The trouble is, when you run from your problems, you often find out your biggest obstacle is along for the trip–it's you! Reid Carrington realizes that when he finds Jennifer and recognizes the quiet desperation in her eyes. Can he save someone who doesn't want to be saved? Or like a lifeguard rescuing a swimmer, will she pull him down into the undertow in the end?
Recipes for Jennifer's Mango Salsa and Tilly's Bruschetta included.
My Review: *I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.*
I was really excited to see that this book was edited and made into a sweet edition. I've often wondered why authors don't do that because they could have more fans with more readers. I read that language and sexual scenes were removed. That said, there were still a few "spicier" moments that might leave a squeaky clean reader blushing. I would say it's technically clean for an adult.
Jennifer is quite the wild child. It remains a mystery why she chooses to throw herself out of airplanes, among other dangerous things, until later on in the book. Her reasons for thriving on danger and avoiding her parents make sense. She is a very stubborn woman and seems to act before thinking time and time again. My heart really went out to Jennifer. She has built up walls all around her and is hesitant to let them come down. She has to do something to protect herself and being wild and crazy helps.
Reid is also very stubborn and is determined to get his way in helping Jennifer. He is the type of guy who really wants to fix things and sometimes gets in over his head. He comes across as a stick-in-the-mud type of guy, yet he really is tender-hearted and caring under all that gruff. He assumes too much and does what he feels is his duty to help and protect Jennifer, even if it might not be the right thing to do.
It was easy to see why there was an attraction there between them--they are complete opposites. Although they are both adults, they still have many life lessons to learn and I enjoyed the journey that they took. It is a cute story.
Content: no language or violence; a lot of innuendo, talk of wild behavior (skinny dipping, skimpy clothes, etc), mention of a relationship that's a little creepy, and some sizzling kisses that stayed clean; technically clean for an adult reader.
