Reviews for Captured on Kauai
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good story. I liked the mix of suspense and romance. The book opens with the scene-setting death of an undercover DEA agent investigating drug trafficking on the island paradise of Kauai. This is followed by Dex and his fellow law enforcement officers setting up as more undercover agents to investigate her death and whether the resort and its owner are involved. Dex and his K-9, Barnabas, pose as a PI moonlighting as a piano player at the resort. Widow Katrina works hard to keep her resort going after her husband's death. She's drawn to her new piano player but isn't sure if she's ready to do anything about it. When she receives a mysterious and vaguely threatening note, she hires PI Dex to investigate it. When she gets a second note claiming that he isn't who he says he is, Katrina wonders if she can trust him. I enjoyed seeing the development of the relationship between Dex and Katrina. The sparks between them are evident from the start, but Dex is there to do a job, not get involved with a possible suspect. Fortunately, he is quickly convinced of her innocence and can confide in her about his identity. As they spend time together looking for the truth behind her husband's death and that of the DEA agent, their attraction continues to grow. I liked how they found they had much in common and enjoyed spending time together outside the investigation. But Katrina is rooted to her lodge, and Dex travels a lot in his work for the DEA. Is it possible to have a successful relationship under those conditions? When Katrina's life is in danger, both realize that being together is what's important. I loved the ending and seeing how they overcame the obstacles. The suspense of the story was good. I liked following the investigators as they tracked leads and tried to connect the dots. The threats against Katrina kept her and Dex on edge, while hints of her husband's actions led to other revelations. The intensity increased as they closed in on the ringleaders. The final confrontation was a nail-biter with a twist Katrina didn't see coming. I loved seeing her strength as she stood up against her captor. The resolution was good, and the epilogue was a great wrap-up.
