Cicely Stevens thought things could not get any worse. First, she lost the promotion as division leader in the corporate department. Next, she walked in on her boyfriend having sex with the receptionist in her apartment. The ultimate worst thing to happen to Cicely was finding out that Chase “The Wolf” Yearwood was booked on the same flight to the Caribbean. In Rivals in Paradise, Gwyneth Bolton shows that rivals in business can also be lovers.

This story was okay to me…I loved how Cicely handled finding her boyfriend cheating. The story picked up once she and Chase Yearwood were in Dahinda and got pass their college hang ups with each other. I guess I was measuring this story by At First Kiss which I could not put the book down and truly enjoyed. Nonetheless, Cicely and Chase do have great chemistry and the cast of characters especially is mother was a welcome delight.
I think if anybody was to read this book, coming from where I'm from, they would think it sounded like a fairy tale. Chase was as caring and compassionate as any girl could hope for. The only reasons Cecile had for not accepting Chase were her misconceptions and misjudgements. It only was fair that after Chase had proven them wrong and Cecile had become more certain, they fell for each other. I can quiet understand that while Cecile is feeling Chase, she can not play it easy. This is a good exam...more
A vacation is well deserved after the day Caricely has had. So off to the Caribbean she heads only to run into her her biggest challenge from college know as "Wolf."
I was looking for a real rivalry. Cicely was suppose to be a dropper of poetry, movie bits, plays and all that, but I only got a glimpse of that in the one chapter. Chase proved that he was persistent. I was looking for more of a challenge, but was meet with resistance.
Cicely and Chase's story is one of moving past misconceptions and your own limits. While I love a good love story it was predictable.
This book was Alright.
The chemistry between the main characters
wasn't HOT, but it was okay.
Overall it was an Okay book.
