Leading a boring life as an employee of the local Shop-Mart
while hoping to some day use her training as a fashion
designer, Dorie Anderson dreams of being with sexy Matthew
McConaughey on a deserted island with double chocolate chip
cookies. Life changes quickly when she receives a message
to retrieve her "prize." Dorie is ecstatic that she's
earned a free trip to Fiji on an exclusive sailing yacht
and envisions starry skies, romance and hot, hot sex (which
she hasn't had in two years!).
All caution thrown to the wind, Dorie packs her bags and
splits for paradise. But total disaster seems to follow
Dorie wherever she goes. Upon boarding, Dorie's tongue
swells and she has trouble speaking with the hunk who's
helping her. All sexy, good-looking men cause this
reaction. Not known for her natural grace, Dorie's grand
entrance ends her on her butt with her dress around her
head while trying to walk up the ramp. With embarrassment,
Dorie meets the rest of the crew: Denny, Bobby and Ethan.
Not only has she twisted her ankle in the fall, but she
ends up with a splinter in her behind. Needing to be
treated by the ship's doctor, Christian, she finds him a
gorgeous, but grumpy, Frenchman and refuses to tell him
about the splinter.
Also on the cruise is Andy, a baseball star, and two other
women, Brandy and Cadence, who are also dreaming of
romance, sex and lying on a beautiful tropical beach.
Little do they know that a sudden storm is developing that
will disable their ship to the point of navigation being
impossible. During the storm, Dorie thinks she witnesses a
man being thrown overboard. Later, Christian and Dorie find
blood covering Bobby's cabin, but no Bobby. Eventually, an
island is spotted and they're able to make it to shore.
While trying to survive on the island, Christian and Dorie
engage in hot, startling sex. Because her tongue doesn't
swell when around Christian, Dorie finally concludes that
it's because he means too much to her.
They are eventually rescued by the famous writer/producer
who owns the island and takes them to his mansion on the
other side of the island. While waiting for someone to take
them off the island, more things go terribly wrong. Will
Christian and Dorie survive to ever begin a life together?
Dorie is a terrific, spirited character. The hot, sizzling
sex is well-written and in good taste. By reading every
word can you best enjoy the witty and refreshing humor. I
certainly did and hope to read more by this author.
When Dorie Anderson meets a cute guy, she becomes a huge
klutz. But one phone call has turned her dead-end dating
life into an adventure: she's won a trip on a singles'
cruise to Fiji. On board, she soon meets pro baseball
player Andy, and the ship's hunky French doctor. She's
sure she'll fall head-over-heels in no time.
Unfortunately, she's right: soon, she trips over her
luggage right in front of them. Mortifying. But a bigger
disaster is just on the horizon. Dorie finds a man
murdered in his bunk the same night a storm wrecks the
ship, stranding everyone on a deserted shore. It'd be a
perfect setting for romance-if it weren't for the fact
that there's a killer among them.
