My Review:This is a sexy, quick little novella and as such there's just not a lot of development to it. To make that more obvious is the fact that most, if not all, the story is told from Ella's point of view. As a result, I just didn't feel like I got to know who Paul was. But for what it is....short and action-packed, the book works for an hour or so of entertainment and as a sampling of Jill Sorenson's romantic suspense writing.The entire book (except for the final scene) takes place over two days on a kayak trip gone wrong. Ella along with her sister (Abby- who has her full-length story coming out in a few weeks) and niece hire Paul as their guide to go on a quick island explore. Ella's sister starts feeling sick so it ends up just being Ella and Paul...oh and some drugs and bad guys shooting at them. It's adrenaline and action packed along with some pretty good sexual chemistry.I enjoyed Ella's attitude toward the chemistry. Paul is someone that she sees as out of her league, but she can see he's interested so she wants to explore that chemistry. Paul's a little more reticent. And this is where I wish there were scenes more from his POV because  he seemed a little bi-polar at times. He obviously likes her, but doesn't act on it or suddenly pulls back. It would have been helpful to know what was going through his mind.But overall, this was a good little taste of some adrenaline packed romantic suspense from Jill Sorenson. I own the other novella featuring Paul's sisters story. I need to go back and read it now and I'm definitely looking forward to Abby's story.I received a complimentary copy of this book in return for an honest review.
