Review: An high octane romance novel
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is not my usual kind of book.  My own life has had so much romance in it that I do not usually spend my reading time in that genre.  But this is one I am glad I downloaded and read. I was directed to the book from an author site, and for free, what could I lose.  So last night when I was finished working on  the third book of my Queen of Scots suite and needed a break, I went to my 400+ Kindle library, and read this in one sitting.  The protagonist is surprisingly believable.  As a retired prosecutor who worked daily with cops, I see Skylar's move from traditional law enforcement in a department that did not provide her the needed emotional support following a tragic officer related death, to working security on a cruise line as a very smart move. And she is a smart character. And I love how she meets the romantic interest in what starts out to be an intuituve bust.  He, too, is introduced into the plot in an intriguing manner that keep my interest level high until I was immersed in the plot.  I will reveal no more, but this story was captivating enough to engage me to read it in a single sitting, and it has enough action, suspense  and plausibility that I did not feel disappointment in venturing into a genre I usually avoid. This is an ideal beach or airplane read, worth purchasing.  I am recommending it to my adult daughter who heads to Europe next week and has a lot of flight time to fill.
