Elizabeth, one of the bridesmaids in a good friend's wedding, has just arrived in Hawaii with her friends for a girls week out. Max Sullivan, their tour guide, turns out to be an off-track Hawaiian history teacher with a hot body, a great personality, and an instant attraction to Elizabeth. Their relationship is fast and fun, and though the sex comes before the relationship, the two do build a friendship and a desire to get to know more about each other.Elizabeth, who is usually a workaholic, is encouraged by her friends to let loose while in Hawaii and have a fling. She seems to really be on a start to finding her true self as a result of her involvement with Max, but they know that their time is only temporary. There's some conflict when Elizabeth is called home on work-related business, but she and Max are able to continue their relationship.******POSSIBLE SPOILERS******Unfortunately, the book does not have a clearly defined happily ever after. Instead, there is a suggestion that Elizabeth and Max are going to try to work on building a relationship as they get to know each other beyond the bedroom. While I generally don't like open-ended endings, I don't think this one is too bad. If I didn't want to read the other books in the series, I could assume the HEA easily enough. But the book was good enough that I'm planning to read the others in the series.*****END SPOILERS*****For fans who've read other books by Emma Jay (Eye of the Beholder, An Erotic Romance,At the Cowboy's Mercy, an Erotic Contemporary Western Romance), this book isn't quite as hot, but it's still pretty dang sexy. And for those who haven't read those books, I can only say they are well worth the time and effort.
