Review: Turtle Soup by Danielle Thorne
Sara has saved and planned for many years to set up her own deli in Atlanta. She has found a spot just a few blocks away from the Georgia Aquarium. Sara names her eatery “Turtle Soup” after she learns that the rude, arrogant fellow she met at the airport is Jack Brandon who heads the Aquarium exhibit for the endangered sea turtles.
Jack is a pretty hard headed marine biologist who spends part of his time managing the Sea Turtle foundation and exhibit and part of his time relaxing in the Caribbean away from the noisy rush of Atlanta. He doesn’t have time to deal with a snappy lady who doesn’t seem to respect his beloved turtles!
Sara lost her parents to a drowning car accident when she was young. Jack has suffered a loss too. Both characters are pretty self reliant, slow to trust and reluctant to share about their pasts. They start out like oil and water that just won’t mix. Fate has other plans in mind for them though if cupid can just get his arrows past their prickly protective shells! As they face their fears, their spicy antagonism slowly turns into sweet passion. But there are rough waves along the way before they can have smooth sailing!
The battle between these strong and well defined characters is fun to follow! As a plus, the author presents lots of scuba detail through Sara’s lessons with Jack and his fellow instructors. This is a very entertaining, hate turned to love, sweet romance! I highly recommend this story as a fun read and look forward to reading more books by Ms. Thorne!
