I received an ARC for an honest review.OMG Daisy Prescott!! Each book that you write is better than the last!! How do you keep making each book better and better?And let me just say- Daisy’s first book- Geoducks are for Lovers was awesome. And then Ready to Fall came and I thought there was no way I would love anyone the way I loved John Day!!But now, Daisy has given us Kai. Oh dear God. There aren’t words to describe Kai but I’ll start with sexy, adventurous, sexy and amazing!The story starts off with our heroine, Selah, spending some time in Amsterdam before spending six months in Ghana for work (and some play) and while there she meets up with Gerhard.Anyways as much as I love Gerhard and Kai- I really also love Selah. She does do somethings towards the end that make me want to throttle her. But overall- she’s strong and amazing and I want to live her life!!This book is so good and so much happens, but I can’t really say much more because there are twists and turns that happen that are total spoilers.What I can tell you is that this book is amazing. It’s full of life and love. And it’s so real. The time that Selah spends in Ghana makes me want to get on a plane and travel the world. The relationships she has with friends and lovers alike are the best kinds of relationships.I think what I love the most about Daisy’s writing is that she has characters that are older. Most of her characters are in their 30′s and often their 40′s. Now- don’t get me wrong. I love stories about younger characters. But there is something really nice about reading about older characters. These are people who have lived and loved. They know what they want and that’s what makes their stories so interesting. As adults- we so often think we know what we need and want and then life just takes us by the balls and shows us what we’re missing.That’s exactly what happens to Selah. Selah loves men but she feels no reason to be tied doyn to anything or anyone overly serious. She enjoys her relaxed affairs and her sexy pirate novels! But as always life throws her a curveball and it’s up to her to decide what to do with it. The journey is a perfect blend of sweet, sexy, funny, heart wrenching and maddening.I highly suggest you pick this book up. You don’t need to read the others as they are all standalone novels, but you’d be missing out if you don’t pick those up too!Job well done Daisy. Another excellent book!!
