Unable to stop herself, she throws caution to the wind, as well as her heart out into the open for him to catch.

Her initial ‘impact’ upon him has left him wanting more and he’s determined to get it, even if he has to deal with her former boss and his creepy detective friend. Just as he comes to realize she’s “the whole package” his ex wasn’t, she leaves without a word. Angry and hurt by two women in less than a month, he returns home to continue building his fortune. Memories of their time together haunt him and a phone call changes his life forever.

This read was short and sweet. When I finished it I was all warm and fuzzy inside. *sigh*

I really liked the characters as well as the story-line. Because, come on, who doesn't like a sweet novel set in Trinidad??? Even the cover screams 'cute' and 'relaxing', don't ya think? Although, the plastic chaise-longues are just no.

Alicia Danvers works as a paralegal. When her boss gets sick and has to close the office permanently he and his partner offer her a trip to Trinidad. What a gift, huh? Nate Langston is a millionaire who, right when he decides it's time to pop the question, his girlfriend dumps him. With a broken heart and a bruised ego he also goes to Trinidad -he was supposed to propose his girlfriend there. When Alicia and Nate meet, it's lust at first sight. They spend a great week together but some revelations don't let things go exactly as planned...

Alicia was a great character. She was smart and did not lie to herself -ahem- although she did make assumptions. Nate was this awesome mix of alpha-male and awkwardness -emphasis on the alpha-male. I also liked Nate's ex girlfriend, Liz, but before you judge me, she is not what she appears to be.

Overall, if you're looking for a light, relaxing, cute read then pick this one up!

3.5 really I love how it started off but when I got to the end it really confusing. I felt like she was trying to rush it
