This is a sweet contemporary romance and I found it an easy read.Becca Daniels has just been given the promotion of her life at her new job. On the same day she becomes engaged to her boyfriend who also happens to be a big shot in the sister company. This leads her to question did she get the job with his connections. She also questions if this is the right decision in both areas of her life, after all if her fiancé can’t get the ring right then how much does he really know her? He certainly doesn’t know she can’t swim so why he is pushing her to have their wedding and honeymoon which includes taking part in an Ironman contest? Surely this is another sign they are not ready for marriage now, if ever?To try and control one area in her life, she signs up for swimming lessons, but on the way there to the swimming pool she has a bump with a guy on a motorbike. Sparks fly and she shoots her mouth off but eventually dashes into the pool area only to find out the hot guy she nearly ran over is none other than her instructor!I liked this light hearted romance and Liam was a loveable character to fall for. He does not have a good relationship with his Olympic trainer father after an injury to Liam’s shoulder put him out of the race for the Olympics many years ago. Liam feels he has been constantly blamed for ruining his father’s dreams ever since.I must say Becca did frustrate me with her over thinking things especially around her fiancé even after she broke things off with him to make a go at a relationship with Liam. She still let him control her and push Liam aside. This further imploded on Liam in that he felt he was rejected again by somebody he loved and feelings of not being good enough as he couldn’t compete with the rich guy. Oh but my lovely Liam there was no competition you won hands down all the way!I have not read either of these authors before so this book was a good introduction. Four stars.
