Carol Lindsey-Berneau has had some tough times in the past, but has settled into a happy marriage with Jacques Berneau, the unofficial governor of the island paradise known as Berneau. But her past is about to come back and haunt her and the life of her son, Jason, and her husband are in danger. Carol can only sit and pray that her loved ones will be okay as a hurricane bears down on Berneau.

"The Revenge of the Rinellis" is the fast paced action packed third book in K. Lynch's romance-suspense series (the first two books are The Million Dollar Therapist and The Other Side of the Horizon.) This book can be read on its own, but readers of the first two books will be eager to find out how each character's stories turns out, notably Carol's and Jacques. The island setting of Berneau is a nice one - it is a beautiful Caribbean island, a paradise, yet still susceptible to Mother Nature's whims. There is plenty of action and suspense in this book to keep readers turning the pages to find out what happens next. The plot line with Tony Rinelli is especially suspenseful - he is truly an evil character. The impending hurricane adds to the suspense. This book isn't for the squeamish - there are plenty of action scenes and lots of blood - but it's not too gory. The book is like an action movie with the good guys vs. the bad guys and readers will be cheering on the good guys as they read it. Lynch does a good job of wrapping up the series, although it's bittersweet to realize you'll never be visiting Berneau again while reading.

"The Revenge of the Rinellis" is a very fast paced, very well done romance-suspense novel.
