Have you had a holiday fling? That connection that you make, knowing that its only a short term thing? Something that will consume you, that you allow to consume you, knowing full well that it ends when you board your plane, leaving for your normal life.What if you fall for your fling? What if it changes who you are and what you want from your life. But, what if you think you're incapable of change? What if you deny your own wants and needs for what you think you should do?What happens when you board that plane, leaving a piece of your heart behind and taking a piece of "Island boy" with you?Erin is high maintenance. A control freak if ever there was one, she's describe by her exes as controlling, cynical and conceited.When her best friend, Natalie, and her fiancé (Gunner - who is a total arse!) invite her to the Bahamas with them to help her get over her latest failed relationship, Erin meets Tyler, a.k.a Island Boy.Tyler is Erin's holiday fling. He's hot and takes her mind off her woeful daily life... But there's a look in his eyes. There's something more going on. What happened to Tyler?You're left wanting to know what Tyler's story is. What - or who - happened to him? Left wanting to get to know him more intimately.The location of this story is beautifully depicted and you can almost feel the sand between your toes, hear the waves crash along the shore.I found the editing glitches rather frustrating. Little things (extra or missing words) that could so easily have been picked up and corrected ("...when they spoke and it I hadn't gotten used to that.")I also thought the last quarter of the book lagged a bit. There's a bit to much explaining from Erin and not enough action.However, it is still a sweet story that anyone who's ever had a passionate, fleeting romance will identify with.
