Only the most gorgeous hunk will save fast-track photographer Carly Sullivan's job, but finding the right man isn't easy when you're on a ship in the middle of the Caribbean and the model you hired turns out to be a disaster.
With her hopes sinking faster than the Titanic, Carly spots the most beautiful man she's ever seen. Ford McKay swears he's a rancher from Wyoming, but Carly has her suspicions. Then all hell breaks loose in their island paradise and the sexy stranger is all that protects Carly from a hail of bullets.
Ford McKay knows that mixing business and pleasure can be murder, and he's not about to compromise his current mission for an obstinate redhead who can't forget her camera for a nanosecond. But when Carly is wounded, the rugged Navy SEAL can't just walk away.
As fate forces the two into excruciatingly close quarters, Ford finds his heart taking a tumble. Soon the straight-arrow SEAL discovers that with the right woman, going overboard can be unforgettable.

Ford Mackay was not only easy to envisage but mouth wateringly sexy and my only complaint is that I'm not Carly. The plot moves swiftly and the action is thrilling, I could feel the heat and smell the islands and sea. I would recommend this novel to all and can't wait to see the film version that should be made.

5.0 out of 5 starsAnother winning novel by Christina Skye12 April 2001
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
At sea, photographer Carly Sullivan desperately seeks a photogenic hunk to fulfill her contract with the cruise line after her model fails her. Carly and her temporary assistant and closest friend Daphne Brandon ogle all men over the age of sixteen, but find no one until they see an individual who oozes elegance.
Carly offers money to Ford McKay, but he misinterprets what she wants and refuses to bed her for even $750 an hour. Navy SEAL Ford is undercover with orders from DC to protect a Carolina Sullivan. Apparently, death threats to the governor-general of the Caribbean island Santa Marina and his family and their friends have led to the need for round the clock protection. Daphne is the daughter of the governor-general, which means the killers are probably on board too. Ford accepts Carly's modeling job even as he feels she is just a spoiled rich woman. However, as the threats to Carly and Daphne turn real, Ford reassesses his opinion of her while they fall in love.
GOING OVERBOARD is an entertaining romantic suspense romp that never slows down. The story line is filled with action and amusing encounters between Ford and Carly, a warm couple that the audience will adore. The return of a secondary player from a previous novel adds to the enjoyment of the audience. Christina Skye has written another winner.

5.0 out of 5 starsLove those Navy Seals!!!4 Oct 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is the first book I've read by Ms. Skye. The story flowed rapidly and I thoroughly enjoyed the dialog between Carly and McKay, no pretense, tell it just like it is!! Gives you lots of heart gulping moments and boy can Ms. Skye describe kissing!! The secondary characters, Daphne and Izzy, fit in like gloves. The ending was brilliant. I don't want to describe the ending because it would ruin the surprise. This book was full of adventure, romance and people you'd like to hear more about. I've just finished reading Susanne Brockmann's 3 books which also was about Navy Seals. These two writers are fantastic!!

2.0 out of 5 starsI've read much better17 Jan 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The on-line reviews of this Navy seal story looked good. I was not impressed. This is the first from Christina Syke that I have read. I found myself getting lost and having to re-read text to see who was talking. At one point I thought the characters were still in the hotel when further on I realized they moved to the car. I've ready many ho-hum stories but rarely with such choppy dialog. With so many other books on my "to read" list, I felt this book a waste of time.
For a good romantic Navy SEAL series, try Suzanne Brockmann's Over the Edge, Out of Control and Into the Night!
