Ian has fallen far. From stardom all the way down to the bottom of the food chain. Waiter. After his twin’s death and the fact that Ian feels that it’s his fault that Aiden is dead he feels that he doesn’t deserve better anyway. When presented with the chance to go catch some Vitamin D rays in Bora Bora he is at first, quite reluctant. But his old manager and what he soon discovers close friends draw him out of the shell and into the sun.After letting himself go the last thing he expects is the ever so handsome local Temaru hitting on him. But he does. Shocked, a little pleased and just the tiniest bit flattered Ian decides it’s time to give himself a makeover. Not just on the outside but maybe on the inside too. Now the question remains on whether this new Ian can forgive himself and look to the future - a promising future with a brand spanking new career and a very loyal partner – or stay in the past where the shadows threaten to pull him under.Throughout the entire story my heart was breaking for Ian. To carry that type of guilt around cannot be easy but the author portrayed it in such a way that I nearly felt it myself. From the character that he was to the character that he now is you cannot help but feel the need to take him by the shoulders and tell him that he isn’t the same person anymore.Temaru is a brilliant character. A little too perfect at times – because let’s face it. No one man is so selfless and sweet. Even if we REALLY want them to be. Never the less I really fell in love with him. He worked amazing miracles with Ian’s broken heart.This was a beautiful love story. YES there was enough passion in it to sustain a roaring fire all winter long – but there was also enough caring, tenderness and love to keep a girls heart beating for ten winters long.book provided by the publisher for the purpose of an honest reviewreviewed by Angelique
