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.
