Surrender At Sea

by Becca Dale

Experience has taught forty-year-old Jessica Summers how to manage and diffuse even the toughest situation, but when she's assigned to protect a multi-millionaire game designer everything changes. The hot, young entrepreneur with sex on his mind becomes the one thing Jess can't control. Damned irritating brat. Petite and sassy, Jess teases Sean McCloud's sense of humor and ignites emotions he's repressed for too long. He doesn't see the twelve year age difference as an issue. His heart and body want her plain and simple. Sean just has to get past her hang ups, survive a pirate attack at sea, and convince his sexy bodyguard to surrender. What could be easier?

A nifty tale, full of smart dialogue, hot sex, and some soul-delving. Sean is a darling, handsome, rich, and completely unspoiled by his self-made wealth. And the boy knows what he wants. Jessica has all the angst in this story. Married as a teenager to a man ten years older, she’s been browbeaten into thinking she’s no prize sexually and to believe a man twelve years younger can see her as desirable shakes her. Her struggle between the integrity of having an affair with a client and letting herself do what she wishes make her a sympathetic character to the reader while it contrasts sharply with her toughness as a bodyguard as the scene with the pirates plainly shows. You’ll hope all the way through that she can see past the age difference and accept what Sean, mature for his years, offers.

Only complaint: Incorrect use of “you’re” on numerous occasions

A little cougar action in this one-well done, fun and sexy on a stick.
