Daphne du Maurier’s 1941 Frenchman’s Creek can be described as a swashbuckling romance novel. Basically a bodice-ripper with some adventure and good suspense. If you like the sound of that combination you'll like it. It is insanely romantic.

In S.P. Meek's 1931 novel The Drums of Tapajos American adventurers find a lost city (with an Atlantis link) in the Amazon rainforest. It's a flawed utopia with a dark side and the tale is interestingly ambiguous. Worth a read for lost world fans.

Loring Brent's The City of Stolen Lives collects three of his Peter the Brazen Far East adventure tales originally published in the pulp Argosy in 1918. Fast-paced, action-packed and with sinister villains. Solid pulp adventure.

Valley of the Assassins (1975), last of the four thrillers written by Marvin Albert under the name Ian MacAlister. It's about a hunt through the desert for the treasure of the infamous cult of the Assassins.
An absolutely top-notch thriller very much in the Alistair MacLean mould.
