Lucia Lorenzo lived together with Ryan Dandridge for a while, but due to miscommunication, she left him. This, Lucia thought, was left in the past, but when she drove to a condo complex to enjoy her large family’s reunion one night very late, little did she know that the bed she went in was also occupied by a man, who turned out to be none other than Ryan Dandridge.

Their rekindled romance, or rather sex life, went on despite her family’s hilarious antics and the loan shark who kept popping up and arguing with Lucia’s uncles and also with Ryan. When Lucia saw the loan shark dead on the beach, the mystery began. Then that dead body popped up here and there, only to be seen by Lucia.

Although the novel ended to satisfaction, the doubt and suspicion between the male and female lead added to their honesty and communication problems, and the love between them depending mainly on sex was irritating for me, as I expect a lot more from a romance. The mystery and the occasional comic relief, however, is quite enjoyable.

The setting of the story is good, and the writing in general and the use of the language are respectable.

Heather Graham Pozzessere is an American author of romance novels, including romantic suspense, historical romance, paranormal romance and gothics.

I neither recommend nor not recommend this book. It is enjoyable enough to pass time, if you have time to spare, but it lacks the depth that a serious writer would look for in another writer's work.
