by Jessica Clare
Characters: Logan Hawkings, Bronte Dawson
Billionaire Logan Hawkings needs a vacation.
He’s had a rough time after the death of his father and the betrayal of his fiancée. But with a visit to a recent business acquisition—a private island resort in the Bahamas—he has a chance to mend his broken heart.
When a hurricane blows in, a misplaced passport and a stalled elevator bring Logan together with an unusual woman named Bronte. She’s unlike anyone he’s ever met—down to earth, incredibly sensual, and even quotes Plato.
She also has no clue that he’s rich…
Bronte Dawson, a waitress from the Midwest, is stranded with the hotel’s domineering yet sexy manager Logan. What’s the harm in a little fling when it’s just the two of them, alone in paradise? But after several steamy island nights in Logan’s arms, Bronte’s ready to give her heart—and her body—to the man in charge.
But she soon discovers there’s more to Logan than he’s told her…a billion times more. Now, Bronte’s caught in a whirlwind affair with one of the world’s most powerful men. But can their love endure their differences or will it all just blow over?
This book was a quick read, with likeable characters. Jessica Clare got quick to the point, so you didn’t have to wait for something to happen. Though, in my opinion, it got to fast. Bronte Dawson and billionaire Logan Hawkings fell for each other after one day, while being stranded on an private island resort in the Bahamas. Then they come back to ‘real’ life, where Bronte finds out that Logan has been lying, and she runs. And i don’t think he fought much to get her back.. He just showed up one day at her new job and they agree to date, so they can get to know each other for real.
The book, for me, was to typical. “Bad-Boy” (not so much) with a troubled past and a shy, stubborn girl/woman and the two fall fast and hard to quick. But the book had a alot of up’s, and many good moments.
Rate: 3 stars.
