Kissing Eden is what I would call a "beach book". A perfectly sized read for an afternoon or evening. It's not terribly realistic, but it's a fun, sexy, fairy tale.A few days before Spring Break, Eden Brady's boyfriend, Brett, dumps her. When she follows through with their Spring Break plans alone, she finds out her ex has taken her room, and it being Spring Break and all, the resort is booked. There's only one place that has rooms on the island. She has no choice. Oh, and no luggage too, because the airline lost her bag.Eden hangs tough though. She doesn't run back home.  She stays at the almost-dump called Palm Palace and makes the best of being alone. I really liked that about her. She makes friends all over the island, and it doesn't hurt that Grey, the hotel "handyman" is young and good-looking. It doesn't take long for them to get together.It's a whirlwind romance, all playing out while Grey is fixing the place up for next week's reservations.  Within a few days, she's helping him get the place ready. She's that sort of girl. There are a few interactions with ex'es that end up badly, and it wasn't a sure bet that Eden and Grey could stay together.  After all, it was going to be hard anyway, since he's in Texas and she's not.And here's where things turn a little bit into a bit of fairy tale. But that's okay, cause I like to escape into a story like that occasionally.So if you like a quick, easy page-turner, Kissing Eden might be a good choice for you.  I enjoyed it. It wasn't deep. It was just fun.
