Two weeks at Seaport Manor posing as newlyweds will give department non-fraternization rules quite a workout. Living in close, romantic quarters will cause the lines between pretense and reality to merge rather quickly when sexual magnetism keeps drawing them together.As Blake and Ronnie fight mistakes of the past that overshadow the present, they find themselves irresistibly drawn together. The sensual resort with its romantic overtones provides the perfect background to this wickedly delicious read. Once again author Jamie Denton displays her sensually masterful storytelling skills. The novel reads like one, long, sexy tease of emotions and erotic possibilities, making the necessity of remaining under the covers absolutely delightful. While the ending feels a bit abrupt, the powerful characterizations and naughty sexual play will still leave the reader satisfied. Highly recommended.
