When April Linus’ best friends find themselves in trouble with the Miami Mafia, the former heiress turns to an even more dangerous criminal for help… her father.
Not an easy decision for the young, single mother who found herself pregnant at nineteen and forced to choose between her trust fund and having a baby. April’s father agrees to loan her the money, if she moves home for a few months so he can get to know his grandchild. Before she can decide what to do, she comes face to face with the last man she ever expected to see again… her father’s former bodyguard who disappeared five years ago after she slept with him.
Black Ops operative Jonas Ostergaard made a nearly fatal mistake the last time he was in Key West. After working his way into Philip Linus’ circle of trust, Jonas let the Arms Dealer’s beautiful, kindhearted daughter distract him from his mission. He was yanked off the job by his superiors, but now he’s back to stop Linus from selling a dangerous new technology on the black market.
Needing to prove himself to save his job, Jonas is determined to keep his distance from April this time. But when he suspects she knows more about her father’s illegal business dealings than she admits, he’s torn between protecting her and uncovering the truth.
Passion ignites when April and Jonas end up on the run dodging arms dealers in the steamy Amazon rainforest, but April wonders what kind of relationship she could have with a man who has more secrets than she does. A man who could disappear at any moment and leave her heart in tatters.
Trapped between loyalty to her father and a new allegiance with the man she’s falling in love with, April realizes none of it will matter if they don’t escape the jungle alive.
MY REVIEW
When Passion Punch opens, April is a pregnant teen who's just been cut off by her father, and is working to support her soon to come baby. She has yet to name her baby's father, but when the story resumes, we come to find out she's going to get a second chance with him, maybe...
If Jonas can take his head out of his ass and be the father and man April and Archie deserve. And if April's weapons dealing father doesn't get in the way of things.
I really liked Passion Punch. Like the first book, Rum Runner, Passion Punch is a rollicking adventure with a little bit of heat thrown in. I admit to wanting a lot better for April, because really I disliked Jonas, hence the 4 rather than the 5 stars it could have gotten. Aside from Jonas' wishy washy, back and forth bs, though, I liked everything else. April and her friends are awesome, as are Jonas' brothers, one (Jimmy) whom I met and loved in Rum Runner.
