This book was okay. I found myself skimming through a lot of parts, especially the dialogue. I feel like this needs an editor, not because of grammar, but to weed out unnecessary dialogue and inner monologue that bogged down the story.Things I liked:The setting - A romantic story set aboard a crab boat is pretty original!Decker - I liked that he'd been to jail and he was a blue collar guyI liked when the story picked up during the storm. The action kept me involved when I was about to put the book down after a slooooow beginning.What I didn't like:Long dialogue and exposition dumpsAesa was a total drip, she always used big college words, but was pretty silly and over-dramatic for the most part. And for someone who was supposedly a doctor, she spent an awful lot of time making dinner and doing dishes, not using her college education. I didn't like that when she offered to go on the ship, the first thing she suggested was that she would make dinner. Really? And for the whole book she was continually bringing men things - beer, food, etc. A little sexist. The only time I connected to her character was when she really went after what she wanted in the bedroom.Hasty sex scenes - the sensual level of this book was pretty low. There was so much potential for some rough and tumble sex with Decker. Pretty disappointing.A rapist subplot - can we please be done with these in romance novels??Anyway, not really one I'd recommend but it had potential!
