Synopsis:
A spellbinding thriller, as suspenseful as it is sensual.
The richly-textured settings of Seattle's commercial waterfront, San Diego's topless beaches and the breathtaking waters off Cabo San Lucas create the backdrop for a riveting story of love, romance and betrayal, as a young couple find themselves in a fight for their lives having been set up by the FBI as perfect bait.
Review:
This is not my typical kind of book, but I must say I enjoyed it. Corey Phillips is devastated when he finds his beloved wife in bed with his best friend. To escape the pain, Corey starts a new life in California with a new love, Jennifer. He and Jennifer decide to restore a vintage yacht (and it takes as long to read about the restoration as it does to actually complete it!)
But the story becomes more interesting in its second half, when the murder/mystery element kicks in. I won't add spoilers, but the path to happiness for Corey and Jennifer is not a smooth one. There's lots of drama, and a daring rescue, which is well-executed by the author.
Warning--there's a good amount of graphic violence in this one, but I don't think it was gratuitous. Overall a good read, although the first half dragged for me.
