Julie and Grant had previously had an explosive sexual relationship. Grant was a straight, by-the-book British pilot who always put his responsibilities ahead of his relationship with Julie. Julie had lost a sibling to cystic fibrosis, endured a broken home when her parents could not cope with the loss, and could not, herself, stand anyone that made her settle for less than the best.

Ms. Christine London has written a novella which is not only fast-paced, but volatile. She went into depth with her characterizations and showed a fiery sensual side to sexual encounters. Her secondary characters were depicted in enough depth to make the story flow well. She showed the dynamic actions for the Coast Guard and even went into some of the seriousness faced on a daily basis by the members.

The book was written in such a way that it was almost as if I was standing on the boat during the rescue and hiding in the background when they faced their next encounter. I was spellbound visualizing the forceful danger they must face.

I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone who wants to read a tension-filled, quick, uplifting story about some of our everyday heroes.
