I received a copy of this book for free, and I leave my review voluntarily.
Zoe Adams is an audacious author exploring the layered ups and downs of love. A passionate writer, she draws her inspiration from a variety of sources. Her admiration for romance books, her understanding of human character, and her observing eye for exciting scenarios are a few of them. But above all, her greatest writing gift is her bold, unapologetic love for love itself.
Elijah’s decision to work at his friend’s resort stemmed from desperation, driven by a need for much-needed funds. The promise of a lucrative and enjoyable position had lured him in, but the reality has been far from exciting. Capturing mundane snapshots of tourists and landscapes all day hardly satisfies his artistic soul, and the relentless tropical heat adds to his discomfort.
On the same island for her friend’s bachelorette celebration, Emma seizes a moment to reflect. Frustrated by her passionless marriage, she’s poised for change. Just as she contemplates a new beginning, Elijah enters her life. A spark ignites between them, but Emma questions if she’s ready to dive into a fresh commitment while still untangling the threads of her existing one.
As their worlds collide, they must navigate the complexities of newfound chemistry against the backdrop of their intertwined fates.
“…I’m glad we got the chance to meet.”
Emma is on a bachelorette vacation, and she is not having the best time. She is lonely. Her husband isn’t a physically affectionate man, and she misses being touched. Elijah is working as a resort photographer, as a favor to his friend, and as a way to make some easy cash. Neither expected this to be a trip that would change everything.
I think this is my favorite couple so far! I liked Emma and Elijah and their chemistry. I also love how well they complimented each other. I found the way Elijah saw Emma beautiful. He accepted her and saw her for who she was.
The build-up between these two was swoon-worthy, and their connection was instant. I found their balance refreshing, and I loved that together, they made dreams come true.
