Caribbean Island - Present Day

When author Cat Gamble wishes on a star to win the lottery so she can get away from her deceased husband's creditors, she never expects for it to come true or that her life will be irrevocably changed. Cat sees Porto Di Angelo, an island close to St. Lucia and immediately wants to purchase it. The place sounds wonderful and is the perfect place to write her romance novels. Her three friends, Trevor, Grant, and Bruce help her check it out and then happily send her on her way towards a new adventure. And what an adventure it turns out to be. The island is beautiful, the caretakers are wonderful, sensual people who talk her into finding a man. Cat puts an ad on the Internet and is contacted by Jack Spankevopoulos, a pirate captain. Well, not really a true pirate captain but he sounds dreamy. After a few phone calls between them, Cat wants to be kidnapped by this pirate captain and held on board his ship. Unfortunately for Cat, she is captured by real pirates who deal in sexual slavery. Will Jack rescue Cat in time?

Captain of the Captive Fantasy, Jack Spankevopoulos, spies an interesting ad on the Internet. When he clicks on said ad, he is struck speechless by the beauty of the lady who pops up on his screen. He responds to her ad and the two start conversing on the phone. Jack is quite taken with the pretty lady and when she wants to come on board his ship and act out a captive fantasy, Jack makes plans to kidnap the lovely lady from her beach. Jack arrives only to learn that Cat and her housekeeper, Leilani, have been taken by true pirates. With no clues or any idea of where to search, Jack and Leilani's husband, Ramon, call on Cat's friends to help them out. They get a break when they see Cat on the Internet performing sexual acts with a faceless man. What the ???? It doesn't take the men long to realize that Cat is trying to give them clues as to her whereabouts. Now it's up to them to find and rescue both Cat and Leilani. What will Jack do when he comes face to face with the woman he has fantasized about? Even knowing she is doing these things under duress and seemingly enjoying them, can Jack get past this?

A steamy romantic tale combined with a little danger, HOT FOR IT is definitely hot. Cat is a very lonely woman in debt up to her eyeballs due to her deceased husband's gambling debts. She wishes on a star and gets more than she bargained for, including a surprise. No, I won't reveal the surprise because I think you should discover that on your own. Let's just say...it's very interesting. <g> On the island, Cat comes out of her shell and learns a few things about herself in the process. Jack is a sexy pirate in need of a diversion from the mundane chores of a captain. Cat is that diversion. She is everything he is searching for in a woman, and he wants more than sex from her. Though they are apart for nearly the entire story, their first meeting is breathtaking. Secondary characters include Leilani, her husband, Ramon; Cat's three friends, Trevor, Grant, and Bruce; Jack's cousin and first mate, Stavros, and a couple more interesting, and intriguing characters, who add depth, humor and excitement to the storyline.

If you love pirates, steamy sex, captivating characters, and a sprinkle of danger in your romance novels, then search no further than Melissa MacNeal's HOT FOR IT.
