ABOUT THE SAPPHIRE AFFAIR (Jewel Novel #1):
Bounty hunter Jake Harlowe knows how to track a criminal. So when a group of swindled shareholders hires him to trail their former CEO, Jake expects a quick trip to the Cayman Islands to close another case. Until a devastatingly beautiful woman gets in the way.
Steph Anderson is visiting the Caymans for a rock climbing and dive trip—or so she tells Jake. She’s really trying to find out whether or not her stepfather embezzled money from his company. The last thing Steph needs is the distraction of a sexy, charming man whose kisses drive her wild.
Soon, the pair discover they’re after the same target—and millions in jewels. While Jake can’t be certain Steph isn’t working for her stepfather, and Steph can’t be certain Jake isn’t after the diamonds for himself, they can agree the heat between them is intense, and neither can deny the passion for long.
But the morning after, Steph discovers that she just might have slept with the enemy, and now she’ll have to outwit him to get everything she needs…
Excerpt
She
cut him off, slicing her hand through the air. “No. No. No. And more no. Did
you not hear me? The sex-toy mistress practically clung to me, and then I was
very nearly subjected to a discussion of Eli’s predilections.” She dragged a
hand through her hair in frustration. “I did not find the bowlful of diamonds,
so we’ll have to go back again, and my champagne buzz is nearly gone, so I
could really use a Cherry Popsicle.”
“Is
that code for a ruby-encrusted—”
“No.
There’s a bar along the beach that serves frozen cherry margaritas and they’re
called Cherry Popsicles because they’re made around a frozen block of cherry
ice, and when you get to the end you can suck on the Popsicle in the middle of
it, and if I do not get one stat, my brain will be permanently branded with
images of my stepfather’s fiancée holding that thing,” she said, gesturing
wildly at the black pouch.
“Fair
enough. To the Cherry Popsicle purveyor we go. Do they have ice cream? I do
love a good ice-cream cone.”
“I’ll
find you ice cream, Jake.”
“By
the way, what’s a bandage dress? Is that like a dress made out of Band Aids?”
She
heaved a sigh.
“No. It’s a style. It’s very clingy and tight, but the fabric is
sturdy,” she said, stopping to point to her breasts as if to show how a bandage
dress would hug her curves.
He
cleared his throat, and when she looked up, she saw him looking down.
At
her boobs.
“I
forgot. You’re a boob starer.
Didn’t mean to tempt you, since you’re trying to
stay on the wagon.”
He
held up his hands in mock surrender.
“One, you say that like it’s a bad thing.
Two, you have fantastic breasts. And three, do you blame me? You were waving
your hands in front of them. I had no choice but to stare at them.”
This story takes off with high suspense in the tropical environment of
blue ocean and warm sands. Jake and Steph are both after answers yet
neither know they are searching for the same answers yet for different
reasons. Jake's first impression of Steph nearly knocked him flat.
Lauren does her first meetings like no one else. You feel the Sizzling
attraction warming every word exchanged. The banter between these two had me smiling and warm because you could feel the attraction and the interest. One kiss and these two were hooked and the chase began.
The suspense in this sexy read had me gripping my kindle. I love instalove stories ..but when you give me instant connection and then ramp up the anticipation till I'm as anxious as the characters, well that's when I'm the happiest. The sexual tension nearly blew up my kindle.
The ending had me with my mouth hanging open and I just can't wait for the next installment. I adore this author and am so excited about this series and how far and how deep these two are going to fall.
