Book Blurb
It started as a girls' outing to California's beautiful Channel Islands State Park. When Ella Hammond embarks on a kayaking trip with sexy adventure guide Paul Dawson, sparks fly—but so does gunfire from a boat of drug smugglers.
Now Ella and Paul are on the run, soaked and stranded in a rocky hideout. Ella feels like she'll never be warm again. Until Paul shares his body heat—igniting a fire between them that's nearly too hot to handle!
The adventure continues in Backwoods, and pick up Paul's sister's novella in Passion and Peril, both from Harlequin HQN!
Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Ella Hammond and her sister Abby decided to fill in on the father-daughter trip that Brooke, Abby’s daughter, planned with her dad. He backed out yet again. These three have been almost inseparable since Abby and her husband, Ray’s, divorce.
The trip has brought them to the Southern California Channel Islands. They all three start a kayak trip with their hot guide Paul Dawson. When Abby got ill, Brooke had to return her to the dock. Paul and Ella were left to continue on to see the caves, the beach and the seals. Ella is unsure if her sister’s sudden illness is real or a matchmaking ploy.
Ella and Paul make a discovery in the caves and have no clue that what they find floating would throw them into a race for their lives. They end up being hunted and must rely on each other while they hide to stay safe.
This novella was a very fast read. It sets the stage for the next novel. The storyline reveals how Ella and Paul met and survived the ordeal that could have driven them apart. They worked well together and the physical chemistry they had with each other was almost tangible to the reader. I liked the ending and am anxious to read the next book to see what happens next. This novella was a fun exciting read. I give it a 4 out of 5.
