Blurb:
Kellen Handler is in deep.
Ever since he can remember, he’s wanted to be a professional surfer. And he made it, rising to the top of the ranks, traveling the world and riding every break he’s ever dreamed of. His good looks and reputation for living on the edge—both in and out of the water—have made him an international superstar. But when his best friend dies in a tragic accident, Kellen wipes out big time, spiraling so badly that everything he’s worked for starts to disintegrate.
Tour officials scramble to do damage control and demand he work with a public relations company to clean up his bad boy image. It doesn't help that the person assigned to him, Gina Bellori, has her own demons associated with the surfing world.
Against her better judgement Gina accepts the job and concentrates on repairing Kellen's tattered reputation, despite his protests and despite the pain it causes her. With her past colliding with her present—and Kellen in the thick of it—she begins to realize that some secrets can't stay hidden.
And suddenly, Kellen Handler is no longer worried about losing his career.
He's more worried about losing his heart.

4 I love me some hot surfer stars!!

Wow, okay. I think this was my first surfer boy book and I think I might be in lurve. Kellen was hot, hot, hot and broody to boot. Gina had her hands full with this one, but she knew how to give it back. I absolutely loved her. I love how she believed in Kellen and had so much patience, even when Kellen couldn't believe in himself.
One of my favorite things about this book is the alternating POV. I love, love, love when an author provides us with both. It allows the reader to really feel and connect with the characters.
Great read!!
