Jennifer Saints cobbled together a series of sex scenes and called it a romantic mystery.Thirty minutes before her wedding, the heroine is given a set of pictures showing her groom-to-be engaging in sex with a group of women.  Naturally, she calls the wedding off, and as she is fleeing the scene, still wearing her wedding dress, who should appear but her teenage crush.  She hasn't seen him for twelve years, but he whisks her away, and they proceed to have sex as often as possible, preferably nude and outdoors on the deck of the hero's beach house.  It goes without saying that every time they have sex, it's better than the last time.  Unfortunately, there's nothing there that we haven't read before, dozens of times, and that scene with the melted chocolate has been done so many times it was embarrassing to read it again.The book could also do with a good copy editor.  It's riddled with mistakes like "daring-do" for "derring-do", "me and you" instead of "you and I", and the hero wanting the heroine "bad" not badly.  They are a real distraction from what little plot there is.Ms. Saints has done her homework, and manages to include almost all of the cliches for this genre.  The heroine's family is rich and evil.  The hero's is poor and good.  His mother is a Wise Woman who rules her family of wild men with the iron hand in the velvet glove.  Unfortunately, she has a lot of children, so this series can run on for a long time.Evidently, the paperback edition has some photographs in it that are supposed to enhance the story (such as it is).  They aren't in the Kindle Fire version, so I can't say anything about them.I got this book as a freebie, and it was over-priced.  I would only recommend it to someone who is desperate.
