Story
Rafaella Holland, a Pulitzer Prize winner, now a journalist for the Boston Tribune, discovers from her comatose mother’s journals that her "real" father is Dominick Giovanni, a wealthy, very powerful arms dealer who lives and runs his operations from his own private island compound in the Caribbean. She wants revenge for what he did to her mother. She wants to gather enough proof to send him to prison for the rest of his miserable life. Marcus Devlin manages the resort on Giovanni’s Island, a private playground for the wealthy and powerful. He’s very good at what he does, but Rafaella wonders if he’s really what he seems.

Dr. Tess Court, one of the capital’s most successful psychiatrists, wants nothing to do with the case—until the police convince her to lend a hand to the lead investigator, legendary ladies’ man Detective Ben Paris.

False Interpretation
Would you try another book from Catherine Coulter and/or Renee Raudman and Paul Costanzo ?
I like the author's storyline, however, it was ruined by the rote, meaningless interpretation of feelings by Paul Costanzo. His reading did not give depth to the characters as an audio book should.
What did you like best about this story?
I expected the twist to have another twist, but it delivered a good ending anyways. In the end, good triumphs over evil.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The female role was executed well. The male role left MUCH to be desired.
Any additional comments?
While the story was very good, I personally don't need nor care for explicit details between the escapades of the characters. It really adds NOTHING to the story. A warning about such material in the synopsis would be helpful.

Good narration couldn't lift this dated story
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No. It's dated and the plot isn't interesting.
Have you listened to any of Renee Raudman and Paul Costanzo ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is my first by the duo. Paul was competent. He's not as good as other male narrators. Renee tended to get rather nasal. I don't mind trying another book by this duo, though.
What would have made this romance irresistible?
Nothing, really. It wasn't a good story and I doubt the best narrator could have changed that.

I Liked This story!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes
Any additional comments?
I wish the author focused more on the interaction and the developing relationship between the H/H rather than the other two males, although they were essential to the plot-line , the story felt rushed on the second half of the book. I feel that the h/h didn't really get too much time to interact with each other before they fell in love after the third time they met and talked. I felt the author just rushed the book with the last four chapters. I would have liked to hear more about the sub-plot with the relationship developing between Catherine and Rowe and their own HEA, that felt rushed too! But all in all I would listen to this story again!
