Riding the Surf

Hawaiian Crush #5

by E.L. Todd

Derek wasn’t always the man he is now. After repeated mistakes, a life that lacks any morals, he finally feels remorse for what he did to Nancy, one of his closest friends. Now that all of his friends are paired off, the loneliness sets in. He wants—needs—to feel connected to someone. The only problem is, there is no one that catches his eye.

Until Paola…

A professional surfer with a confident attitude, Paola doesn’t need anyone to take care of her. She’s independent, intelligent, and beautiful. Derek immediately falls for her, and when she rejects him, he only works harder. He may have been a jerk in the past, but his bachelor days are over. He’ll only have one woman, whether she takes him or not.

*** I received an ARC for an honest review ***

First off I must say I was dying for Derek to redeem himself in this book, I just can't help but love him and I was pleasantly surprised he was above and beyond my expectations!! I also liked the introduction of Cheyenne, I would love to see more of both her and Bryce ;) Paola is another fantastic addition to the group, she is so unlike Sydney, Nancy and Ren and having that different personality really does keep the group dynamic interesting. I love it that you still see plenty of the other characters whilst still focusing on Derek and Paola. And I always love Sydney and Coen's bickering! I loved how the story played out and its definitely one of my favourites from this series! I can't wait for the next book :D Thank you once again E.L. Todd :)

This series gets better and better, I can't put it down. I was really glad that Derek was getting a story.. I know what he did to Nancy but there was just something about him that made you want to root for him and for him to find his soul mate.. I love him and Paola together and I am glad how it ended. Can't wait to read what comes next

Creo que con el cuarto libro ya termino la serie a pesar que son 6 libros. Me encanta que cada uno se concentre en un personaje, sin embargo, la historia en el cuarto libro siento como que ya la leí. De hecho si, hasta mencionaron el nombre del libro. Fue una version mucho más ligth, pero me gusto.
