Rough Waters
Sunny returns to Alaska eager to start a new life in the tiny town in which she'd spent most of her childhood. She's anxious to reconnect with friends and listen to the crab boat captains tell their stories of life on the Bering Sea.
But things aren't as wonderful as she'd hoped. The town still hasn't gotten over the tragic demise of the Mystique, her father's crab boat - especially Eli Sloane.
Casual conversation leads Sunny to believe that the sinking of the Mystique might not have been an accident - that her father might actually have been murdered. How can she get to the truth?
Eli Sloane is satisfied with his life. Recently promoted to deckboss on his father's crab boat, things seem to going in the right direction. But when Sunny Lerner returns to Eagle Harbor, he's immediately on edge. The tenth anniversary of the sinking of the Mystique is quickly approaching and he's afraid she's there to commemorate it somehow. The last thing the town needs is another reminder of that terrible time - especially his mother who lost her beloved younger brother on the Mystique.
As Eli tries to keep Sunny away from his mother, he finds that he can't stay away from Sunny.

I really do enjoy the casual reading that is J.L. Paul. Rough Waters has been on my to read list forever! I finally bought it and was able to read through it in one day. I loved the criminal mystery and the steamy chemistry between Eli and Sunny. I kept thinking Sunny would get into more trouble but she was so adamant that the accident wasn't her fathers fault, I expected much worse to happen to her. I liked reading about the long stretches while out on the boat and how Sunny was dealing with having a man she cared for away so much. Overall, this was a happy read, a little but of mystery and lots of stupid girl drama which kind of took away from the story.
The relationship with Amanda and Mef was nothing serious based on how Mef treated her. I was annoyed at the women wherever they would come up for conversation. As always, J.L. has written a lovely story with a nice HEA.

I gave it 4 stars because it's a short story. It is well,written. There's some mystery in there with a bit of romance. Sweet characters, biased on rekindling love and forgiveness.
