I could not put this book down and literally had to make myself do so after staying up all night. I really loved this book! But then I should tell you that I love anything Amber writes and wait impatiently for each of her new books. This book is a departure for the author in that her usual writing is of the paranormal genre and this book is definitely not that.Aesa is descended from a long line of King Crab fishermen in the Bering Sea. She escaped Alaska and became a doctor after becoming estranged from her sea captain father. She comes back to try and mend fences. Decker is a man with a past and is a deckhand on her father's fishing boat. The two meet when Aesa goes on one of the trips with her dad.To say that Decker is not your typical deckhand is an understatement. He is intelligent, kind, and caring and is just an all round good guy. Aesa is immediately drawn to him-and he to her. This is the story of their romance but it is a bit darker then just your run of the mill romance.I don't want to tell any spoilers but let's just say that the weather on the Bering Sea becomes a whole other character in this story. Add in an unsavory character also aboard ship and you have the makings of a really good story. And I mean a really good story. I like a good romance and this was a great romance. As I said before, Amber added in some darker elements and at times the book is non-stop action, that is, when it's not being a romance. I fell in love with the characters as they are so well written and real. Amber is at her best when writing her characters. She has a knack for making them real and people that you would love to know-with the exception of her bad guys of course. She does know how to write a great villain! In this case, the Bering Sea seems to be the most heinous of villains and Aesa hates it with her whole heart and she has major good reasons for doing so. Just a hint,I would keep tissues handy for some of the scenes, it's easily one of the most emotional books I have read this year.I hope Amber never quits writing her paranormal books but if it had to happen, I think she has found another niche for her writing. I certainly will be reading any genre she decides to write in. As I have told her in the past, she could write the telephone book and I would read and enjoy it. I was given this book for an honest and fair review.This book was a great story,and I highly recommend it.  (PureTextuality.com)
