Another of Christina Skye's Draycott Abbey books, this story is so overstuffed with plot, plot, and more plot that I found myself constantly scratching my head trying to remember it all.

Before I begin, I would like to say that Christina Skye has all the ingredients and style of a great writer.
Although, there were moments of peace (I wouldnt it call it loving, it was too violent) it soon became a battle and I mean it literally.

Neither has the time or patience for the other's drama, but they are thrown together time and again in the genre's usual fashion—chasing the bad guys through the fog and rain of Washington State's Olympic Peninsula, easing sexual tension in a stalled hotel elevator and tracking down the lab animal, an adorable koala bear.
The pace is frenzied at times, and the characters lack depth (all of Skye's navy SEALS are "poster boys for commando work," and her heroine is a typical beauty with tough-girl feistiness).
Skye is unsurpassed at combining adventure and romance, but readers may want to read the companion novel first to know the twins' background.

 Suspense Romance Writers: Book Review
Reviewer Comments: Christina Skye's lightweight caper of a romance follows the uninspired line of damsel-in-distress-and-Navy-SEALs-comes-to the-rescue that has flooded the genre.
Taylor O'Toole, a suspense writer has become the victim of many sabotages including a mountaineering accident and a hostage-taking in a convenience store ever since she helps her friend Candace to stalk her love-interest Harris Rain.
The relentless chase, along with Taylor's abrupt knowledge of herself being adopted as well as her refusal to be ordered about by Jack hardly leaves any room for character development.
