ABOUT THE SAPPHIRE AFFAIR (Jewel Novel #1):

Bounty hunter Jake Harlowe knows how to track a criminal. So when a group of swindled shareholders hires him to trail their former CEO, Jake expects a quick trip to the Cayman Islands to close another case. Until a devastatingly beautiful woman gets in the way.

Steph Anderson is visiting the Caymans for a rock climbing and dive trip—or so she tells Jake. She’s really trying to find out whether or not her stepfather embezzled money from his company. The last thing Steph needs is the distraction of a sexy, charming man whose kisses drive her wild.

Soon, the pair discover they’re after the same target—and millions in jewels. While Jake can’t be certain Steph isn’t working for her stepfather, and Steph can’t be certain Jake isn’t after the diamonds for himself, they can agree the heat between them is intense, and neither can deny the passion for long.

But the morning after, Steph discovers that she just might have slept with the enemy, and now she’ll have to outwit him to get everything she needs…

Tracey’s Review

Jake Harlowe is a finder of purloined things, a righter of wrongs, a man on a mission, and his current mission is to figure out where the money went. Steph Anderson has spent the last year cleaning up a mess that she didn’t create, and now she’s ready to help her mom retrieve the money that disappeared in the wake of her messy divorce. When a chance meeting brings Jake and Steph together, convincing each other to put aside their passion and work to find the missing funds may prove more than they can handle.

“It seems you have talents that might come in handy,” she admitted.
“See? I knew you could be convinced of my talents,” he said, wiggling an eyebrow.
She rolled her eyes. “In this case, I was actually thinking of the other talent you mentioned. The one where you could wander around town, ask questions here and there, act like a tourist, and no one thinks anything of it. There are a few things I have in mind. But they require both of us.”
He held out his arms wide. “That’s what I’m talking about. So does this mean we’re working together, Ariel?”
She nodded, then lowered her voice to a whispered warning. “But just work. No funny stuff.”

Oh, the best laid plans, and all of that. Because, Lauren Blakely, you’re not fooling any of us with this ‘no funny stuff’ business. Let me just put it out there, the connection between Jake and Anderson is instantaneous and white-hot. Like, sizzling. And, even better, the verbal back-and-forth is just more saucy foreplay for these two unlikely partners in crime. Or, the prevention of crime, as it were.

In my opinion, this book is a little bit of a departure for Lauren, and I have to say that I love, love, love it. The whole whodunit aspect of THE SAPPHIRE AFFAIR lends a sense of intrigue and mystery. That being said, this book is full of Lauren’s trademark snappy dialogue, fan yourself sexy times, and characters that feel like friends. An easy 5+ stars for this one. I will be not-so-patiently waiting for THE SAPPHIRE HEIST, the second book in this set. Grab this book and read it, guys, because August is coming fast, and you’ll want to be ready; I know that I am!
