Unconditional is the third book in Melody Grace's Beachwood Bay series but it also works well as a standalone. It focuses on Garret Sawyer (how could he not be hot after a name like that?) who owns a struggling bar in Beachwood Bay and highly strung 'Ice Queen' Carina. Carina who had been trying to fulfil the role of trophy-wife-to-be, has just faced a horrible wakeup call and is literally running from her old life. With nowhere else to go she ends up at her families old holiday home in Beachwood Bay where she comes face to face with Garrett.I loved Garrett because he's deliciously complicated. He keeps things pretty close to his chest and at first he seems to be one thing but as the story progresses we learn he is so much more. I wasn't expecting his secrets and when the big reveal came I felt so bad for him.Sometimes when I read modern romances I wonder why certain character are together (other than the sex), but I really thought they bought out the best in each other. Carina starts to let go of her insecurities and Garrett tries to trust more. The main problem in any future happiness seemed to be the characters themselves (I wanted to shake some sense into Garrett at times).The book leaves us with a teasing glimpse at the next instalment Uninhibited - I really wanted to know what Alicia's deal is.4 Stars in my Sky!
