Kara Mikos just wanted to get away – away from her overprotective father, away from the pressure of running her own business and being a wealthy heiress, and away from constantly being followed around by bodyguards and the media. When she slips onboard a cruise ship for some well-deserved time away, she is determined to let loose and have some fun…which she finds in the arms of Harper Long."She wondered if she was disloyal to feminists everywhere because she liked the way he took charge. Running a business and managing a vast fortune meant she always had to be in control. It was a relief to hand over the reins, even if it was only in the bedroom."Harper Long has been hired by Kara’s father to keep her safe from a kidnapping threat that has come to his attention. After Harper follows Kara on-board the cruise ship, he figures what better way to keep her safe then to keep her in his arms – heck, he’d been fighting the attraction he’s felt for her since he first saw her over a week ago when he began keeping an eye on her.When the threat to Kara becomes real and Harper’s true identity is exposed, Kara can’t help but feel betrayed – she has had enough of liars and men who only want or have to be with her because of her father. In order to stay safe, Kara knows she must allow Harper to keep an eye on her, but she is resolved to keep him out of her cabin…and her heart, no matter how strong the attraction is."For heaven’s sake, she wished her body didn’t respond to his presence so strongly, as if she were one of Pavlov’s dogs. In heat."I really enjoyed this fast-paced story. It packs a lot between the covers – romance, steam, action, suspense, and one sexy hero! The characters were great – you could really feel how just how much Kara needed to get away and there was no denying just how hard Harper had fallen for Kara. Although this was a quick read, the story didn’t suffer at all, and now I can’t wait to meet Harper’s brothers from the Long Shot Security Company who we were introduced to in this story.I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.
