You Will Be Swept Away!,
By
This review is from: Swept Away (Paperback)
Katrina "Kat" Spencer has taken a little break from her hectic wedding plans and has gone to her parents privately owned in order to transition from who she is...to who she thinks she needs to be. Gone will be the party girl and in her place will be a pastel wearing, sedate lady. Can she help it if she still dreams of a pirate whisking her away from it all? So, when she awakens from a nap and a half dressed god walks out of the surf...she first thinks that she's in a dream world but when the god speaks and it's a voice from her past...she knows otherwise. What on earth is Brock Denton doing on her island...and why is her heart beating way to fast? This man hurt her once before and she is not about to give him a second chance of doing it again. But, when danger follows Brock and he protects her as a knight should...it becomes harder and harder to say no to the one man she has always wanted. Is this really their second chance at love and will they survive in order to see their happy ending?This red hot read is beyond entertaining! It's action packed and so sensually written you will be able to feel the sexual tension she builds between her main characters. Ms. Blake is an awesome talent and once again has created one of the hottest hero's in print today. Brock and Kat's romance will keep enthrall until the final page. This is one read you must add to your summer reading list! You will be "Swept Away" for sure!

Passionate, Suspense Read,
By
This review is from: Swept Away (Paperback)
Toni Blake has penned a sizzling sensual and suspenseful story with lots of action between the main characters.Ten years ago Katrina (Kat) Spencer threw herself at Brock Denton on her graduation night, only to be sent away embarrassed, humiliated and deeply hurt. Now ten years later the last person she expects to see swim out of the ocean on her deserted island is Brock. Kat has declined going to Vegas with her friends and having a bachelorette party, instead opting to go to the family's private island to get herself mentally prepared to marry her fiancé, Ian in seven days. She has known him all her life; he is prominent, rich and would be able to help her family out. But it also means that she would have a sedate life, something she has to come to terms with, because it is for the best. She knows all this, but it just doesn't feel right for her, something is missing or is it? Brock is an undercover FBI Agent, who has had his cover blown. He escapes off a yacht and manages to swim to an island. Imagine his surprise when he comes upon a grown up, half naked Kat when he emerges from the water. She is the one person he has never been able to forget. While the bad guys are still pursuing him, and now having to protect Kat, as well as deal with the sparks that fly between the two of them with enough heat to burn up the pages, Brock stumbles on something on the island that puts Kat's family, especially her father and fiancé in jeopardy. How is he ever going to survive all this? Toni has weaved an true love story with passion, betrayal, and heart pounding suspense that will keep you on the edge of your chair and turning pages to the very end. It is a book well worth reading and I recommend it.

A fabulous read,
By Serena, Fallen Angel Reviews - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Swept Away (Paperback)
Brock Denton was undercover and about to bust a smuggling ring wide open when his cover was blown and he found himself stranded on an island with the woman of his dreams, literally. Ever since the night she'd offered herself to him, Katrina Spencer had been the woman he fantasized about. When he was stuck undercover with hours to kill, she was who he thought of; now that he was on the island with her, he could only hope that they could turn his dreams into reality.Katrina Spencer had bailed on her friends and their plans of a bachelorette party to escape to her family's uninhabited island and try to reconnect with herself. She found herself thinking about that night years ago when she'd thrown aside inhibitions and propositioned the darkly handsome Brock Denton. She remembered the shame when she'd been turned down and how he'd never been far from her fantasies since. Now that he's here, within reach, Katrina has to fight everything to be true to her fiancé. Swept Away is a compelling mix of clichéd romance and truly deep emotions. With a hero who doesn't know how to love and a heroine who's daddy's little girl, there were a lot of moments in this book that I was frustrated with it, but I kept coming back to the love, the hate, and the fear that was effortlessly woven into the story. By the time I finished Swept Away, I no longer thought of the plot devices as clichés, but as tried and true romantic ingredients. I have never been happier than now that I've continued to read a book even when the characters and plot frustrated me. Brock was a fantastic bad boy and never really lost his edge while Kat truly shone as the heroine in this book. Her sheer strength of will was amazing and the sexual tension between the two of them sent shivers down my spine. I have to say brava Ms. Blake, brava. 15 of 17 people found the following review helpful

Lots of action and steamy love scenes,
By Ratmammy "The Ratmammy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Swept Away (Paperback)
SWEPT AWAY by Toni BlakeDecember 17, 2006 Amazon rating 3.5/5 "Ten years ago on her birthday, teen Katrina Spencer tried to seduce Brock Denton (who was twenty-two years old at the time), thinking he wouldn't be able to resist her. But Brock said no, and ruined what she expected to be her best birthday yet. Now Katrina is about to marry Ian, a conservative accountant who works at her father's art gallery. Katrina has curbed her wild streak and is ready to settle down. She works for her father and creates beautiful pottery on the side, but she isn't happy. Instead of heading to Las Vegas for her bridal shower, she hides out on her family's private island off the coast of Florida, trying to sort out her life. No one knows she's there except her best friend. FBI agent Brock Denton is at sea, working undercover, attempting to capture a ring of art smugglers who have been stealing Guatemalan artifacts and selling to private collectors. Unfortunately, carelessness reveals his true identity. His life in danger, he jumps ship and swims to the closest island. Of course he encounters Kat napping on the beach. Brock brings danger to Katrina's refuge, but does his best to protect her, as they hide from the pursuing smugglers." - Complete review at BookLoons - M. Lofton This was a book that will keep you reading into the night, and Toni Blake does a great job with the writing. However, I felt that the subplot involving Kat's mother didn't belong in this book, and should have been eliminated before the book went to print. SWEPT AWAY is a good beach read with a lot of action and sensual love scenes. 11 of 12 people found the following review helpful

much better than I expected,
By Arabella Stratton "Bella" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Swept Away (Paperback)
This book is such an easy read and a guilty pleasure. When I started it, I was a little hesitant...the characters seemed very flat at first and I really thought that if Brock kept calling Kat "kitten" the whole book it would drive me crazy! I'm glad I stuck with it, though, because I really enjoyed this book. The characters got more depth through each page. The pace of the book picked up a lot about 100 pages through, with suspense and steamy sex scenes. If you are looking to read a really fun, hot, mindless book then you'll love it! I ended up really liking both characters by the end of the book, which I didn't expect at all.
