Luna is a PITA for everyone.  Her latest escapade has landed her with community service, helping at a Turtle Sanctuary.  Knox and Ryder aren't exactly enthused at the thought of a month babysitting this pop starlet but they go where ordered.

Caro is the mainstay of the turtle sanctuary.  She understands that having Luna there may get her PR for her sanctuary but dealing with Luna and her hulking bodyguards may not be worth the effort! Caro and Luna start out as very different women but as the book progresses we realise that they have more similarities than differences.

Whilst this book is about Caro and Knox, there is background layering of the potential romance for Ryder and Luna building in the background. Caro and Knox may be opposites but they click on so many levels.  I loved learning all about turtles and their environment.  I always tell people that I learn something new in every book I read and this was very true in this one!

Stalkers, poachers and dangerous exes abound.
