Attorney Kimber Karlton's life was stressful, but the good side was her long-time boyfriend, who was going to propose to her on their vacation. After Kimber misses her plane she's stuck taking a series of flights to met up with Finn Meyers, who would then transport her to her own romantic getaway with her boyfriend. Being with Finn Kimber realizes what her life is really like and what she wants her life to be like. After experiencing a night of passion with Finn, Kimber is still determined to make her vacation and snag her proposal. But once on the island whom will she choose?
The story had a great plot and cast of characters. For a short read it's hard to capture the magic between the characters, but Ms. Bond did an exceptional job with Finn and Kimber. The only thing I was appalled by was the fact that Kimber was in a relationship yet she had sex with another man, in my mind that's cheating. But as you read you realize that Kimber wasn't attached to her boyfriend and she really didn't love him, he was another attorney who understood her lifestyle. With that respect it's a matter of personal opinion and taste. But believe me it doesn't take away from the story.

Liz Talbot left her life, her cheating husband, and her career behind to move to St. Lucia where she tends bar. Jack Beaumont shows up in St. Lucia, the two knew each other, ran in the same circles, and Liz's heart still raced at the sight of him. But she was determined not to get involved with a businessman who would want her to leave her beautiful island. And really she wasn't ready to get in a relationship with anyone. Jack is throwing a party and asks Liz to accompany him, Liz believes Jack wants her to be the waiter of the party. To her surprise Jack wants her to be on his arm for the evening.
Out of all three books this one was my favorite. I loved the characters and how Ms. Kelly portrayed their strengths and weaknesses. They belong together and are easy to see that as you read Liz and Jack's story. The scenery is beautiful and very vivid through the reader's eyes. It's a story that will keep you reading for more and sad when it does end.

Macy Gatwick is an investigative journalist who will push the limits to get the story. Her current mission: she wants Armando Cutler—just for a story. She is certain he is behind what will be a juicy expose about the corporate wunderkind's exile o Costa Rica. But she never thought she would lose her heart to him.
This was a great story! Lori Wilde is one of my all-time favorite authors. I have been a fan since I snuck and read my mom's copy of A Touch of Silk. She knows how to write steamy scenes, characters that make you pant for more and a compelling plot with all the right twists and turns. With Ms. Wilde you never know what to expect next. She's an author you must have included on your "Author's to Watch" list. SAND, SUN...SEDUCTION! is a book you must add to your "009 Summer Reading" list.
