While the sex was good and steamy the developing romance was the major thrust of the book. It was actually pretty sweet.
He and the heroine had this lovely bantering going on but I think what I liked most was the way he really paid attention to her, tried to figure her out and be respectful of what she wanted. He was very attentive and wooing her carefully because she w I actually thought this book was going to be really raunchy from the title.
He was very attentive and wooing her carefully because she was skittish and stand-offish and the reasons were given in the book and he's really good at it and finally she succumbs and then phwoar! I found them both believable people, three dimensional and great together and as she really started to blossom with him I was very charmed by the whole process.
I thought probably there could have been a bit more towards the end of the book, where they were just so lovely together and it was all sorted out but I suppose everything has to come to an end eventually. There were also some great characters introduced the hero's siblings who sounded interesting but there doesn't seem to be a series going on with them or anything so I'd be happy to read one if there was.
We didn't really get to spend enough time with them. I like this author. I'm going to put her on my list of preferred authors. Aug 11, Violet Gregory rated it liked it. This was a nice light hearted romance, and I liked it because it was set in my home country of New Zealand, but I like some of Amelia Hart's other books better.

And the children of course. Shrieking and chasing and scrambling after one another with an energy that defied adult understanding; or sticky with salt and the iceblocks they had eaten, collapsed on their parents, whining they wanted to go home; or playing in the water, slashing it up in arcs and rooster tails, kicking and churning and bouncing around. Breasting the waves and shouting at each other. Sometimes she fantasized about borrowing one of them.
One that no one would miss. One that needed a home and love and home-baked biscuits and cuddles and stories and bonfires with marshmallows and night time adventures in the garden with flashlights and. Tears undid her completely. We had a lot of fun. She showed me the praying mantises and cicadas in the garden and I showed her how to fold paper hats and paper boats and.
It was always a little worse in the holidays. Though even then there were still the solitary evenings at the end of the long days. Oh, she filled the time with friends or music or both, hosted barbecues and potluck dinners, worked hard in the garden or cleaned or made crafty things or painted or. Sometimes it made her cry; Purposeless tears that did nobody any good, and made it hard to drift off to sleep once her head and throat hurt and her nose was all stuffed up. She picked up a handful of scorching sand in a clenched fist, feeling the hard ball of it hollow out and give way as she let it trickle out again.
She dribbled it over her shin so it ran down to pile up around her toes, then lifted her head to squint out at the water. After a moment she fixated on five people standing in the shallows, surfboards held firmly under their arms. Two women and three men, each with that classic well-honed look of lean muscle. Surfers, all their fat stripped away by hour upon hour of paddling. Two of them — a man and a woman — turned back to the water to wade out again, while the other three walked slowly up the beach. They were almost vibrating with good health, even when weary, their skin tanned and hair slicked back against their skulls.
With the sun shining so brightly on the sea and sand behind them, they were little more than dark silhouettes, gradually increasing in size as they approached. After a while they were close enough that the wind carried their voices to where she sat. These days I can only go a few hours before I run out. He had a good voice, strong and lilting a little. She had a thing for voices, for the spoken word, for language in general, and accents were interesting. She wanted to angle her head a little to stare at him and watch him shape the words, but that would have made it clear she was listening in.
See a Problem?
Then the American said: There was silence for several minutes. The breeze stirred the fine white grains of sand around her half-buried toes. She listened for a hint that the tall American was still standing close behind her, a peculiar awareness crawling down her spine, so that she had to control an atavistic shiver. With the sun shining full on his face she could see him perfectly now and good heavens, it was indecent a man should look like that in real life; like one of those surfing posters in motion.
He had high, moulded cheekbones, a straight nose and firm jaw, and eyes of such a clear, piercing blue that she could see the colour even from where she sat. Her gaze flicked quickly, involuntarily over the broad shoulders and narrow waist within his wetsuit, and came to rest on his left wrist. She resumed breathing as her eyes narrowed and leapt back to his face. His lips parted in an easy grin to reveal perfectly straight white teeth.
Her frustration, her annoyance at the world in general and herself in particular, all came rushing back to her, this time with a target.

She gritted her teeth and bared them at him in what could possibly have been interpreted as a smile. Damned good-looking, arrogant, pick-out-a-gullible-local-for-a-summertime-fling tourists. As if she was going to fall for that crap ever again.
She sent him an icy glare, watched his eyebrows lift as if he were surprised — Hah! Used to getting your way with every stupid victim of your good looks, you casual bastard — and gave him a cold shoulder for good measure. There was a pause in which she tried not to listen for the shush of retreating footsteps in the sand.
Perhaps he had already left? That was a dumb conversation-starter. It was obviously a textbook, hardly something to generate a relaxed chat.
An Improper Seduction by Suzanne Quill
But while she thought that, her brain answered on autopilot as it sometimes did. And got it wrong, as it sometimes did: Which was an appropriately amusing response to give one of her close friends who knew how unlikely that was.

Totally inappropriate in a context that included her haughty expression. How could he possibly hear that title and not interpret it as a welcome?
Now there was no controlling the warm tide of pink blush that heated her skin. She drew both knees and the book close to her chest like armour, folds of the sarong wrapped around her shoulders getting caught up between the two, and glared out from under her big hat. That was a much sounder tactic. Thank you brain for delivering the goods this time. He cocked his head to one side and smiled crookedly at her at her, his good cheer unabated.
With such fair skin you should take care. The proximity of his large, intensely masculine body set her on an edge of nervous awareness.
An Improper Seduction
At five foot ten she was not used to being made to feel small, but now he was so close his sheer size made an impression. With an effort of will she kept her gaze from scanning his body again. It would be just the reaction he was waiting for.
