"Amusing "pirate" romantic suspense thriller"
Her sixteen year old daughter Tara believes her single mom
Amy Stewart needs some recreational time as she is always
working. She persuades her mother to play the virtual
reality game Buckling Swashes created by a local
resident. To shut up her nagging teen, Amy agrees to try
the game. To her surprise Amy as Earless Erika is quite
good at the game. Soon she and blood thirsty pirate Black
Corbin must meet on the virtual seven seas as both have
become "locked" inside the game. Amy expects to defeat
her foe as she has already bested him with swords, but
deep inside she hates war and worse is attracted to her
deadly foe. Corbin Monroe is stunned how good his opponent is as he
was the best player in the game he created until Earless
Erika arrived on the scene and defeated him. However,
someone is trying to destroy Corbin on the real plane as
well as on the virtual game. Corbin believes he needs to
persuade Amy that they must team up if they are to
identify and stop the swashbuckling villain who
has "trapped" them in virtual reality. Besides that he
must convince the new champion that they belong together
in the real world too. BLOW ME DOWN is an amusing "pirate" romantic suspense
thriller starring a swashbuckling financial accountant and
the most dangerous computer programmer on the high seas.
The story line is fast-paced whether it occurs in virtual
reality or in the not so mundane realm (the heroine seems
right that sex is better in the latter). Fans will
appreciate this fine tale while wondering if love found
over the web can be the real thing. Harriet Klausner

SummaryTHIS GAME GIRL HAS WREAKED HAVOC ON THE HIGH
SEAS—BUT THE TIDE IS ABOUT TO TURN...
In the Internet virtual reality game Buckling Swashes,
Earless Erika and Black Corbin are two of the most deadly
pirates to sail the online seas. And now they've met their
matches: each other.
But fearless Earless Erika is really just Amy—a
financial analyst with little time in her life for anything
but work. And Corbin is none other than the man behind the
game—the programmer and owner of the company. He's
intrigued by Amy, the only buccaneer to best him in this
test of digital testosterone, while she just wants to take
his arrogance down a peg. But soon the two find themselves
comrades in arms against a merciless rival bent on Corbin's
destruction—both on the virtual high seas and in real
life. Only by setting aside their differences can they
locate the actual people behind the swaggering
swashbucklers—and along the way find that love can tame
even the most fearsome of pirates.
Shiver me timbers...
