"Can a vacation fling lead to a lifetime of love?"

Travel agency owner Taylor DeWitt has worked long and hard to make her business a success. Now, she's looking forward to combining business with pleasure as she prepares to tour Caribbean resorts for potential locations to send clients. The last week of her trip is her time. Time to let down her hair and maybe have a long-overdue vacation fling. Unfortunately, the first man she sees at the Mexican resort is a disgruntled client.

Dev Carson couldn't believe his luck. Taylor's travel agency had refused to refund his money when he went to cancel his honeymoon trip. After all, if the wedding was off, the trip should be too, right? After three weeks in paradise, Dev has definitely mellowed out. Maybe he should have a vacation fling in his last week before returning to the real world. And Dev had just the woman in mind -- Taylor.

Taylor and Dev are inseparable during their week-long affair. Dev encourages Taylor to reclaim her wild side, a part of herself she's been suppressing for years. But can they both go back to their old lives when the week is up? Fate has other plans for this couple when they return to Baltimore. Will Dev be able to convince Taylor to give their relationship a chance? Or will her insecurities from her previous marriage keep her from enjoying life to the fullest?

Ms. Hardy describes Cozumel so vividly, this reader almost feels as if she is there. I enjoyed the lush landscape and beautiful beaches. I could almost smell the scent of seawater. Dev and Taylor are blazing hot in SLIPPERY WHEN WET. I wish the ending had been a little more drawn out, but otherwise I found this novel engaging and easy to read. If you haven't read a Blaze series romance lately, give this one a try!
