Summer is back again and it's way. too. HOT. Wouldn't it be exciting, not to mention nice and cool, to enjoy an Alaskan cruise? While going undercover? In hopes of rescuing a friend that has mysteriously disappeared? (as in she may have been thrown overboard??!)
Stranded is just the ticket.
I was an employee on this cruise, with my life in danger, a few hot guys ever willing to help (were they flirting or keeping an eye on me??) while I kayaked, camped and searched for clues. I even discovered a dead body at one point and almost drowned. And that was just the beginning. Employees thought I asked too many questions but I had to find answers before it was too late. My main problem was I just didn't know who I could trust...
While I desperately searched for my friend, Abby, I discovered that she wasn't the only young woman to have disappeared.
There had been others.
Many others.
I did this all without breaking a sweat. While in my favorite chair, cozy in my jammies. ;) I will admit that my heart raced and I even held my breathe a few times. That, my friends, is a sign of a great story. I almost felt like I was on the cruise ship in Alaska, in danger, running for my life. Those moments spent in the arms of my own hero were not too hard to take, though. My heart raced then, too, but in a really niiicccceee way. ;)
I lived vicariously through Darcy St. James and Gage McKenna. The attraction between these two makes the pages almost sizzle! Darcy is a spunky heroine with sheer determination and heart, although her fear of drowning places her in harm's way more than once. Gage McKenna appears almost too flawless in a worldly way (easy on the eyes and fearless) but we learn that he's quite broken inside. Perfectly imperfect, I rooted for these two ever since I met them in Shattered!
Stranded is a clever combination of mystery/romance/God tied up with a bow. Dani Pettrey delivers the message of salvation in the midst of chaos and heartache- when most people need it the most. I loved how the adventure was a true adrenaline rush and the heart of the book was God's love.
Stranded. A Pure Adrenaline Rush that Sizzles!
