Synopsis
A desperate search…
Schoolteacher Gracie James has never seen more danger than her kindergarten grade classroom, but when she goes searching for her missing sister, she’s thrown into a world of sex, crime...and passion. Following a hot lead, she sneaks onto a stranger’s boat—and gets caught. Their one-sided conversation convinces her of two things. One: the guy is seriously sexy. Two: he knows something about her sister. Oh, yeah. And did she mention he’s sexy?
And a sizzling attraction…
Jake Alexander, former cop, is staking out a yacht brimming with criminal activity, for an insurance company, when a woman, dressed to kill and totally irresistible, stumbles into his dangerous undercover op. If he hadn’t tackled her, she’d have tottered straight onto the questionable yacht in those ridiculous high heels. Then she’d be dead. Or worse. As much as he’d like to kick her off his boat, he can’t risk her going off on some hare-brained scheme—but he can’t keep her around to muck up his job. Oh, yeah. And did he mention she’s distracting as hell?
Lead to dangerous desire…
Unfortunately, she has a keen mind of her own. And a body any man would die for. Jake’s attempt to keep Gracie safe quickly morphs into a reluctant alliance. And a whole lot more... But Gracie finds herself knee deep in more trouble than she bargained for, with secrets revealed and the criminals coming after her. Unless they find a way to trust each other, they’re finished. Oh, yeah. And did they mention they’re in love?

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for a full honest review from Roses Book Snobs.
Overall, I liked the premise of the story and the mystery/danger element. I give that 4 Stars.
The characters were strong and the female lead wasn't weak or pouty, which to me is a good thing. The male lead was sexy. I give this an over all 4 Stars.
The flow of the story was okay for me but it seemed to drag out in some areas and the author really skimmed over the sexy parts between Gracie and Jake. Their love scenes could have been pretty epic because the author had me drawn in emotionally with the characters, but I feel as though the scenes were sugar coated. For this I can only give 2 stars.
So taking in account on the criteria I judge a book on, my overall rating is 3 stars. I call it pretty good and right up there in the middle for me. Thank you for the opportunity to read the book and review it.
