Patty O’Donnell has been kidnapped by her cousin and old boss and has to cooperate in order to protect her daughter and husband. Patty is expected to help in a scam to bilk many unsuspecting people out of their money while scuba diving. While walking on the beach, Patty runs into a man that says he is there to help her and will stay close by until the time is right to get her safely back to her family. Patty isn’t sure she can trust this man but believes he is her best option at the time.

When someone tries to kill Patty, the scam is stopped in case someone is on to their plan. While the team breaks up to re-group later, the boat Patty is on is overtaken and she is delivered to a man whose image is far more dangerous than the man she wanted to escape from. Could this truly be the life Patty is destined to live, being hauled around like a slave from one owner to the next? Or is this the opportunity Patty has been looking for to escape?

This book was a great adventure with an exciting plot line that flowed very smooth and easy. The characters throughout this story were highly developed, detailed, and completely fascinating. I thought that the locations in Reef Runner were very descriptive and stunning. They had me wishing for a sandy beach and an exotic drink. I enjoyed this story immensely and thought that the author did a great job in conveying Patty’s strength and frustrations. This was the first Patty O’Donnell adventure that I have read and I truly cannot wait to go back and read each one in this series. I think that Reef Runner is a book not to be missed, so I’m giving it 5 angels and a Recommended Read.
