Why the title? I don't know. I got this book from paperback swap on a whim and, since it was free, I wasn't as disappointed in this book as i might have been.
Gina Ryan is an ex-cop, though we don't learn much about why she's ex except that her partner betrayed her. I'm sure there could have been more explanation, but there wasn't. She's now the chef on a cruise boat and about to land her own television series though she's hiding the fact that she is slowly going blind.

I really like this series. Yes it is not something that is completely believable but come on do we really read books to make us stay in the NOW? I read books to take me away from it all and these books usually do. I enjoyed this couple and Trace has been a back ground character for a while so it was nice to have his story. Yes it was a little odd that the girl seemed to need help a lot when she has the background she does (don;t want to give away anything) but I really liked her anyway. I like ...more
I don't understand why these books are marketed as light and fun when they're not.
I also didn't think this one was believable. The last one I read (photographer who knits? forget the title) at least had a situation that seemed right -- stranded on an island, far away from the everyday world. This one is about an ex-cop-turned-pastry-chef working on a big cruise ship. So she can handle puff pastry AND handguns. Oh, and she's going blind.

good book, need to read more in the series. like the idea and the characters, glad to know the characters are seen in other books of the series. fun and light with the perfect amount of danger in it.
What's not to love about a souped up SEAL, a former cop turned pastry chef, and various other strange connections and relations all coming together on a tropical cruise? Oh, and they solve a murder and safe humanity from a madman while falling in love. Ha.
I thought I read this one on Hurricane Ike evac, but apparently I read it before. So. The heroine is the ex-cop pastry chef on a cruise ship. The hero is an ex-spy--or he wants to be an ex-spy, but he's talked into taking on "one last easy job." Going on a cruise and handing off some information. Except nothing's ever as easy as it seems. He gets tangled up with the heroine, who has her own nasty nemesis in the food service area, who gets tangled up with the hero's nemesis, and there a...more
A navy SEAL + hot chef + military secrets = a good beach read
A little like Suzanne brockmann .. a decent read.
pretty good. i feel kind of sorry for Izzy because you finally got a see into his past and he is forced to work with her father, who walked out on him and his mother. I can't wait to finally read about Izzy.

Fun little book in a series -- each one follows a member of an elite special forces unit as he goes on a mission and ends up working with the eventual woman of his dreams. This one was about Max trying to track down Cruz on a remote island, where Miki ends up after a plane wreck.
These are great beach reads for sure -- I'd give more stars but I can't bring myself to put it the same rank as more serious or intricate books.

Fun read but not in any way believable. Would have liked a little more wrap up at then end with Gina's staff. You do find out more about Izzy's background.
Gina is a pastry chef on a cruise ship and is having trouble with sabotage in the kitchen. Trace is a SEAL who was put on the ship to guard a package.

Not a great book; as close to a Harlequin romance as I get, with hunky super spies and sex scenes. Good enough to read at the pool, though, and finish in the car on the way home. Cute children and animals for good measure.

I've read the other two in this series, and I still have issues with the plausibility of the whole plot and Navy SEAL unit. But for the most part, they were entertaining reads.
I like her contemporary books better than her historical romances. Her "Code Name" series are easy reading.
Better than the past couple in her Navy SEAL series. Fast-paced suspense and a decent plot.
