I really liked this book. The heroine, Emily Donahue, is likable, naive, trusting, and a virgin. Emily has avoided men ever since being cornered at a frat party and very nearly raped during her college years.Ash Bristol is handsome, rich, and deeply wounded, having been sought after by many women (including a wife) who wanted him for his fortune, rather than for him. Determined to protect himself, Ash has a rule about women: one night -- and one night only -- no exceptions.When she first spots Ash Bristol across the floor of a crowded bar room, Emily is sure he is 'the one' she has waited for.The story of how these two wounded people eventually find themselves and each other is touching and uplifting. Sabrina York is one of my favorite authors  The Tryst Island series is the story of a group of young friends who have pitched in together to purchase a vacation home on Tryst Island to share. The series follows them, as each story tells of how one of the friends finds love.I was given a copy of this book in return for an honest review. But I would have bought it and my review would have been the same, in any case. Slanted more to a young or young-at-heart audience, this series is fun and entertaining. I like the writer's style and appreciate the fact that there are very few typos. I also love that each of her stories stands on its own and is not merely an introduction to the next book.
