Summary: This book is romantic suspense at it's best!
Review: Ava Santori has waited five years to hear from her brother Marco. And when word finally comes, it isn't good ...Marco is presumed dead, lost at sea during a hurricane in the Caribbean. Determined to find out what went wrong, and also encouraged by attorney Grayson Boyd, who stands to make a killing off this disaster at sea, Ava heads to the island of St. Barts.Dane Erikson is the owner of the luxurious Utopia Adventures cruise line, and challenges Ava to help discover what went wrong with the doomed ship, rather than side with the scum ball attorney. Ava blames Dane for wanting to cash in on millions off this disaster, and also for sending the doomed "Paradisio" into the eye of the storm. Dane blames Ava for not being a good sister to Marco, and cannot understand why she never got in touch with him for 5 years. The continual misunderstandings between these two finally turns into a mutual concern to put the past behind them, and work together to solve the mystery of the doomed ship. What happens along the way is awesome. Dane is one of the most engaging heroes ever, and when he and Ava finally get together, the sensual fireworks ignite. There are many twists and turns in the plot that will keep you guessing right up to the end. The author takes the time to bring this entire story to conclusion, and leaves nothing out. When most books would have ended, the publisher generously commits enough pages to bring everything to closure. This book has it all - Kudos to this wonderful new author!

Summary: enjoyable romantic suspense
Review: For five years Ava Santori and her famous family of chefs awaited to hear from her estrange brother Marco, but nary a word came until now. They learn that Marco died as a Second Mate on the ill-fated Paradisio passenger ship that went down when it sailed into Hurricane Carlos. The grieving family wants to move past the incident. However, lawyer Grayson Boyd persuades Ana to come to the Caribbean Island of St. Bart to sue the ship's owner Dane Erikson who stands to make millions on the disaster. Ana believes the avaricious Dane caused Marco's death. Dane believes Ana failed to act like a sister to his best friend. Both wants to hate the other, but neither can ignore the growing love towards one another even while danger mounts from an illegal operation. Though the continual misunderstanding between the lead protagonists seems difficult to accept especially midway into the novel, readers will enjoy this romantic suspense. The action focuses on the lead couple's misconceptions before twisting into an intrigue. The plot is at its finest when Dane and Ana argue over Marco while falling in love. The intrigue adds excitement, but detours the story line from its roots. Still the audience will appreciate Roxanne St. Claire's tale. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Tropical Getaway is a wonderful escape
Review: I loved this book. I couldn't put it down once I started it. The story has twists and surprises and a sexy romance too. The characters are rich in texture and the description of the Caribbean made me feel I was there as I read. I can't wait for Roxanne St. Claire's next book to come out!!

Summary: A Trip to Paradise! Awesome new book!
Review: Stop your world when you reach for this divine debut book, a pure pleasure to read. I was transported to paradise from the first page across the twists and turns to the heart pounding end -- and I am aching for a sequel! What a joy to meet characters as courageous and gusty as Ava, as compassionate -- and passionate -- as Dane, with conversations and reactions so real, they touch your heart. Their appealing love story is surrounded by several layers of wonderful mini-characters, like the housekeeper, and sweet, strong Cassie, so intriguing, she could be the next book!
Tropical Getaway's pace is blistering and riddled with twists from the belly of the boat to beautiful St. Bart's. But above all, it is a beautiful story of lovers meant to be together in spite of the storms at sea.
This is a remarkably well-written story with all the elements that keep you hooked.
I want to head for the Caribbean, I want to meet them, I want to find Dane! I want to read more of this new author.
