David Gilroy was prepared to do his job as a construction worker and set up a new bit of outdoor floorspace on the sensual, tropical island resort of Amante del Mar. What he wasn’t expecting was to happen upon a sunbathing beauty whose feisty spirit and gorgeous body entrance him from the get-go. Gina Munson is a parapsychologist who is determined to find out what supernatural forces seduce the people on the island into relaxing their inhibitions. However she finds herself caught in a web of lust for the hunky contractor. She has to decide if she can get past what happened the last time the resort sank its metaphysical hooks into her and have something even scarier than fantasy: true love.

I found that I really enjoyed this story. It took me a couple of chapters to get into it, but as I went along with the flow, the plot gripped me. The characters are loveable and I especially found myself wanting to discover the secrets of the island with Gina. I would’ve loved to see more on the island’s effects, getting more into what really happens there. Their Secret Paradise is very descriptive, though it got a bit wordy for me at times. Still, the story was really solid, the sex was scorching and it was a fun book to read!

Taylor Spencer is a bitter man still recovering from a vehicular accident who has made Dancing Star's Dianna Remington extremely miserable. However, they are both coerced into taking a trip together to Australia by Dianna's brother. Their plane crashes on route and they must each learn to work with each other to survive the harsh journey ahead of them as they struggle with wilderness survival in the Australian rainforest. Their survival will come down to one thing, their willingness to face their desires and battles with each other.

I have to mention something before I go further and that is that it is absolutely crucial to read the first two books in this series in order to follow the story in this book. Not only do we follow Taylor & Dianna's journey but we also are given a very detailed glimpse into the demise of Danger & Lacey's marriage, not to mention that we find out the identity of Lacey's mystery man. I really felt for Dianna, Taylor was just an awful person to be partnered up with, and despite all of his issues, the way that he would use personal bits of info to verbally attack her was just simply brutal. I battled tears as I read some of the passages because I could only imagine the pain that it caused Dianna. I understood that it was a defense mechanism for Taylor but there was a lot of anger and hate coming from him and I only had a well of sympathy for Dianna who was not in a very enviable situation. She was a very appealing character, headstrong, independent, and determined to survive. Taylor, as you got to know him some more in detail also showed more positive human qualities. Overall, both characters were very engaging and definitely drew you in to the plot of the story. Please take note that the sex in this book was off the scales, beautifully written and extremely steamy.

P.S. *Keep a box of Kleenex handy for this book, you'll need it.*
