Luck and Last Resorts

My ReviewNina likes her life exactly as it is. She and her best friend Jo spend most of the year on a ship surrounded by sea and sunshine. She can’t wait for charter season to start again, to be back in the middle of the hum and zing of her job. And then Jo informs her that she will be on her own this time, That Jo is staying on dry land. Jo has been Nina’s anchor in more ways than one, and the news both disappoints and devastates her. She doesn’t think the world could possibly throw more curveballs ion her direction. And then she finds out that her ex, Ollie, will be the chef for the season. Ollie is handsome and glib, the very essence of easy, winking Irish charm. And he is the closest thing to a soul mate she’ll ever have. But Nina doesn’t want to be tied down. And he’s also a player with a breezy attitude and at least a dozen women on his booty call list. Somehow, they always drift back to each other during the off season. So when things change between them, Nina doesn’t know what to do. There’s a lot she doesn’t know about Ollie’s life. Secrets he hasn’t told her, memories he hasn’t shared. Ollie is at a crossroads in his life. He’s always loved Nina, but knew she wouldn’t welcome that devotion. Now he has to convince her to be his, or go back to Ireland and settle into the yoke of the family duty and responsibility he left behind.I loved watching Nina and Ollie spar, and revolve around each other like two comets hurtling toward the atmosphere, reckless and desperate and full of yearning. In order to finally admit how they feel, they have to move past the casual comfort that’s fallen between them. In order to move forward and embrace the inherent rightness of their relationship, they have to let go of their fear and allow themselves to finally fall into each other’s eternal gravity. This is the perfect summer escape rom com read! It’s full of snark , laughter, banter, insight and tenderness.A huge thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
