BOOK SYNOPSIS:
When book doctor Jane Pearson arrives at Griffin Lowell’s beach house, she expects a brooding loner. After all, his agent hired her to help the reclusive war journalist write his stalled memoir. Instead, Jane finds a tanned, ocean-blue-eyed man in a Hawaiian shirt, hosting a beach party and surrounded by beauties. Faster than he can untie a bikini top, Griffin lets Jane know he doesn’t want her. But she desperately needs this job and digs her toes in the sand.
Griffin intends to spend the coming weeks at Beach House No. 9 taking refuge from his painful memories-and from the primly sexy book doctor who wants to bare his soul. But warm nights, moonlit walks and sultry kisses just may unlock both their guarded hearts…
REVIEW:
As with all of Ridgway’s stories there is more than just romance. There is adventure. The ride she takes the reader on is filled with emotion. In this story we meet Griffin and Jane. Two completely opposite people in every way. Yet there is something that brings them together.
Most of the time I fall madly in love with the male characters in Ridgway’s books but Griffin took a little while to grow on me and thinking back I realize because of the complex character he is. He is not the knight in shining armor but a wounded soul and Jane took a while too. She is so distant when we meet her but it does not take long to realize the woman she really is.
I enjoyed this book very much. I even enjoyed the background characters of Tess and David and their story.
I can’t wait to read the next one in the series. But then I can never wait for Ridgway’s books!
