Ben Strong and Dan Swift wanted more than the reservation they grew up on offered and joined the Montauk Police Department. They have never forgotten Carlee Davis. She had captured their hearts when she snuck away from her family and kept coming to the reservation when she was sixteen but they walked away.

Carlee wants to finish art school but has to take over her family’s business, according to her aunt’s will. Carlee hates the family business and she knows her family resents the fact she is now in charge, though she tries to work things out with her cousin. Her aunt’s stipulation causes Carlee’s life to be threatened.

Kissed by the Sun is a good suspense story that has a lot of flashbacks throughout about the summer Carlee went to the reservation. Sometimes they were a little distracting. The relationship that Carlee, Ben and Dan have is a little volatile, though I waited with baited breath to see how the author was going to resolve the obstacles. The descriptions from the author left you in no doubt about their feelings for each other, but their childhood friendship colors a lot of what happens between the three of them. A few of the situations feel a little out of place, but I did enjoy the interactions between the three main characters.
