Beauty can be deceiving. . . .
Tally Cruise has come to Paradise Island for a long-awaited reunion with the father she never knew. But when she arrives, he is nowhere to be found. Still, she is so thrilled by the seductive beauty of the island that she doesn’t see the danger that is boiling right below the surface—until a mysterious explosion nearly kills her. She is rescued by an enigmatic man whose intensity is as undeniable as his sex appeal . . . a mysterious stranger who is not what he seems.
Michael Wright is on Paradise to settle an old score with Tally’s father, the man responsible for the accident that ended his Navy SEAL career . . . and killed his best friend. But even though he hopes to use Tally to reach his target, Michael cannot deny the deep feelings she inspires within him, or the fact that her life is in serious danger. Paradise Island is a place full of hidden intrigue and peril, as deadly as it is beautiful, and Michael will need every skill he learned as a SEAL to ensure that he and Tally escape alive. . . .
IN TOO DEEP
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The third book in Adair's Wright brothers series (Hide and Seek,etc.) contains all the ingredients that made her previous books so popular a brooding alpha male on a mission, a damsel in distress, over-the-top villains and enough sex and suspense to make a Bond flick seem tame. Unlike the heroines of Adair's previous books, however, Tally Cruise is smart, resilient and gutsy. When the boat she is on explodes, Tally is rescued by Michael Wright, an ex-Navy SEAL posing as a sailing bum who is on a personal mission to destroy Tally's father, Trevor Church, the man responsible for ruining his Navy career and killing his best friend. Tally, meanwhile, hopes to be reunited with Trevor, whom she scarcely knows. Excited by her near death experience and Michael's intense sex appeal, Tally quickly falls into bed with him, but she comes to her senses the next morning and lays down a no-sex rule for the time they will spend together on Paradise Island, her father's hot and humid hideaway. While Michael plots his revenge, Tally single-handedly fends off several attackers in scenes that are as funny as they are suspenseful. Though Adair has a tendency to overdramatize lines like "Good girl, come into my lair" fall especially flat she leavens her story with humor, fast-paced action and a heroine who knows not to take life too seriously.
