I got this book in ARC format and I swear I was just going to read a few pages. But it was soooooo good I could not stop myself from reading it. Yes its a novella so shorter than long books but it really was the perfect size, especially if you are the type that can't put a book down. We even get to see how cute Marco is after the book ends because it has an epilogue giving you a glimpse of the next book in the series for Gee.Now about the story its not a super hot story, so if you are looking for lots of sex, you won't find it described graphically here. If you want a wonderful story and a very romantic read then this is a book you will love.Marco is the quiet one and he has the hots for his neighbor who is 25, hot and used to guys thinking of her as a friend. Even when Marco tries to tell her he LIKES her, she still thinks its a pity date. They really are well matched in that they essentially are quiet, private people and Alana Kailikea is rich, and pretty famous in Hawaii which is where this book takes place.Her family was killed when she was 18 and shortly after, a scummy guy found her and they got engaged, then broke her heart because he was after her money. Since then she has her best friend Colin and his grandmother to be her family, but she misses her family. Enter Marco, who is a SEAL stationed in Hawaii, who likes Alana but is afraid to get involved with his landlord. That is until all his brothers come visit and start making him jealous.I am not going to spoil anymore of this story, except to say, they fall in love and thats the magic of this story. The story is full of the magic of falling in love and Melissa Schroeder did a fantastic job making me fall in love with not only Marco but also Alena. I cannot wait for her next book.
