Amazon.com ReviewGorgeous Lola Carlyle is a woman who has overcome immense obstacles. Once a wildly successful swimsuit model, she's conquered the bulimia that kept her ultra-thin, gained enough weight to make her voluptuous, and walked away from modeling to start a successful lingerie business. None of her grit and guts, however, has prepared her for dealing with undercover agent Max Zamora. When he steals the yacht she's sleeping on in the Bahamas and heads for Florida, chased by drug runners who have beaten him badly, Lola's determined to escape. Unfortunately, her efforts disable the boat and the two of them are stuck on the drifting yacht. Max recognizes Lola's famous face and body immediately, but dealing with the furious woman tests his patience. It isn't until they're both nearly killed that the attraction between them blazes out of control. But if they can manage to stay alive and return to the States, is there any hope for a future between a man who thrives on danger and a woman who craves a settled life?Author Rachel Gibson has a talent for creating characters who step off the page and into readers' hearts. She uses that gift to advantage in this latest novel with its bigger-than-life characters, hair-raising action, and searing heat between hero and heroine. Don't miss this one. --Lois Faye DyerFrom Publishers WeeklyLola Carlyle Reveals All in this funny but formulaic contemporary romance between Max Zamora, a covert government operative, and Lola Carlyle, a ditzy blond bombshell and former underwear model. The sexual attraction between this unlikely duo burns brighter than the novel's sunny, tropical setting when they are stranded together on a yacht and then on a deserted island, with Lola's annoying, pint-sized pup providing the only entertainment. While hiding out from a handful of dangerous, drug-ring thugs, their attraction comes to a head, but will it persist once their island adventure is over? Rachel Gibson's (True Confessions) heroine is little more than a walking cliche, but her hard-bitten hero and edgy prose carry the story.Product Details Mass Market Paperback: 384 pages Publisher: Avon (April 2, 2002) Language: English ISBN-10: 0380814390 ISBN-13: 978-0380814398 Product Dimensions: 6.9 x 4.4 x 1.1 inches
