She's agreed to spend a few days on the boat with him after he's bought her a meal on shore and some clothes. She recalls when she was waking up from her dream of someone touching her and whispering sweet things in her ear. He was having visions of doing what he had really whispered in her ear.
Steamy Hot sex is just the right mix of things...
Love all the talk about how to set the sails and other nautical knowledge.
She had proved to him she could handle the boat and loved the fierceness of the storm and she was no longer the person of the past.
They talk to one another about their past and it catches up with her when they show up at his parents house ...
What happens next is unforeseen and could mean the end to both of their businesses and relationship...




Living the Fantasy by Joanne Rock (online copy only)
This Murphy family series is about Ryan and he is in charge of the global properties, a specific one: Venus Hotel in Fiji.
Keira is there to do battle with him.
Love the detailed lush descriptions of the fauna and wildlife on the island. Makes we reach out to touch the flowers as she walks by listening to the birds...
They had been lovers for 14 days in their college days as they backpacked across Nepal.
She is there to protest that now her funding for the school for undeserved children would lose their chance at an education.
She's agreed to stay at a hotel villa since she's stranded there for 3 more days due to lack of ferry runs. Maybe she can talk him into funding the school.
They both remember the good ole days and when he asks if she wants to resurrect their love she agrees...
She tells him what she's been doing for the past 8 years and he sums it up by saying sorry her family hasn't been so supportive of her career.
She also agrees to accompany him back home to Cape Cod for a family lobsterfest to show her what real family is like as many of the others will be there.
That will give Ryan time to explain to her why he is in the Fiji Island area. Hot steamy sex scenes only add to the appeal of reading this book.
Love the descriptions of the hand made necklaces and their significance.
