[Grace · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was SOOOO cheesy and unrealistic!!! I will never read it again. Aside from the AWFUL romance, the rest of it was really good! It's a shame that such a fast-paced, original story got bogged down by a cringey, blush-worthy romance! This book is written by a Christian author, but it is NOT on my christian shelf because there is so little Christianity in it.

In summary, I liked it a lot, but I hated it. :)

Accountant Johnnie James leaves her Atlanta firm to begin creating a computer system for Ventura Enterprises, Inc. located on a tropical island. The Ventura brothers are attempting to turn an old family property into a luxury resort. Pirates seem to be causing problems and that leads to some suspense and drama throughout the book. This is a generally predictable book, but it is a fun read.

The cover is sappy and corny but the book was very good. It had action and the setting is very exciting and romantic.
