Jae Sun Kim is an emotionless trauma surgeon who goes on a dive trip where he meets dive master Shane McCormack. Shane, a commitment-phobe, has flitted his way from one job to another after nine years of college. Like all polar opposites, they are attracted to each other. A vacation fling seems right to Kim, and since Shame is planning on moving onto the next job after this dive trip, he’s all for it too. Hotness ensues, much hotness. Often. I really enjoyed their story on the dive trip. And then it got so, so, so much better. And did I mention…hot.

Other notes:
1. This book has characters from Collision Course (Florida Books #2) in it, especially the second half, but it is definitely stand alone-able.

2. I loved the characters. Shane is so open and almost too honest about himself, but toward the end he fights to change. Kim is so closed off throughout the book, but when we finally found out his back story, I completely understood.

3. Read, read, read it.

I will wait until after the story synopsis to explain my grade of this book. Danika is a self reliant and independent woman. She just wants a man to be nice to her and not lose her heart to. Oh, and a man to give her an orgasm. Sam is the Bradford male. He’s a paramedic, good looking and a pleaser of the ladies in the bedroom. He overhears Danika and her sisters talking at a bar one night and decides, sight unseen, to be the man to help her, in the orgasm department. No ego here, he’s just that good.

There were some things about this story that I liked quite a bit. I like all the characters, the humor(that made me laugh out loud more than a few times),  and the build up was nice. It just took to long and my interest started to wane. And you need to have sex before being 67% into a book. I just can’t handle that.

I think part of my problem is that I read a novella earlier this year as a free read about his family that I loved. It was kind of a sequel to the series and it was hot. Ms. Nicholas’ stories aren’t bad stories just a little bit too much teasing for me.
