Blurb: After the death of her mother, Su-Lin discovers she has an uncle and aunt, a rich Hong Kong couple who whisk her away to Europe on a fairytale trip. Their first stop is France at an exclusive boutique hotel fronting the Mediterranean. Terrence O'Connor knew all his flaws only too intimately, knew no woman could ever accept the sins of his past, knew he'd die alone. A silly mistake puts a naked Terry with a nude Su-Lin in the men's steam room. Totally smitten, his past sins forgotten, Terry manipulates Su-Lin's uncle into a three-week cruise aboard his luxury yacht, the Glory. In adjoining cabins with a connecting door, Su-Lin and Terry find they can't keep their hands off each other. To avoid further upset to her uncle, Su-Lin insists on secrecy. But mere days into the cruise Terry finds Su-Lin unconscious, a victim of attempted murder. Someone is trying to kill his new lover...but why?

Review: After the death of her mother, Su-Lin discovers she has an uncle and aunt, a rich Hong Kong couple who whisk her away to Europe on a fairytale trip. Their first stop is France at an exclusive boutique hotel fronting the Mediterranean.
Terrence O’Connor knew all his flaws only too intimately, knew no woman could ever accept the sins of his past, knew he’d die alone.
A silly mistake puts a naked Terry with a nude Su-Lin in the men’s steam room. Totally smitten, his past sins forgotten, Terry manipulates Su-Lin’s uncle into a three-week cruise aboard his luxury yacht, the Glory. In adjoining cabins with a connecting door, Su-Lin and Terry find they can’t keep their hands off each other. To avoid further upset to her uncle, Su-Lin insists on secrecy.
But mere days into the cruise Terry finds Su-Lin unconscious, a victim of attempted murder. Someone is trying to kill his new lover...but why?
This story was filled with intrigue and had many twists and turns that you never see coming. I found it to be an enjoyable read. It had humor, action, mystery and deciept all mixed up into one interesting story.The hero was sexy and strong. His seduction of Su-Lin was off the charts hot.
The one thing I found that I didn't believe was the heroine Su-Lin. She is just so nieve and trusting. Now their is nothing wrong with that but when you get her back story it just doesn't ring true to me. As a young girl her father dies and her mother is devistated and Su-Lin is left to care for her mess of a mother. So she works two jobs, goes to school and watches over her mother everyday. I would think she would be more worldly after that experience. But that is just my opinion.
All and all it was a good read.
Happy Reading,
Tabitha Blake
