Description

Head of security on the South Sea Mermaid, Kai Walker, hates having drugs on his ship. But when travelers begin to overdose and he can’t find the source, Kai suspects everyone, including his absentee dinner partner, Pearl. He can’t work out if she’s a tempting distraction or an intentional diversion. He’s keen to keep his threats close, even if it means a planned seduction to catch her in the act.

 
US DEA Agent Pearl Hamilton is determined to focus on the assignment she's been set. No sexy-as-sin security officer on a bewitching south sea cruise is going to turn her head, regardless of how good he looks in a uniform. That is, until she discovers how much fun she can have with a pair of handcuffs and a stolen room key...

Holy smokes! Pacific Persuasion is a very hot, erotic romance novel. I was hoping for more of the cruise ship details and maybe an excursion or two. It is a short story so I was able to read it in one day.

This novella was a quick read that has slices, a tad of mystery, and takes place on a cruise ship! Given it’s a novella of moves pretty quick which is nice.

If you’re looking for a quick, spicy read then I recommend picking up Pacific Persuasion.

Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for this ARC.

I received an arc from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
A security officer on a cruise ship and the woman sent to solve a mystery collide and heat up the ship with their attraction to each other.
There is a threat so can they both stay alive to find out who is behind selling drugs and roughing up women?

What a heart warming story. Once again the story was exciting full of love and choices in life, I liked how they managed to overcome all the difficulties that surrounded them. Am glad it ended as it did.

Spice with some plot? Yes, I’m all for it. I really enjoyed the plot of this story for what there was. I’m not going to lie, I definitely was not expecting this book to be as short as it was which was a nice surprise! Super easy and fast read which I was able to finish in a day! Im excited to see the rest of what this series has to offer.

Thanks to NetGalley and Backlit PR for providing me with an electronic ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Steamy! I really enjoyed this fast paced read. Covered all the bases and wasn't long and drawn out. Really enjoyed the character progression and the twist that plot took. Thank you for the opportunity to read this early edition! Look forward to the rest in the series

Very quick read with a fun plot and fantastic characters.
I liked the setting and thought it added to the mystery/adventure aspect of the story.
The writing was solid too. I never felt it was over descriptive or boring.
A perfect beach/vacation read.

Another fast fun read from an author that is quickly becoming a favourite as the length of her books are perfect for when you want something fast 1-2 hours These books also attract me because of the Australian characters it is so rare to get books set in my own country

Kai Walker is the head of security is the head of security on a cruise ship and he is pretty certain that someone is smuggling drugs onto his ship going by the increase of overdoses on board His main suspect is a woman travelling alone Pearl Hamilton what he doesn't know is that she is in fact a USA DEA agent tracking the same drug runners as him. One he finds out who she is they work together while not really fighting the attraction between them (Think handcuffs)

The plot was good, but the concentration on steamy sex was a bit much. Not really sure how characters like these could do their jobs effectively when all they were doing was thinking of each other and not the contraband they were searching for! Disappointed because I have read better books from this author. I received an ARC from NetGalley and the opinions expressed are my own.

𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝘀: mistery, friends to lovers, quick to read

Kai is looking for the source of the drugs on the ship, but when he meets Pearl everything becomes a temptation for him and at times his job is forgotten. At the end there should have been a plot twist, but it seemed totally non-existent. I had more expectations from this book considering that the blurb attracted me a lot and the first two chapters seemed promising, but it wasn't like that.

It barely has a plot, but I really enjoyed the smut scenes.

Thank you NetGalley, The Wild Rose Press and Sofia Aves for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

A security officer and a DEA agent looking for the person or persons smuggling drugs and also having hot sex as well. The story was good as were the characters, this was a quick read.

A wild and steamy ride set on a cruise ship where the trip isn't exactly going according to plan.

Head of security on the South Sea Mermaid, Kai Walker, hates having drugs on his ship. Women are being drugged and attacked. But the mysterious new guest he spots could be involved. He plans to keep a close eye on her to see if he can catch her in the act. Until he ends up handcuffed by her.

US DEA Agent Pearl Hamilton is determined to focus on the assignment she's been set. Figure out where the drugs are coming from. But a good looking security guard is making her job very difficult. When they go head to head, sparks fly and they realize they are on the same side. Pearl and Kai team up but they can't ignore the attraction between them.

A solid, steamy read that was fast paced and had great romance. A great weekend beach read with lots of heat.

This book is a steamy read that takes place in Australia. The main characters have great chemistry. I enjoyed the aspect of the cruise ship. It made me want to go on a cruise even more than I already did!

Not a lot to say about this one, other than the fact that I did spread the word and share this title with my close friends whom I know would love this book with their whole heart.

I was intrigued, and it was a good read for me.

Thank you for the ARC!!
