Romantic suspense story that begins when dolphin trainer Marissa's dolphin escapes into the ocean. The next time Marissa sees her dolphin, Kamiko, the dolphin is pushing ashore a dead body that has been murdered. Marissa and Kamiko go to hero Riley's island refuge, Dolphin Haven, in the Florida Keys. Once there, a series of accidents befall Marissa. Is the murderer now after Marissa and does Marissa know something about the murder that she is unaware of?

This book was a mixture of good and bad for me. I thought the suspense was very well done. The secondary characters were great with so many potential suspects as the possible murderer. I really liked the Florida Keys/Dolphin Haven setting. I had a vivid picture of it in my mind and it was something a little different for a suspense story setting. I especially loved Kamiko and the other dolphins, they were so adorable and so brave, and I loved anytime the dolphins were featured in the story.

The story was lacking for me when it came to the romance. I liked heroine Marissa, but didn't care for the hero, Riley. He was distant, remote, and aloof, and had his secrets. Instead of coming off as dangerous and mysterious, he came off more as dull, boring, and uninteresting. He seemed too passive and not very caring. I didn't really understand Marissa's interest in him besides the fact that he was handsome, and I never really felt any love between them. As a suspense story, this story was great; as a love story, not so much. ( )
