I am a librarian and am always looking for new authors to recommend to our patrons. I am not a reader of romance and so when I pick that genre up I usually go through them quickly. This was such a wonderful surprise! I loved the characters...full of fun. It is a book I will recommend to my readers.

Tropical Warnings by April Star will have you turning pages into the wee hours of the morning! It is so captivating with fun, loveable and interesting characters like Laura, David and Slippery! For readers who love mystery and enjoy some romantic escapades as well, this is a must read! Can't wait for the next adventure in The Wanderlust series! Kudos to Author April Star for taking us on the RV ride of a lifetime!

Laura Madison runs Big Pine Key RV Resort campsite in the Florida Keys. Last year an unknown individual began sending her gifts and leaving her notes. Recently the individual has become increasingly graphic with clear threats to kill her family, employees, and family so they can be together on Valentine's Day. Urged by her friend, the only other person aware of "Slippery", Laura visits private investigator David Jennings, who feels he has met the woman he will marry.

She does not like his humor or come-ons until he describes exactly her problem. He explains that an erotomaniac stalker distorts reality; he knows first hand as he was the victim of one, who eventually committed suicide. He tells her he will fight dirty to keep her safe, but that they must pretend to be a loving couple to get Slippery out of the shadows. His plans work almost too well when an apparently outraged Slippery angrily tries to burn his beloved and her lover to death. Thus the first salvo in the war has been fired.

The cat and mouse fight takes a backseat to the frightening lucid description of an erotomaniac stalker; bluntly this is good to know, but scary as hell. The story line contains two strong protagonists with David's humorous inner thoughts serving as tension abating asides; however he is very serious when it comes to keeping the woman he loves at first sight safe from a psycho. The efforts to uncover and stop the stalker are action-packed, but once again TROPICAL WARNINGS is a cautionary romantic suspense thriller that pulls no punches when it comes to stalking.
