Synopsis

Sought-after social media influencer Sara Vance, in recovery from an eating disorder, is coming into her own, with
a potential career expansion on the horizon. Despite the good news, her successful siblings (and their perfect spouses)
have a way of making her feel like the odd one out. So, when her unreliable boyfriend is a no-show for a Florida family
vacation, Sara recruits Luis Navarro—a firefighter paramedic and dive captain willing to play the part of her smitten
fiancé …
Luis’s big Cuban familia has been in Key West for generations, and his quiet strength feeds off the island’s laidback
style. Though guarded after a deep betrayal, he’ll always help someone in need—especially a spunky beauty with a
surprising knowledge of Spanish curse words. Soon, he and Sara have memorized their “how we met” story and are
immersed in family dinners, bike tours, private snorkeling trips … sharing secrets, and slow, melting kisses. But when
it’s time for Sara to return home, will their island romance last or fade with the stunning sunset?

Goodreads review by Lacey (laceybooklovers)

This one took me a while to get into. The writing is cute but cheesy and I loved the setting of Key West (wish I were there now) but the romance dragged too much in the middle for me! The hero is SO closed off, which would’ve been fine but he makes the heroine open up while he doesn’t. I wish I coul......more

Goodreads review by Jasmine

Read this in one day: what a delightful vacation book, whether you’re actually on vacation or you just want to pretend you’re on one. I really liked both main characters a lot — I cared about them and understood their struggles, and I cheered for them to come together. They both have big complicated......more

3.5 stars-- can I just say how lovely it was to read a book filled with people who were just so nice? This is a book filled with nice people (with some glaring exceptions that are a bit cartoony, but just roll with it) who I wanted to see be happy in life. The family conflicts were great & I was roo......more
