Tropical Kiss

Reviewed by Jennifer Wardrip, aka "The Genius" for TeensReadToo.com

Morgan Callahan is a seventeen-year-old girl with a life in turmoil. She's still recovering from a broken leg, hobbling along on crutches. Her mother has just remarried and is indulging in a little private honeymoon with her new husband. Her father, who she hasn't seen in three years, is currently in Aruba for business, and she's passed along to him for the summer. Arriving on a tropical island for a little summer vacation should be calming, but from the very beginning, it's anything but.

Her father is so busy with work-big surprise!-that he sends his twenty-year-old assistant, an intern for the summer, to pick Morgan up at the airport. Heaven forbid Phillip Callahan should take even an hour break from his busy schedule to pick his own daughter up upon arrival on an island in the middle of nowhere. To make matters worse, Phillip is detained in a late meeting, and the only person Morgan has for company is Cyrus "Cy" Reed, that cute assistant of her father's.

Determined to get to know her father better, to get to know Cy a whole lot more, and have a relaxing vacation beneath the Aruba sunshine, Morgan gets a bit more than she bargained for. When a battle begins to erupt between some drug lords and CIA agents, all hell breaks loose on Aruba.

TROPICAL KISS was a sweet story that has it all-suspense, intrigue, a nice island setting, comedy, and a summer spent learning about romance and family dynamics. Morgan is a typical teenager from a broken home. She's struggling to find her own identity, trying to get closer to a father who has always put his business first. With Cy, she finds a man who is both irritating and attractive at the same time, and she has to learn to come to grips with those conflicting emotions.

A well-paced young adult book with down-to-earth characters, TROPICAL KISS is a great read for a summer afternoon spent out in the sun.

Nook.!!!

I would really like to have this in Nook form.!!!

amazing

Thhis book first gave me the impression that this is just a typical romance but trusting my sisters opinion i read it. OMG!!!! I totally fell for the book (and Cy). What first got me was the intensity shown between morgan and cy the moment they met. I recommend this book for anyone in the mood for a good romance but enjoys a little light action every now and then. I'd love Jan Coffey if she made a sequel but i'm highly doubtful.

I Love this Book!

I love this book, it kept me interested the whole time and its a great love story. The characters fit the book amazingly. The story line flowed along nicely and didn't leave anything out. The detailing was great!

Tropical Kiss How about "Tropial WOW!"

This is the most romantic book since the Notebook! By far my favorite romance novel. And trust me, I'm hard to convince!
Tropical Kiss is about two kids falling inlove. Togther, they find out the mysteries of her father, and themselves.
I recommend this book to girls who have LOTS of tissues!!!!!!

Amazing!!

this book is absolutely amazing. I read it a super long time ago and I still haven't forgotten it. And I'm talking a long time 2 like....3 years. This book is absolutely unforgettable and really funny too. A truly excellent read

Left me wanting a sequel!

I really liked this book as it has great characters. It was weird at first since it is written by two people and you can feel it, but past the first few chapters, you forget about that.

I did think, however, that towards the end was not really realistic. I do not think it was bad, but I was so into Morgan and Cy's relationship that I wanted more of them instead of the plot.

The very ending sounded as if somehow, there could be a sequel. I think it would be awesome to learn more of the characters.

best book ever

this book has to be my favorite book i've read in long time. you have to read it. it is soooo good. believe me.

Tropical Kiss proves to be fun and flirty

17-yr-old Morgan is being shipped off to Aruba, while her mother and new stepfather travel to India on their honeymoon. Morgan is less than thrilled to visit the Caribbean and be with her father, whom she has not seen in 3 years. At the beginning, Morgan and her father do not seem to have a very strong or meaningful relationship, as her father is always busy with his job. As the book goes on, the bond between father and daughter strengthens, as does the relationship between Morgan and Cy, a young assistant to her father. A love plot takes over this book to make for a good, fun read. Morgan learns to let go of the tight hold she has on her heart and allows Cy to come into her life. This book is thoroughly enjoyable and a definite page-turner! You will not be disappointed with this romancic novel!

A reviewer

I really enjoyed this book because it had romance and some other interesting side plots happening in it too! I really liked how Cy's and Morgan's relationship started off in the beginning so their relationship had the whole summer to progress unlike in other books where it takes way too long for the guy and girl to figure out they are meant to be with eachother!!! But nonetheless this was a GREAT book!
