Annie Parks is on a mission when she finds herself on a
cruise ship in the Pacific. She's spent a lot of time
tracking the man responsible for her mother's withdrawal
from the real world after he embezzled her fortune. For
Annie's troubles, she gets dumped overboard.
Police Chief Kane Travers is on an Internal Affairs
enforced "vacation" when he discovers a naked woman washed
up on the beach. When Annie wakes up and learns she's been
rescued by one of Kauai's finest, she's eager to move on
and continue her search. Kane's cop sense warns him that
this beauty claiming amnesia is hiding more than her
identity and sets out to discover her secrets. When their
pasts collide in an act of violence that threatens them
both, only by working together can they hope to save
themselves and others they care about.
YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY by HelenKay Dimon is an
entertaining read. Annie and Kane are combustible together,
unwillingly attracted to one another and battling the
ghosts from their pasts that may very well prevent a future
together. Their verbal sparring is witty. The author's love
of the Hawaiian Islands is apparent throughout. I felt the
villain was a bit of a caricature and his scenes a bit
contrived; he didn't particularly impress me, but the
ending was satisfying.
Annie Parks came to Hawaii to gather information and settle
a score, not spend time handcuffed to a sexy stranger's
bed. Okay, so this particular stranger saved her from
drowning after she was pitched overboard by some goons. And
he's about six feet of hard, Hawaiian muscle and gorgeous
cool that's making forgotten parts of her say, "A-lo-ha!"
She needs to stay focused, but a side dish of Kane Travers
is awfully tempting.
Kauai Police Chief Kane Travers is not a vacation kind of
guy. So it figures that when Internal Affairs suspended
him, he'd end up rescuing a sarcastic, dishonest, extremely
hot redhead who is clearly hiding something. Amnesia? Yeah,
right. Kane's got half a mind to give Miss Whoever She Is
something she'll never forget. His cop senses tell him that
the lady's in deep and needs his protection. But how can he
get her to tell him anything when all he wants is to take
her home and do everything?
