5.0 out of 5 stars Emotional and exciting suspense May 15, 2012

By Susan Vaughan

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Virginia Kelly's AGAINST THE WIND is a guaranteed can't-put-it-down romantic suspense. The romantic tension is matched with the danger surrounding the hero and heroine. Kelly has created a strong but conflicted heroine and a drool-worthy hero and put them in danger from unknown forces as well as the hurricane. Many ups and downs and twists and turns in this story kept me turning the Kindle pages well into the night. Where's her next book?

With a yummy hero and fiesty heroine, Against the Wind by Virginia Kelly is the perfect blend of romance and suspense.

This was a page-turning story and I highly recommend it for anyone who loves romantic suspense novels!
