This was a good quick read; the writing is good and flows smoothly. The chemistry between the characters is very good and I enjoyed watching them follow their path to love.Grace is the ‘Special Projects Coordinator’ for the CEO of Macintyre Industries, isn’t that a nice title for glorified gofer? She has been sent by her boss to retrieve his grandson Jack from the remote island he retreated to after the death of his wife three years before. While it’s not explicitly stated Grace is sure that her job and future growth in the company depend on her accomplishing the goal set to her. Jack meanwhile is determined to stay in isolation on the island and NEVER return to Sidney. Like I said before the chemistry between these two is great and while they both try to fight the attraction it’s a losing battle. Before his wife’s death Jack and Grace had been friends and she had nursed a secret crush on him. It is my opinion that he had deeper feelings for her as well but he did not allow himself to acknowledge them out of loyalty to his wife (which I liked). This story is all about the struggle: to resist each other; to not go back to Sidney; to not be vulnerable; to not get sucked back in to the company; to not be a door mat. It’s all there and it was fun to watch it develop. I will say however the end seemed a little abrupt and I would have love an epilogue to give us a little peek a bit further down the road. Jack had a cousin Cameron who intrigued me so maybe he’ll get a book and we can have another peek at Jack and Grace there.I received a copy of this book from the publisher through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
