RED SKY Tanner/Whitney sailing adventures edition by carl brookins Literature Fiction eBooks
f you began to read this book, say, just the first chapter, you'd probably stop quickly, head out to make a cup of tea and think you are starting a wonderful lovers' vacation, on a yacht, no less! In the Caribbean! Wow! I've toured in the Caribbean area, but quickly realized, as the couple could stop and visit small towns along the way, that I could say I've been there. But having Brookins take us to being able to sail to various places, stop and stay were you wanted...well... it's not even close to on a cruise ship and schedule... So I decided to tour a little while sharing my thoughts on the book and setting...And...the fun, relaxing sexy interlude they'd planned was soon over! For readers too!
But this reader was quite pleased because the mystery began quickly, continued on and on, and kept me totally involved. The main characters, Tanner and Whitney, may be "amateur detectives" from a police standpoint, but, these two were among the best of the best I've seen for knowledge and expertise. Of course, it didn't hurt that both of the characters are independently wealthy, intelligent, professionally capable...and have gained a reputation based upon their background skills, and to some extent, their financial status. I was marveling at the brilliance of Whitney and her skills with sailing, while the protective actions of Tanner and his laid-back attitude and humor were engaging. Even after they were targeted...
By then Tanner had found the money...
While in a cove, Tanner had done a survey of the boat and surroundings, only to arise from the water with three one-hundred dollar bills...
They knew they would have to report it, thinking it could even be counterfeit, but that didn't mean it had to be right away, so they decided to stop at The Bitter End Yacht Club at Virgin Gorda to begin inquiring about local officials. That was the first time Tanner thought he saw a boat that seemed to be following or watching them...
Heading into the Club, they found a dinner table and Tanner stepped out to seek information of how to gain directions to the police. He also asked about the British Consulate... and before very long, having been overheard, a man came to their table to offer assistance. Ian McGwean introduced himself and said he was with the British government, offering to help... Was it just a little coincidental, they wondered, but nevertheless talked with Ian for some time...
Only to learn later that he had been found dead...
And the three $100 bills had been stolen from their yacht's cabin...
Tanner and Whitney are married, although Whitney retained her own name, given her business and foundation involvement.
I enjoyed them as a couple, obviously very much in love and happy to be together, while at the same time, other than losing their vacation enjoyment, they make a formidable couple in investigating and helping to solve mysteries...
But, this time, they were being tracked, watched...and more. They finally realized that somebody might think they had access to the rest of the money or knew where it was. They were the ones being hunted! And getting local officials involved may or may not be a good thing since, as they moved forward, it became apparent that they could not be sure who could be trusted!
Readers continue to learn more about the various nearby islands and enjoy the leisure activities of the vacationing lovers but, the story and danger continues to increase and soon Tanner is taken--gone without a trace!
But that wasn't the end...
As the book continues, the leisurely pace of sailing on the yacht is thrown next into danger, requiring high sailing skills to make the way through tight areas into the open sea. Whew! Soon, it is a page-turner, with readers wanting nothing more for those being chased to see dry land safely. A thoroughly enjoyable mix of romantic pleasure interludes with thrilling, exciting edge-of-your-seat water racing maneuvers from danger. No doubt that I would recommend this one!

RED SKY Tanner/Whitney sailing adventures edition by carl brookins Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
A highly entertaining thriller about getting tangled in a counterfeit money and drugs ring. The action takes place on board a boat and even if you aren't an avid sailor it is quite interesting and engaging. Things get interesting as murder ensues and Mary and Tanner don't know who they can trust.
I enjoyed this book as it refreshingly had strong female characters who took matters into their own hands and did the rescuing. Set in the idyllic British Virgin Islands this does very well as a holiday read or to take you away from miserable weather.
Carl Brookins is a master of the intricate plot, brought alive with interesting characters and a fabulous setting (sailing in the Caribbean). In Red Sky Tanner and Whitney have discovered three Benjamins, floating near their anchor. They report their find to the authorities, but it only makes them the target of a powerful gang. What's really fun about this book is the way the setting plays into the story when Tanner and Whitney are at sea, they're isolated and vulnerable, especially at night when they're anchored. But when they go ashore at any of the resort towns on the various islands, they are exposed to many jurisdictions of island cops. Some of the police do not seem trustworthy, and Tanner and Whitney don't know who to trust. Murder, kidnapping, smuggling, and missing money make this a great read.
If I could change one thing, I would change the preview paragraph posted here on . I'm glad I didn't read it before I read the book it gives away half the plot. Worst pitch for a good book ever.
I have just received a as a gift. So being interested in sailboats I search the sailing section of e-books.
What a great read.
Both as far as a mystery/drama and about sailing. The book is a real book.

Well, all in all this was an enjoyable read. It showed the writers talant for telling a epic of a sailing couple. Just like the movies, it had all of the suspence, danger, drama and sex put together, even though some of it was a little far fetched. But that is why it is called "FICTION". An overall fun read.
Very good story
On vacation, sailing in the Caribbean, two lovers become entangled in a smuggling operation.
I love the BVI and I love sailing so this was a no-brainer. Overall the book was good, not great but I liked it enough to say I didn't regret buying it at all. I did find there were words thrown in that I had no clue what they meant and when I defined them thought a simpler word would have done fine in its place and smoothed out the flow a bit. Story was fun and kept me reading and the characters were well defined. I did find it a little odd that to me the sitaution they were in seemed to not garner a matching sense of anxiety. Without saying too much, things were happening that would be freaking me out that they seemed to be blase about. But, with that said, everyone reacts differently so thats just my interpretation. All-in-all, an enjoyable and well done fast read.
