Riptide
Two surprises await high-stakes repo man Jake Jacobson on his latest job. First, old flame Kelsey Chambers. Second, gunfire! Seizing the luxury yacht should have been easy, but he hadn't planned on Kelsey's appearance. Or that smugglers would hijack the vessel to find an antique map hidden on board. The map is Jake and Kelsey's only leverage, but it carries a price. Without it, they're as good as dead. With it, they're the target of a relentless hunt. Their failed relationship has Kelsey afraid to rely on Jake again. Can she count on him with their lives on the line?

I loved this easy-read of a suspense story. I read the whole thing in a few hours while Kelsey and Jake survive unimaginable things only to face worse ones, again and again. I think if it had been a regular-length novel it could have reached five stars pretty easily, but there were a few parts where I could have done with more description and where it seemed like the action just moved too fast (like the days in the woods, where the action went hop-skip and the events barely had time to be told) and the ending was rushed (hey, I need more payoff than that!). Otherwise I really loved this little story and I especially liked how Goddard wove the 23rd Psalm throughout Kelsey's narrative.
