review 1: Island Peril was a fast, fun, flirty novella that could be read at any time during the Aftershock series. It is a good introduction to the talents of Jill Sorenson, who weaves a good story. It is also a glimpse into the characters that inhabit the series but it doesn't spoil anything for the reader. The characters are strong, the dialogue quick, the settings beautifully detailed for a novella, and the story well plotted and fast paced. I have read the rest of the series and this story is one that adds to the overall series arc.*I received mu copy from NetGalley.com in exchange for an honest review.
review 2: The heroines in this books is Ella Hammond, (Her sister Abby is the heroine of Aftershock 4 -- Backwoods), who survived the Great San Diego earthquake, cen... moretral to the first Aftershock novel. The novels in this series are not closely interconnected so it is possible to enjoy without having read previous books. One thing all the Aftershock novels I've read so far have in common is how much I really love the heroines, who are realistically strong and determined without having to be perfect in every way.In Island Peril, Ella a geologist, has joined her sister Abby and Abby’s daughter Brooke for a kayaking tour of San Miguel island when Abby’s ex-husband’s backs out of a long planned father-daughter trip. Ella and Paul Dawson (their sea-kayaking tour guide) end up separated from Abby and Brooke and stranded on San Miguel.Island Peril is a novella and it really delivers a breezy action packed story. Paul and Ella are really likable characters without deep emotional damage that move from flirting to bonding as they try to hide from drug dealers after they accidentally interfere with a drug drop.What I liked:Paul loved his previous girlfriend, who stood by him after the death of his parents in the San Diego Quake. Their relationship didn't endure but he is not an emotionally stunted hero afraid to own his feelings, he is just starting to want to date again. He finds Ella’s incredibly sexy, and is not threatened by her intelligence or dismissive of her geeky interests. They are both smart and ready to love and I totally believed in the HFN, because their story was about opening up to something new and seeing a future with someone.4.5 out 5 stars less
