Restless Wind
JOURNEY INTO FEAR
She'd been warned that a ruthless drug trafficker had marked her for death, but Taylor Brannigan hadn't listened, and now it looked as if that mistake might be her last. Drugged, then kidnapped and held prisoner on a small boat sailing deep into the San Juan Islands, she wondered in despair if this gloriously beautiful place was to be her grave ....
And yet nearly as disturbing as her fear was the strange longing she had come to feel for her enigmatic abductor, the man who called himself Ross MacGregor. As the restless wind sent them drifting farther and farther away from everything she knew and loved, she found herself aching for him, this man who surely meant to kill her ....

About the author
Nikki Benjamin
54 books8 followersNikki Benjamin was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, but after living in the Houston area for almost 30 years, she considers herself a Texan. She attended Notre Dame High School and graduated from the University of Missouri–Columbia with a degree in secondary education. She worked in the circulation department of the Houston Public Library and as the executive assistant to the president of an international marine engineering company prior to embarking on her writing career.
Always an avid reader, Nikki was encouraged to write by a good friend, a fellow reader and writer. They discussed story ideas and critiqued each other’s manuscripts, and eventually sold their first books a few months apart. During the early years of her writing career, Nikki especially enjoyed being able to work at home while raising her son, now attending college in Montana.
Nikki has also had the opportunity to travel extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Western Europe. She has sailed along the Dalmatian coast on a 42-foot charter boat, and in recent years, she lived for several weeks at a time in such exotic places as Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Jakarta, Indonesia. Currently, she enjoys sailing on Galveston Bay, where she crews regularly on a friend’s 42-foot sailboat. She attends the Houston symphony and Stages theatre, likes to pot garden on her patio, and often cooks lavish meals to share with friends. She is still an avid reader, and she continues to enjoy traveling, especially to western Montana, either on her own or with her equally adventurous friends.

This was an enjoyable read even if it required a lot of suspension of belief like why the hero didn't tell her he was a US Marshall straight-away once she was lucid and instead let her believe he was a criminal. Also the heroine is attracted to a so-called criminal? But this aside the book was enjoyable. The heroine actually had a good marriage before her hubby died but she did have a tendency to hold grudges like not talking to her father when she learnt he wasn't her bio dad. Most of their time is spent on water and after initial hiccups these two find a rhythm and gradually open up to each other. Enjoyable first read by this author for me. So far all my UBS paperbacks have been great!

4.5 stars.
Upon rereading, I realized the ending was a bit abrupt and left me with a few questions. Really needed an epilogue. Still enjoyed the book a lot.
