When Kane Travers finds a beautiful stranger washed up on his beach unconscious and very naked, he jumps into rescue mode without skipping a beat.  It’s all part of his job as Chief of Police in Kauai.  But handcuffing her to his bed is not…

Annie Parks finds herself in quite a predicament when she wakes in the arms of the hunky but distrustful police chief.  He seems to have a knack for discerning just when she isn’t exactly telling the truth, and he doesn’t like it.  Still, being handcuffed to his bed is much better than sleeping with the fish, and does have its own benefits…

She came to Kauai seeking revenge, but when the object of her fury proves to be a bigger villain than she suspected, she must tell Kane her whole story, trusting him to help her not with her previously planned vengeance, but merely to stay alive!

HelenKay Dimon’s romance novel Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy was a wonderful introduction for this reviewer to Ms. Dimon’s work!  Not having read this author previously, I was not sure what to expect, but found myself intrigued by the synopsis of this story.  Upon reading an advance copy of this book, I found I was far from disappointed! 

The book’s heroine, Annie Parks, is a sassy, strong and undeniably intriguing character.  It is no wonder the hero has a hard time letting her go, even when she is driving him bonkers with unmistakable lies and half truths.  See, Annie did not exactly come to the Kauai island of Hawaii for the most upstanding of reasons, and telling the Chief of Police does not strike her as the smartest way to handle her current jam.  Then again, the handsome Hawaii native is not exactly telling her everything either… 

Kane Travers is a veritable boy scout, with a heart of gold and the most honorable of intentions.  Of course, that honor does not prevent him from lusting after the beautiful little liar he finds himself stuck with.  Kane is an intriguing hero – an upstanding guy with a heart that has been closed off, afraid to love and lose again.  Yet he believes in love and family with every fiber of his being, and longs for that which he believes he cannot have.   

Dimon weaves an intricate suspense plot with the romance, providing plenty of surprises near the end complete with some tension filled action scenes.  Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy is a fun romantic romp that will have you laughing, biting your nails, and leave you ultimately satisfied with a neat little happy ever after!
