Holding Out For a Hero

August 31, 2009
Dimon (It’s Hotter in Hawaii
) brings back one of her hunkiest heroes, DEA agent Josh Windsor, with tepid results. Retiring to avoid being let go from the DEA, Josh turns freelance investigator for Deana Armstrong, a wealthy Hawaiian heiress convinced that her 16-year-old nephew has been wrongly convicted of beating his parents to death with a baseball bat. Put off at first by Deana’s ice queen demeanor, Josh quickly melts in the heat of their mutual attraction, but the more he digs, the more he believes that the young convict is guilty. Fans will be happy to see the return of Josh’s best friend, Kauai police chief Kane Travers, but the thin murder plot doesn’t amount to much more than a vehicle for the predictable romantic developments.
