Scarlett has decided to let her hair down for once in her busy, pre-planned, always prepared, ever practical life. She has won an opportunity for a vacation on a cruise which she simply can't refuse. However, she has no real idea just how life altering this vacation really will end up being.

The phrase, "hot and steamy" doesn't even begin to describe the sexual play and tension within this erotic novel. Early on in the story line the sexual tension begins with an onset of intense heated reactions from each character upon first seeing one another. Each sexual encounter is extremely charged and very well written.

Somehow among all this sexuality, the plot itself still manages to stay on point and keep the reader anticipating what will happen next. I really enjoyed the main heroine's character. She is feisty and independent while at the same time she seems to really know how to let go of herself and enjoy the moment.

I did, however, find parts of this plot to be anti-climatic and somewhat pointless. With all the wonderfully written parts of this story going on when certain aspects came to light, I found myself forgetting they were even going on. While they didn't take away from the novel, they just simply didn't give to the story either way.

In conclusion, this story had me so pleased by how well written it is that I immediately hopped online and attempted to search out more books by the same author. I even wanted to find out if there were going to be more books including the same characters so I could read on in their lives. I would love to suggest this book and hope you enjoy it as well.
