The Sapphire Affair

Lynn Braden

The Sapphire Affair is about Steph Anderson who runs dive excursions in many places around the world including the Cayman Islands where her stepfather is now living. Jake Harlowe runs a retrieval business and has been hired by the company formerly run by Steph's stepfather. Eli Thompson is now living in the Caymans with his new fiancee. Jake is looking for funds that are missing from Eli's company and all the clues point to Eli. Steph has her own reasons for visiting Eli. Her mother spent much of her livelihood getting Eli's business off the ground and now he has left her with nothing. When Jake and Steph meet and realize that they are working on the same thing, they join forces to find the missing funds which they believe have been turned into diamonds. Their attraction is immediate and burns hot, but they have both been burned before and find it difficult to trust someone of the opposite sex.
This book is a very enjoyable read, and could be described as a great beach book. There is action, adventure, and extremely well written love scenes that are erotic and sexy, but not over the top. The mystery has some twists and turns, but lacks depth. Overall, however, this book is just what it is meant to be, a good summer read.

Keep your lover close and your enemy closer. After giving in to a fiery night of passion, island adventurer Steph Anderson and bounty hunter Jake Harlowe are back to square one. With millions in stolen jewels at stake, it s hard for Steph not to question her new partner s true motives no matter how sexy he might be. Jake is hungry for more of Steph, but he can sense her growing mistrust, which only fuels his own doubts. Worse, there s undeniable evidence that someone else is now after the jewels and that they are both in real danger. Fighting against their magnetic attraction is a distraction these two can t afford. In order to survive, they ll have to pull off one more heist and trust each other with something even more precious than jewels: their hearts. "

The Sapphire Heist

The Sapphire Heist is really just the last half of the previous book in this series, The Sapphire Affair. In the Sapphire Heist, Jake and Steph have taken the next step in their relationship, but have trouble communicating with one another about their fears, leading to trust issues. Jake and Steph are still investigating her stepfather, Eli, but Steph is starting to have doubts about Jake's accusations that Eli is responsible for the missing funds in his company. As the two of them get closer to the truth, they must also let go of their pasts in order to move into a future together. 
The Sapphire Heist delivers a satisfying ending to not only the "Heist" story line but also to Jake and Steph's relationship.

A friend of mine kept telling me how much she loved this book and I do have a lot of Lauren Blakely's books on my Kindle that were free at some point but never even got around to reading them but because of my friend I read The Sapphire Affair and I have to say that I loved it so much that I added more books by this author onto my long wishlist on amazon. 

I can't wait to read the next book in this series and more books by this author.

I highly recommend this book .
