21/8 - Fantastic! Loved it! Read between 9 pm and 1:30 am. Peyton's life is in danger because she has a recording of the CEO-to-be (or so he thinks) of a large magazine company sexually harassing her and threatening to rape her. Finn was the boy-next-door who saved her from drowning when she was little, now he's all grown up and has lived an amazing life - gold medals for swimming, awards for his work with the FBI as their top interrogator, saving people everywhere he goes. Finn is captivated with Peyton from his first look at her as an adult, even before he remembers who she is. Peyton has worshipped Finn ever since he rescued her from her backyard pool. Now Peyton needs Finn's help and he wouldn't have it any other way. I've read a number of books that feature the 'over-protective, police/FBI/etc.' type of hero, but the heroine usually tends to be the type who is too stupid or too stubborn to take the advice of the over-protective man. He tells her to stay put as there is a killer (or whatever) out there just waiting for her to make an appearance, but she would rather get killed than listen to the man (usually it comes pretty close to her getting killed before she's willing to listen to reason). Thank God Peyton was nothing like the typical heroine in these kinds of books. When Finn told her to stay put she understood why and found stuff to do within the secure (not counting the constant appearance of cousin Debi) confines of Bishop Cove. I loved that about her. Between Finn and Peyton there was only a small conflict that was quickly resolved, the drama between them wasn't drawn out to ridiculous lengths just to provide the tension of will they or won't they (which I always find silly as the book's a romance, so of course they will).
