This could almost be called a comedy of misunderstandings if people's hearts and feelings weren't quite so involved as they are.

Cassie is a petite woman who looks like she's about 18. The problem is that she is actually 30, but no one really treats her that way. On the night before she's due to start her new job, she's out walking the beach when she runs into some young people playing beach volleyball who let her join. She has a couple of beers and sits with them. Then she goes wading in the ocean and gets knocked down by a huge wave, and saved by a huge, gorgeous man and his super cute doggie. When she gets to her new job at Coronado the next day, it turns out that the man who rescued her is a SEAL instructor, and she'll be seeing him often, since her job is to work a computer program that helps to train SEALs.

When Flynn rescues the beautiful woman out of the ocean, he thinks that she's just some underage kid out playing around. But when she shows up on base the next day, it turns out that she's the new girl genius working on their new computer simulators. He's immediately attracted, but he thinks that she's 23 or so, and that's too young for him. So he spends 6 months spending time with her, as friends. He keeps telling himself that she's too young and innocent, plus she's vanilla.

The relationship between Flynn and Cassie isn't an instalove situation. It's instalust, but seriously, who doesn't lust after a hot man in uniform, right? While instalove can be great to read, it's also nice to see a relationship develop slowly and organically, which is what happens in this one. They are friends who go out and do things together, even though they both want to be more and neither of them knows it. The misunderstandings going on in this book make things much more difficult than they have to be, but without that conflict, we wouldn't have much of a book, so they are necessary. ( )

Boring poor writer. ( )
