Review:
I
was interested in this novel from the cover and the description of the
novel. It is not your normal romance
story. Yes, you have an alpha type male
but you also have a woman who is not dependant on men. Yes, she has had a secret crush on the CEO
for years but has never voiced that until now.
The reason for that is because … you will have to read the novel. Yet as with all romantic fiction that is, as
ever there was, a HEA.
The
characters are well written with a fantastic back story. Each is rather independent. Ava is a landscape artist and Callum a
billionaire CEO (as they all are in such novels). Initially her intense hated of the CEO is
rather annoying. Although one can
understand that she does not want to have an effect on her sister’s happiness.
The way the two main characters change their stances towards the other is interesting and eventually they form a mutual ‘likeship’. In fact, as is often the case in real life the female grows more than the male and overcomes her initial reservations and realises her HEA.
The majority of the secondary characters were likeable except for Ava’s sister. There was enough of a hook to keep the reader interested in these relationships to not only read this but any possible future novels in the series
Interestingly this one is set in Australia, just to make a change from the US based romantic novels. This is the second book in the series, with the first one presumably dealing with the older brother. I would imagine there will be a further book dealing with the younger brother! I would be interested in reading this, if it were ever to become available on Netgalley.

A
lovely romance ideal for the short getaway when one needs something to read
that is as happy as their holiday setting.
