Silhouette Intimate Moments #339: Iguana Bay

I had the pleasure of reading "Last Summer" by this author and went on to buy up her entire back list. She is an excellent author, has a wonderful pacing to her books, and has an ability to make "common" story lines fresh and exciting. I keep on wondering why she never made it as big as other authors have...it's certainly not her talent! Dylan Davis is a mess. He is a cop who's on administrative leave after one of the "bad guys" who was out to kill HIM mistakenly shot and killed Dylan's GIRLFRIEND. He feels responsible and has secluded himself on Iguana Bay to "heal". In actuality he's drinking himself to death. Dylan learns that the gunman who shot his girlfriend is up on murder charges for someone else, but has an alibi that he is keeping "safe" until the trial. Dylan decides that he needs to kidnap this alibi so that she won't be able to testify on behalf of this killer, and he will get the prison sentence that he deserves. Elise Ramsey is the alibi. Dylan kidnaps her and brings her to Iguana Bay to hold her captive until after the trial is over. This "bounty hunter" romance quickly morphs into a "cabin romance" as Elise's initial fear of Dylan turns to interest, attraction, lust, and finally love. I love Weir's ability with human emotion and dialogue. It is witty, sweet, and moving all at the same time. She is not to be missed and I have yet to read anything by her that was anything but entertaining and unforgettable!
