After waiting two years for the trust fund her grandfather had left her, Christine and her two best friends, Katie and Erin, embark on a cruise to paradise. Lucky for them (or actually, a credit to Christine's superior trip planning), their ship has the men of their dreams aboard. Harley, Kevin and Mark have been the girls' teenage crushes and now adulthood lusts.

Harley, Kevin, and Mark are pro-wrestlers and have worked hard. Needing a break from the work and the fans, they decided to take a cruise. Christine and her friends prove to be just the distraction they need. Harley is instantly attracted to Christine, and she has loved him since his father wrestled.

A beautiful cruise has gone awry when the ship is suddenly sunk while they were camping on a private island. It is here that their passions, their fears, and this story unfold.

This was a compelling idea. The friendships between the girls were wonderful - filled with humor and the secrets that only best friends know. The overall story seemed scattered and at times only there for the purpose of sex, but the sex was explosive and extremely erotic. If you like a lot of heat and fire in your stories this is one for you; if you prefer a more cohesive plot then this will probably not be the right book. Overall, a good premise, good writing and I hope to read more from Ms. Davidson in the future.
