Author:
A former
photojournalist, Tim W. Jackson now splits his time between captaining a boat,
teaching people how to scuba dive, and (obviously) writing. He has one novel, Mangrove Underground. Jackson also has multiple
short stories available, all set on the tropical Blacktip Island, also the
setting for his upcoming second novel.

Description:
“Caribbean
dive guide Gage Hoase woos and wins a beautiful dive guest then sends her
packing. All is good until Gabi returns, with happily-ever-after on her mind.
Now Gage has to figure a way to let her down gently before she offs him in his
sleep.”
Appraisal:
The setup
is simple, with lots of possibility. Gage thinks he’s got the perfect situation
as he puts his twist on the old cliché. He loves ’em, but they do the leaving. Then
one of his conquests decides to come back with plans to stay. As you might
expect, the situation is full of humor as Gage attempts to extricate himself.
This is a well written, short, yet fun read.

situations
