Tame their desire? Better to try and tame the wind.Four years after her father's tragic death, Ali Graham is still trying to piece together her shattered life. However, with her mother's worsening illness and mounting medical bills, Ali is in danger of losing her inherited yacht-chartering business. Things can't possibly get worse--until the man who broke her heart sails back into her life.After that night when desire to comfort spilled over into lovemaking, Jackson McKenzie's crushing guilt drove him to say things he didn't mean, to leave when he wanted to stay. But when he discovers Ali is partnered with Sydney's most notorious entrepreneur, he has no choice but to step in.If Jackson thinks Ali is going to let him swoop in and claim Wind Seeker as his own, she has a news flash for him. She can take care of herself, and as much as her traitorous body still craves Jackson's touch, she'll fight for her father's legacy, tooth and nail.Suspicion and distrust slice through their reignited passion like a gale force wind through the rigging. But failing to weather the storm risks more than a second chance at love. Their very lives could be at stake.Product Warnings Love is never easy. Especially when revenge, guilt and scorching desire all fight for control of the helm.I am huge Lexxie Couper fan so of course I jumped at the chance to read Suspicious Ways.Ali lost her father four years ago and is trying to keep his charter business, along with the yacht he built with his own hands afloat. Her mother is sick and government insurance does not pay for her treatment, or the assisted living apartment she must live in. Ali is doing all that she can to keep her father's business alive, even selling two of her father's charter boats, and working for the creepy billionaire Zane Peterson.Jackson was close friend with Ali's father even given their age difference. He left Ali the day after her father's funeral, and the one night he gave in and finally slept with Ali. Now Jack is back in Sydney to take over Ali's charter business, the yacht and Ali.Ali is strong willed and stubborn almost to a fault. There were times I wanted to slap her up side the head. But, there were also times I wished I could just hug her and tell her it would all be alright and everything would work out. I liked that Ali did not back down and that she would do anything to keep her father's legacy alive and get her mother the treatment and care she needed.I felt the same way about Jack as I did for Ali. And, it's no wonder Jack's boat is called Suspicious Ways. As the same with Ali, I wanted to slap him up side the head and hug him. Even when I wanted to slap Jack silly and yell him to stop being dumb, I still cheered for him the whole way.Ali and Jack have to over come a lot. But once they finally stop being stubborn and listen to each to each other, they get the happy ending that they both needed and deserved.This book is a good quick read. The love story between Ali and Jack great.Plus you have a creepy billionaire, who at first, I thought was going to walk away without getting what was coming to him, but Lexxie did not disappoint and he got what was coming to him and them some. Another great read by Lexxie.Happy Reading!!Review copy provided for an honest review.
