review 1: Sexy, romantic suspense. Isabel Sanborn fled California to Mexico after waking up next to a dead man. Isabel's life up to that point had been drugs, sex and taking pinup pictures for magazines. She realizes that if she doesnt turn her life around and get off the drugs she will be caught by the Mexican drug lord who is after her for the death of his son. She thinks she has done a good job of hiding in the small town until a stranger takes notice and the cartel hitmen find her. Brandon who's a U.S. Marshall has finally found Isabel but he approaches her undercover to try and get her to come peacefully back to California with him. After thwarting the first attempt on her life the two end up having to go on the run together to avoid the cartel. Isabel was a interesting charact... moreer. We got see how she had grown from the spoiled rich party girl to being sober and trying to stay alive. I also really liked Brandon's character - he knew he was attracted to Isabel but he kept her at arms length knowing it would be wrong to cross that line and he loved being a U.S. Marshal. The author did a good job of showing how that kinda of life can take its toll as at one point Isabel had to admit she had never been with a guy without being totally wasted.
review 2: For some reason I could not get lost in the story. I picked it up and read for a bit and then did somethings and come back to the book a few different times. The story was fine.Isabella was on the run from US authorities and mexican drug cartel. She was rich party girl who spent to much time of drugs and drinks. She woke up one day with friend dead in bed. She realized her one pills were empty she could not remeber if she gave the pills to him or what. She took his bag of drugs and money and ran. Isabella had been on the run for two years.Brandon was a U.S. Marshall undercover to find her and bring her back. Because he could surf and she was known for surfing and written articles on surfing. When he found her on the beach she pulled a knife on him in fact she pulled a knife on him a couple of times.Maybe I did not like Isabella character not before when she was spoiled party girl or now when she was to ready to pull the knife.Brandon and Isabella are running around trying to stay ahead of bad guys while trying to get to different country. The bad guys catch up to them a few times.I was given this book in exchange for honest review. less
