by J.D. FaverDescription:
Unable to escape her past, Chloe Palmer returns to the Texas coast for her murdered father’s funeral and to face Rafael Solis, the man she left behind. Rafael never gave up hoping for Chloe’s return. She inherits her father’s shrimp boat and irascible crew, enabling her to make a living. Rafael’s passion breaks down her emotional barriers, but her impetuous nature draws her into a cruel vortex where she runs afoul of old and new enemies. Previous rivalries emerge, pitting Rafael against the heir-apparent to a crime dynasty. With the body count rising, Rafael and Chloe battle an infatuated but vicious drug lord, kidnappers, and a twisted curandero (Mexican healer). Will they survive the violence and be able to forge a life together?
My Thoughts:
When Chloe comes back to town for her father's funeral, she and Rafael pick up where they left off. At first, I wasn't sure what to think of Chloe, but started to understand her more as her story came out. Rafael is such a sweet guy. He still loves her, even though she left him years ago. He is also investigating her father's murder. This is a sweet second-chance romance blended with murder and suspense. A fantastic combination.

Thanks so much for the great review. I really appreciate it. I have South Padre Island in my head and in my heart so the characters and scenes are flowing out my fingertips onto the keyboard. The sequel to Bad Medicine, Bad Karma, is available now and the third, Bad Vibes, is in the polishing stages. So, I hope you like the characters and some new ones in the subsequent stories. I will be cranking out more as long as anyone is left on earth to read them.
