I've read a couple of the books in this series and have to admit that this wasn't one of my favorites. The scenario and locale sounded good in theory, but the chemistry just wasn't there. The hero was terrific - great guy, capable, and caring, but the heroine was very difficult to like through most of the book. She was either abrasive and annoying, or just on the cusp of being likeable..then she'd go back to annoying again. This went on until the very end...when she finally got a clue just in time for the HEA moment. One thing did make me laugh though was on page 134 - the sentence: "She opened her mouth and vacuumed up his lower lip...". Vacuumed?! I can't help but remember the last time I vacuumed up a sock. So she's an abrasive and unlikeable woman with a vacuum cleaner for a mouth! That one's going to have me snickering for a good long while.

Held my interest and was believable even though the events were bizarre. Good dialogue and lots of humor.

This is a great book with many twists and turns. The ending is rather surprising.

Bullet Catcher Wade Cordell has been sent to the Caribbean to track down a woman who was adopted at birth. Her birth mother is in prison for murder and needs a bone marrow transplant. There is reason to believe she was set up and didn't commit the murder in which she was convicted. Vanessa Porter knows who her mother is and has no plans to help her. She's too busy anyway. Her best friend, Clive Easterbrook, has left his job and is hiding in the islands. She wants to bring him back to New York but can't find him. Vanessa makes a deal with Wade...if he helps her find Clive, she'll return to South Carolina with him. But someone wants to stop her from finding Clive, someone who will kill to stop her.
This is the second book in the Sapphire Trail babies mini-trilogy which is part of the Bullet Catchers series. We have two plots in this book. The first is finding out where Clive is and what exactly he is hiding from. The other overall plot of the trilogy is who killed Wanda Sloane and set up Eileen Stafford to take the fall. I liked this book better than the last one, but there was still something off about it that I couldn't put my finger on. Maybe it was the pacing. I'm hoping the third book will bring a good conclusion to the mini-series. My rating: 4 Stars.
