Lisa Omstead (Sunday, 12 August 2007) Rating: The passionate, virile men of the United States Coast Guard are front and center in “Guarding the Coast” by Samantha Gail. The new e-book from eXtasy Books features a cast of handsome, studly Coasties and the female officer in charge of them all. Captain Francesca “Frankie” Moriarty is the commanding officer at a small air station on the Oregon coast and a hotshot helicopter pilot. Sexual activity is going on all around her, and she makes some ill-advised confessions while playing a game with her crew that appears to be a hybrid of strip poker and truth or dare. Her co-pilot Lieutenant Commander Gage Adams starts to see his superior officer in a new light, and hopes to teach her a thing or two about pleasure. Several adventures ensue, including a wildfire the crew must fight, a diving accident, and a rather odd kidnapping/terrorism subplot. The supporting characters, especially Frankie’s group of gossipy pals and the oversexed rescue swimmer on her crew, are particularly fun and I found myself wanting to hear more about them. It’s nice to find a book featuring the hardworking men and women of the coast guard. To enjoy this storyline; you must suspend all thoughts of professionalism, sexual harassment training, and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. But if we can believe stories about sexy vampires or time traveling Scottish Highlanders, we can accept romantic relationships between military officers, right? rnREVIEWED BY: Paloma of Night Owl Romance
