Rather than summarize the plot which has a number of twists, I'll just say this: I couldn't find a lull in the story to put it down. Until 3 am. Damn you, Lyn Stone whoever you are.I enjoyed the dialogue, there was crackling chemistry and the author doled out goodies about H/h and plot at a pace that made it very inconvenient for sleep. I particularly appreciated how the heroine's full character was revealed over time and she was a ball buster, literally. Feisty gals are so much fun. The captain's feelings also develop over the course of the story and in reaction to her. I think he wasn't quite as developed as she was but still a likable, handsome hero with appealing vulnerability. Best of all, the author managed to keep the suspense going, her dialogue and narrative kept a number of possible villains in the picture for an unsettling undercurrent. Even the Captain's best friend had a few ambiguous moments that kept me wondering and awake. Damn you, Lyn Stone. Did I mention it was 3 am when I finally couldn't hold the kindle up?There was a bit too much 'wedding as emotional football.' Will they, won't they, should he, should she and what constituted acceptable emotions to justify going through with it or not. So the threat plot was stronger for me than the wedding/consummation of the romance and since this was a romance not a mystery, I give it a happy, tired 4 stars.  I found this a romantic story that was difficult to put down in the middle.
