Gracie is the quintessential schoolmarm who is actually sexy… and Jake is the broken cop with a chip on his shoulder. Gracie is trying to find her wild sister who has disappeared. One night she descends on the docks to scout out her sister’s last location dressed … well… not like a schoolmarm. Jake is doing some investigating on his boat when she pops in trying to get away from some bad guys. Just so happens that they are both interested in the same bad guys.
Jake whisks her away to his swanky house and they proceed to argue and get in on for most of the book. The characters were likeable, but there were times I wanted to roll my eyes at both of them. Jake treated her nasty quite a few times, and Gracie kept being obliviously unaware of putting herself in insanely dangerous situations. The action was a little slow, but toward the middle to end of the book, it really picks up. When both characters get over themselves and realize their feelings, Gracie is put in a life or death situation, and Jake races to save her.
The attraction between both characters was interesting and the end had a nice twist. An okay romantic read for an evening or two.
