Who needs Steve McGarrett and Danno when you can immerse
yourself in Jennifer Akihara and Lee Brandt? Hawaii 5-0 has nothing on this fast-paced
and exciting story. I was so invested in
the action from the get-go that I didn't even realize, until I stopped to take
a breath, that I loved the characters as well.
Moon Over Maalaea Bay, the third installment in a series called Pure Genius,
stands quite well on its own. Barely nine
hours into their marriage, and before the honeymoon even begins, Jennifer is
kidnapped by an international trafficking group. She'd thwarted their operation
earlier and they are bent on revenge. Add in Lee's struggle to find her, the
FBI, the Maui Police Department, ruthless criminals and a stunning Hawaiian
backdrop. This intense thriller, with a touch of romance, tugged at my
heartstrings and rose my blood pressure.
Highly Recommended.
