From The Back Of The Book:
THE MAN WHO GOT AWAY....
Lucas Hall once made Tessa Jardine feel 200% female--and 100% foolish after he walked out of her life without a word. Now, the tall, heart-catchingly handsome former Coast Guard hero is back. But a painful tragedy stands between them, and no matter how determined Lucas is to regain her trust, Tessa's equally determined to resist him. If only she could forget the passion she'd found in his strong arms.
....Is Back
Tessa once set Lucas's world on fire, and he's willing to do anything to regain her love. Working together has created a tension too powerful to ignore, and reignited the desire that's too powerful to resist. And with each passing day, and each burning kiss, Lucas is determined to make Tessa believe in their future together-and to make her see him again as one great catch.
Review:
After years of working her way up in the male-dominated world of Great Lakes shipping, Tessa Jardine lands her dream job as First Mate on the passenger ship SS TALIESEN. That is, it was her dream job, until she meets her captain, Lucas Hall. Ten years ago, Lucas broke her heart when he walked away from her without a word, and she can't forgive him for that--or for his more recent part in a failed rescue attempt that cost her younger brother his life. Now Lucas, an ex-Coast Guard hero, is back to complicate her life. Working together everyday, Lucas and Tessa discover the attraction between them never truely died.
I'm glad to see Ms. Jerott is continuing her pattern of writing great stories. This is a sweet and sexy story. The chemistry between Tessa and Lucas is set in motion on the first few pages and builds throughout. There are a few things they must overcome in their relationship, but this builds interest. Add a little humor, an undercurrent of mystery and danger, and all this equals a great read.
VERY GOOD
