But I digress. . .
As the only female guest, Maddie attracts a fair amount of attention. As a novice fisherman (or woman) she attracts even more. As a woman, she manages to ingratiate herself with the staff and find out more about her mystery morning swimmer.
The plot twists and turns and were hard to follow at times. I found I had to re-read sections due to my confusion, or having had to put the book down (we all have to sleep sometimes). There are a lot of layers to the characters and this adds to the plot (and sometimes to the confusion).
While the romantic scenes are fairly generic, Maddie’s adventure skinny dipping has everything you want from a heroine’s escapade. Her run-in with the “panty-remover” is also another excellent scene.
While this is not your “typical” romance novel, it is a great read for someone who likes a quirky story, plot twists and turns, or even those gentlemen around us who like a good read!
