Blurb:
She’s fighting to stay independent—he’s determined to
protect her no matter what…
Brooke Richards survived the earthquake that took her
parents and most of her leg, but she needs time to regroup. A trip to Florida for a
state-of-the-art prosthesis and to visit her best friend Linda seems ideal. But
the trip turns traumatic when Brooke witnesses Linda’s boat disintegrating in a
fiery explosion.
Police officer Garrett Ciavello believes the blast was
intentionally set to hide something Linda found on a dive. When Brooke offers
her expertise in underwater archeology, Garrett accepts her help with the
investigation. But since his fiancĂ©e’s death years ago, Garrett has become
overprotective, and as they are drawn to each other, Garrett realizes he will
risk anything to keep Brooke safe.
Brooke is fiercely independent. Garrett is fiercely
protective. Will they heal each other’s wound and find a killer…before it’s too
late?

Book Review:
Brooke is an underwater
archeologist, but a teacher in her “real” life (the one that pays the
bills). She and her parents spent
vacations scuba diving in various locations, until the earthquake took
everything from her. Since that day two
years ago, she hasn’t been on a dive.
But now she may be the only one who can solve the case… and maybe find
love; if she is willing to let someone take care of her.
A sweet love story. This story has scary parts, tension, romance,
the requisite noble parting, and a happy ending. However, it also has a couple murders, some
poisonings, a kidnapping, a psychopath, a clown, an actor, (just kidding about
the clown, wanted to see if you were paying attention), and lots of hot law
enforcement types.
I love a good love story… and this
was a good love story. The story was
intriguing, moved at a good place (fast enough, but not too fast), the
characters were relatable and likeable, and there was lots of love making,
steamy sex, and making out.
I give this story 4 out of 5 clouds
and a typical romance chili pepper rating…. I’d give it a 3. A good read.
