Okay so the premise of this was so interesting. I was hoping to get some real 'survivor' type reading. I love stories about people trying to survive in situations where it seems impossible. However, this book was written so badly it was infuriating. I tried to get through it, but it was such a slog. The POV jumps from the hero to the heroine without notice. One sentence will be her POV, the next will be his. It's very confusing. Don't even get me started on what happens after they get off the island. Infuriating!The leads are very one-dimensional. The hero has a typical tragic back story. This one was a little exaggerated and ridiculous. I liked that Nicole was strong, and didn't let the hero boss her around... but then she let him boss her around. She was constantly asking permission to do things. And he was the only one that had any kind of survivor skills. She didn't really bring much to the table.They're only on the island for half the book, and there's not much focus on surviving. They're always just making googly-eyes at each other and then humping. I don't know, I just wanted more about how they actually survived.The grammar is not great. There is a lot of missing punctuation.Not my cuppa tea at all. Sad about this one. The premise had so much potential!
