Captured in Belize
Tess Martin has it all – a successful career, a chic apartment, and a handsome boyfriend who’s about to pop the question. But not everything is as it seems and when her plans for a wedding proposal go wrong, she decides to take a wild leap and fly solo to Belize.
She expects to find some fun and adventure in the Caribbean paradise. What she didn’t expect was to run into her ex, Roger, and his new girlfriend booked at the same resort. And what she certainly didn’t expect was to cross paths with a cocky, irresistible local, Anthony, who stirs both her frustration and her desire.
As she sets out to ruin her ex’s plans, Tess unwittingly stumbles onto a sticky situation landing herself in the middle of the Belizean cartel. Now, she’s in way over her head and finds herself relying on the one man that both ignites her fury and turns her world upside down. Caught between the urge to kiss him and the temptation to slap him, Tess grapples with her conflicting emotions. But can she trust him with her life—and her heart? Or is he hiding a secret that could ruin everything?

Such a fun book to read! Tess is a fun character. I really liked being “inside her head”. The book has great descriptions that allow for vivid visual images sometimes to the point where you want to say. Tess…nooooo” like you do when you’re watching a movie.

Tess is on the lookout for a decent guy, and it was so much fun following her escapades through Belize. I read the book straight through, one adventure after another.
Really fun read!
