West of Port by Carina Taylor: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 

The Book

Sydney is out for revenge no matter what it takes—including teaming up with a grumpy, retired cop who wants nothing to do with her.

West has retired from the police force. Completely burnt out, he doesn't want to protect anyone anymore. All he wants is to be left alone so that he can refinish his new-to-him sailboat.

Unfortunately for him, a woman shows up asking for his help—needing his help.

He does the only thing he can.

And says no.

But that doesn't seem to stop her from seeking him out when her plans for revenge go sideways and she's now the target. He can't just walk away and leave her to fend for herself.

Now he's stuck with a cheerful, optimistic, vengeance-bent woman as a passenger on his sailboat.

West might not have been able to keep her off his boat, but he'll surely be able to keep her out of his heart.

Maybe.

West of Port is a closed door romcom adventure! It contains mild language and suspenseful elements.

Book Review

West of Port is the fourth book in the Love and Treasure series. While you probably could enjoy this one just fine as a standalone, I think this is one series that is best enjoyed in order so as to avoid any spoilers that add to the reading experience as characters from those books do make appearances in this one! 

I absolutely adore this entire series. Rook To King (book two) is one of my all-time favorite books, and the series as a whole is the perfect blend of adventure, humor and romance that I absolutely cannot get enough of... this one was absolutely no exception. Right from the start, I was drawn into this adventure... West truly was the perfect grump and a rather reluctant hero, which made him super fun to read. Carina Taylor is an absolute master at banter, and this one was another prime example of that. I loved the back and forth between these two... and the chemistry? Oh my goodness! It was just absolute perfection. How a story involving witnessing a murder and being on the run for your life from the mafia can also be laugh out loud funny and super swoon worthy too is a mystery... but Carina brings it all together in such an entertaining way and I loved every single second of it. This is absolutely a book and a series that you do not want to miss! 

West of Port is a closed-door romance with kisses only. It does have some minor language throughout the story as well.
