What would you do if you were a traveller with severe wanderlust, out of your country for the first time, and you fell in love?

And what would you do if you were separated from your new love after only a few days?

Would you search an entire continent?

Europe is a big place when you’ve lost someone.

It’s worse if you’re on the run.

Worse still if you’re guilty.

It doesn’t get any easier when your only friend is a drug addicted vagabond.

Colleen is a naïve young American touring Europe just after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Florian is the experienced traveller she falls in love with. He encourages her to do something she knows she shouldn’t, and then disappears. Colleen, carrying the resultant load of guilt alone, sets out to find him. With the entire European continent to search, she realises she doesn’t really know that much about him, having only a few vague leads to follow, with only her drug-addicted friend for company. A year later, having confronted her guilt and learned some uncomfortable truths about herself, will she still love Florian? Will she ever love anyone or anything again?

A novel of love and travel.

Bart Cline was born in California, USA.

After finishing school he studied film making before abruptly leaving the country to travel. His experiences on the road form the basis for many scenes from his first novel, Wanderlove.

Instead of returning to the USA as he had planned, he stayed in Europe for another year, and then another, before marrying and settling in northern England. Always restless, short careers in publishing, graphics, and IT kept bread on the table.

When his wife passed away due to cancer, he re-thought his life and turned to writing as a career.

Mr Cline has two children and is remarried.

Copout, Mr Cline’s 2013 novel, is a thought-provoking police thriller about a detective who works out the clues to his cases in his dreams.

His newest book, Send Him Victorious, is an amazing epic thriller about what would happen if today’s kings and queens ruled with absolute authority as in the past. How would it affect his or her family, country, and the world? Buy and read to find out!

4.0 out of 5 stars Travel the World and Fall in Love
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2013
Once I started reading Wanderlove, I couldn't put it down! This is a very enjoyable travel adventure/love story. I didn't always like Colleen, the main character, but I felt like I could understand why she made some of the decisions she made, and I sympathized with her. I'm a sucker for a love story anyway, especially if there's a twist to it. I really liked the travel aspect of the story and the descriptions of the different cities, and I enjoyed the sense of adventure in experiencing these places for the first time along with Colleen. Some of the peripheral characters are a little thin, but they serve their purpose in moving the story along. All in all I found Wanderlove to be an excellent first novel by a rising talent. I'm looking forward to reading Cline's second novel, "Copout."

This was a cute story but writing was hard to follow at times. I did love the travels the main character took and description of such places.

I love reading travelogue fact/fiction, but this book was only so-so. The author never really developed the characters so when they were supposed to be very much in love, you kind of wondered why. The best couple of pages of this book was the scene where she left the hospital. He wrote about all the senses and you really felt what the character was going through. Too bad the rest of the book was not as good. Next to A Walk In The Woods, Eat Pray Love, Tales of a Female Nomad, or even The Stand, this is the least engaging work in the travelogue genre.

1.0 out of 5 stars Oh, the Drama!

This book was atrocious. Even the descriptions of international travel couldn't overcome the main charecter's seemingly incessant need for self-loathing, self-pity, and boundless jealousy for everyone around her. This became very wearing, and I found myself unable to finish the book, even with 1/4 left.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre but pleasant romp
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2013
This was a well-written tale of a girl's travels criss-crossing Europe by backpack while she ostensibly searches for a lost lover and runs from what she perceives to be a great crime and moral failing. A romantic tale, yes, and well-told, apart from what I perceived to be a few pitfalls and plot holes. For one, I was absolutely unconvinced of Colleen and Florian's true love; never during their month-long courtship did I see any moments that managed to convince me it was more than a passing affair, and the last sentence of the book make me suspect this was true. I also found Colleen to be a morally ambiguous character, which made it difficult to determine her motivation. Her preoccupation with morality lent her a lack of agency that I found disturbing in a person faced with so great a quest. Simultaneously self-righteous and petty, I found it impossible to discern whether or not Colleen was religious, as she seem obsessed with sin and wracked with guilt, though she barely mentions any other fundamental tenets of religion. On the other hand, I'm grateful that a religious Colleen wasn't used merely as an excuse to give the reader a tour of the architecture of cathedrals around Europe. As the story stood, sightseeing was effortlessly woven into the text, providing framework for the narrative when it would have been easy to reverse the relationship and use the story as a frame for a masturbatory tour of Europe.

If you want a light-hearted romp through Europe, Colleen's sense of guilt may be a little heavy for you, but you'll no doubt find the scenery enjoyable. Though I was unimpressed with the book as a study of a human being-- of her guilt and repentance and what she would do for love-- as a narrative on humanity and culture in general, it was quite entertaining.
