Return to Victoria Island by Karen Andover

        Trust is Everything.

About the Book:  When hardworking accountant Ava Morrison is passed over for her dream promotion, she is disappointed. But when her employer gives her two weeks to sign a high-value client or be fired, she is devastated. Then she is reminded of the annual boat show on Victoria Island, a picturesque vacation haven off Florida’s northeast coast and realizes it would be a good place to recruit wealthy businesspeople.

Because someone is stealing from property developer Jack Rutledge, he needs the help of a discreet accountant. He asks Ava to audit his company books; in return he will introduce her to potential clients. Soon, things turn dangerous. As the partnership becomes more personal, it could add up to love—or prove to be a fatal miscalculation.

 

Our Review: In the first pages of this short romantic suspense, heroine Ava describes her situation as “an out-of-control roller coaster”, thus setting the pace. To the credit of the author, the hits just keep on coming. Drawn in from page one where the jist of the story is spelled out in a clear, concise manner, the pages will keep on turning, first to identify who is stealing from handsome, enigmatic Jack, second to learn who is threatening Ava, and third the why of it all. Author Andover has created a beauty of a story. We wonder what she’ll do with the next in this series.

 

Based on a scale of 1-5, Return to Victoria Island merits a 6.
