Set in 1984, in a world before sexting and texting, this "lushly written and emotional" new adult romance stars redheaded spelling champion Ruby Michaels, who meets the wrong kind of man on the eve of her departure from St. Thomas for college, when fireworks ensue. "I won't be derailed by anyone - no matter how handsome and interesting," she vowed.
But some promises are made to be broken.
Surfer, sailor, handyman Rafe is fleeing grief and his family's opulent lifestyle. In Ruby's passionate innocence he finds a woman he's willing to sail the globe to pursue. "I am a pirate," he tells her. "When I see a treasure I want, I'll do anything to get it."

Sexy Stuff -- New Adult Romance
Somewhere on St. Thomas was a sexy read about a young woman heading off to college from a religious upbringing on a Caribbean island. As a virgin, on her own for the first time in her life, Ruby Michaels is determined to not let her awakening sexuality get in the way of her dream of getting her degree at an East Coast school but soon has three very different men in pursuit of her. One is particularly interesting and mysterious and although he taunts her to the point of it being slightly disturbing, Neal handles the romance and evolution of their equal relationship very well.
This novel is well-written by an author who is extremely successful in police procedurals and now has a budding career in New Adult Romance, Toby Neal. Just a warning though, it's a sexy book with pages of descriptive moments so if you like your novels "Sweet", this won't be one for you.
What a story of true love!
What a sensational love story between two people. The way they meet; their story of coming together as a couple, is beautifully written. Their love sessions amazing, however if you don't like going into detail about such things, then maybe this book isn't for you. I loved Rafe & Ruby's story. I can't wait to read the next book in the story.
Another Strong Series for Toby Neal
I'm a huge fan of Toby Neal's writing and was introduced through the Lei Crime Series. Neal's writing is distinguished by strong plots, well-developed and complex characters, and strong female leads. While the "Somewhere" books are truly sensual romance novels, they are high-quality for that genre because of Neal's strong storytelling abilities.
In this book, Ruby is at a crossroads in her young life, struggling to find her place in the world and struggling with three different relationships. In this story, Neal's strengths in character development shine as she explores how difficult some decisions are - decisions that will impact the rest of young Ruby's life.
Some people might dismiss these books because of the genre, but I urge you to give the series a read, as if you enjoy Toby Neal's Lei Crime Series, you won't be disappointed here.
Five Stars
Love all of Toby Neals books.
Waves of Delight
Like the undulating vast waves ones encounters on the open seas it is with excitement to once again read a Toby Neal novel. From beginning to end you are hooked like a big game fish who can't extract oneself.
