THIS BOAT ROCKS…
About Sail Away With Me:
Before
Jody Carter and her three best friends ever set foot aboard the luxury cruise
ship, Jody falls into the arms of uber hunky celebrity guest Taggart Keith,
when he saves her shoe from falling to the depths of the sea. Their attraction
is undeniable, but the recently divorced single mom knows the last thing she
needs is to complicate her life in just seven short days. But that’s exactly
what happens when Jody takes a chance — for once in her life— and gives into a
week of sensational pleasure. Taggart helps
her discover her more sensual side — one tantalizing night at a time.

Excerpt:
“Hey there, Jody,” he called out.
“Oh, hi....Taggart,” she said with surprise, pretending she hadn’t
seen him.
“We really have to stop meeting like this.” He smiled and walked
towards her down the narrow hall dotted with luggage.
She laughed nervously at the cliché that was proving all too true if
she was to keep her sanity. “I guess so. Well, this is my room.” She fidgeted
with her keycard as he came up beside her.
“Mine’s just down the hall.” Taggart pointed behind him, but he just
stood there, his tall frame close to her. She looked up at him, overly aware of
the scent of sandalwood, one of her favorites. Very masculine.
“Mmm...coincidence,” she said, the hallway becoming smaller by the
minute when he flashed that boyish smile, with one corner of his mouth raised.
Cocky, but undeniably sexy at the same time.
Unable to break the gaze, she tried to insert the keycard into the
lock, not paying attention to what she was doing. The card grazed the slot and
she forced her eyes away from his.
“I guess you didn’t find your friends after all?” he inquired, leaning
casually against the wall, as she slid the keycard all the way in the lock.
Caught red handed at her own lie, she smiled down at her shoes. “No, I
didn’t.”
“So you can have that drink with me after all,” he stated flatly,
placing his hand over hers as she held the key in the lock.
Her heart pounded in her chest. She couldn’t move a muscle. “I don’t
think that’s a good idea,” she said.
He frowned but left his hand on hers. “Because?”
Because? Her mind raced. She couldn’t tell him it was because she was
afraid. Afraid how her body trembled when he was near, how her cheeks burned
and her sex thrummed.
“I’ll wait,” he said with a devilish grin eyeing the keycard still in the
lock.
“I really don’t think it’s a good idea, is all.”
“You already said that,” he said straight-faced, but she could see the
playful look in his eyes. As he removed his hand, he continued to lean easily
on the doorframe, his face close to hers as if he had all the time in the world
to wait for her to be ready. He was close enough she could see the barely
visible laugh lines when he smiled and the slight five o’clock shadow on his
chiseled jaw.
“Look Taggart,” she said, just saying his name made her heart beat
faster. “I’m not ready for...” her heart beat rapidly thinking about just what
she wasn’t ready for....to be intimate with a man.
“Ready for what?” he teased. A flush of desire rushed through her. He
was playing with her, flirting with her.
She took her key out of the lock and looked up at him trying her best
to hang on to some semblance of control. “Whatever it is, I’m not ready.”
“Fair enough,” he said, completely unarming her with his
understanding.
“Really?” she asked, almost disappointed he gave in so easily.
“Really,” he said, imitating her.
He
was so fucking sexy she was going to melt right there in the
hall. “Well in that case, maybe I’ll have that drink with you, but it
better be a quick one, the girls will wonder where I am.”
“Good,” he said slowly, and leaned towards her, his body inches away,
her heart pounding and her body humming with anticipation. He was so close she
could feel the heat from his skin, the pulse of his heartbeat.
Her lips met his, at first tentatively, as if unsure of herself. His
hot mouth was inviting as she kissed him again, this time parting her lips as
his arms wrapped around her waist, his tongue finding hers. Instinctively, she
reached one arm around his neck and pulled him to her, kissing him more
urgently. His stubble against her chin made her melt when he grasped her
tighter and kissed her back. Hard and hungry. Her body quivered as she pressed
against him, their mouths exploring one another.
Lost in the moment, her mind swirling and her body electric, she ran
her hands along his broad back, her breasts squashed against his muscled chest,
his hands running along her body. It felt so good. He smelled so good, tasted
so good, it had been forever since she’d felt this way. So...so...so fucking
turned on. Demanding and capable, his hands roamed wantonly over her hips and
then cupped her ass.

My Review: 4 1/2 stars
What an awesome read! This book was set half on the Cruise, and half in Jody's little town. I thought it was pretty awesome that Taggart would go to the effort of trying to make their relationship work, even though it was supposed to be a shipboard thing. Both Jody and Taggart knew it could be something more. They just needed to have the will to overcome the obstacles in their way and move forward. I loved how Taggart was with Jody's son; open and honest. That's the way to be wtih anyone, in my opinion. Great characters in this book, all the way around. I loved that the storyline moved forward at a steady pace and kept things interesting. You never knew what was going to happen, and I liked that. Thanks Kate, great job with this book. I'm going to have to see if Kate's written any more books, and check them out. A few more book on the to-be-read shelf won't hurt me.
