Book Review: Lola Carlyle Reveals All by Rachel Gibson

Lola Carlyle Reveals All by Rachel Gibson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was a pleasant surprise!  I was expecting it to be more of a 'fluff' or 'ditzy chick' type of book, but it actually had a very good story line!  I enjoyed the action-adventure aspect of the story, the fact that a lot of the setting was based in the Caribbean on a yacht, and the icing on the cake (so to speak) was the main male character, Max Zamora.

Book description from Amazon.com:
"When ex-supermoddel Lola Carlyle learns that some very -- ahem -- private photos of herself are being peddled on the Internet, she hides out where there's sun and -- she thinks -- safety, until the gossip dies out. Then the private yacht she's blissfully napping on is "commandeered" by some man who says his name is Max Zamora, and that he works for the government.

It sounds crazy, but Max is telling the truth -- his cover's been blown, he's on the run, and now he's confronted by a very angry -- and beautiful -- woman. He's seen Lola before -- barely clothed on covers of fashion magazines. But she's more beautiful in person. From the top of her pert blonde head to the tips of her little painted toes, Max finds her sexy, curvy... and a pain in the butt. And that's before she blows up the ship!

Now, the unlikely pair is stranded in the middle of the ocean, it's getting very hot -- not just from the sun -- and Lola is about to reveal it all..."
