Search - Arafura Pirate (Harlequin Romance, No 3025)

quick read good for the beach

Not an avid fan of romance novels, I first read this author out of curiousity as I read that "Victoria Gordon" is a man writing under that name, and I wondered how it would differ from the few romances I'd read by women writers.
It's quite good. The setting is interesting and different as it takes place in Australia. A group is hunting sharks to tag them for research. There are mild love scenes but no purple prose. The heroine is likeable and so is her love interest.

Studying shark life on the rough seas north of Australia kept Jinx busy enough. She definitely didn't need the unnerving distraction of a human predator like roguish Captain Morgan!
