I was excited to request a copy of this novella from Net Galley to review, because I love this author. Lily Everett has also written as Louisa Edwards, and I just ate up her Rising Star Chef series and her Recipe for Love novels, pardon the pun. Her stories are normally spicy and full of wonderfully engaging characters. I did mentally have to prepare myself for a novella, rather than a full story, which can catch you off guard if you aren't expecting it. Yes, this is short, so the story is accelerated and the intense relationships of the characters are enhanced, but I think the author handled this beautifully. This short story was like getting a taste of things to come. I haven't yet picked up the full length, Sanctuary Island, but after this, I will.It may seem cliche to read about billionaires and their love lives, but Everett managed to make the story be about the characters, with the money taking a backseat. Leo was clever and dreamy and Serena was intelligent and warm. Their connection was a pleasure to read about and you root for them from the very first meeting. This is a wonderfully quick read that will leave you wanting more from this magical, peaceful island that connects soul mates. An absolute pleasure and I can't wait to get my hands on the full length novels.I received a copy of this title from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review
