Fast-paced suspense meets sweet romance in this enthralling story by bestselling author, Jennifer Youngblood
Indigo Quinn doesn’t go to college in Hawaii to escape her high school sweetheart, but she does need a break from all the pressure he’s been putting on her to settle down. While her head knows she should be sensible, her heart craves adventure—a chance to really live, to find something more! But when adventure comes in the way of Keoni Alana, a former championship surfer with movie-star looks and piercing green eyes, Indigo is unprepared for the sparks that fly.
Intense attraction gives way to a tender romance as Indigo is pulled into Keoni’s enchanting and exotic world. But Keoni has a complicated past and a billion-dollar inheritance on the line. The idyllic island setting takes a darker turn when Indigo fears she’s being stalked and unwittingly becomes the pawn in a web of deceit as Keoni rushes to save her.
Caught between duty and love, Indigo and Keoni must decide how much they’re willing to risk to find out if love really can change everything.

Jennifer loves reading and writing clean romance. She believes that happily ever after is not just for stories. Jennifer enjoys interior design, rollerblading, clogging, jogging, and chocolate. In Jennifer’s opinion there are few ills that can’t be solved with a warm brownie and scoop of vanilla-bean ice cream. Jennifer grew up in rural Alabama and loved living in a town where “everybody knows everybody.” Her love for writing began as a young teenager when she wrote stories for her high school English teacher to critique. Jennifer has a BA in English and Social Sciences from Brigham Young University Hawaii where she served as Miss BYU Hawaii. Before becoming an author, she worked as the owner and editor of a monthly newspaper named The Senior Times. She now lives in the Rocky Mountains with her family and spends her time writing and doing all of the wonderful things that make up the life of a busy wife and mother.
Indigo and Keoni were a fun couple to read about. From the first moment that they see each other there are sparks flying! They seem to have this connection pulling them together and yet everything around them seems to be pulling them apart. Will their budding love for each other have a chance or will sinister forces prevail in breaking them up.
The opening scene was a little bit of a nail-biter and kept me hooked from the get go. I was shocked, I couldn't believe what was happening. Then it ends and jumps into the thoughts and perspective of sweet Indigo. She's leaving everything she knows behind to follow a dream. Yet when she arrives in Hawaii she is torn between the memories of her past and the pull of her future.
I loved the grandma! She was awesome. I loved her desires for Indigo to not settle but to follow her dreams and take a risk in life. There are several secondary characters that will keep you on your toes so watch out and enjoy the ride!
Content: Clean. Kissing, some moments of suspense but nothing graphic. Talk about drowning, and death.

Jennifer Youngblood did an excellent job of setting things up in the prologue!
Love, love, love! What do I say about this book? I LOVED IT! Unique story, mystery behind though it was obvious to figure but didn't take away from the book at all. LOVED every bit of it. I love the meaning behind names thing. I have such a unique name that a person who puts names to phrases and scriptures had to pray and get inspiration for my name. He did for everyone like that but mine took extra time. So awesome how that works.
I really love Jennifer Youngblood's books but this book bogged down so badly in the end that I just about gave it a 4. The writing was great until the author tried to end the book. The last pages were almost torture to read. Fortunately, the epilogue was interesting enough it saved the book.
Jennifer writes with such passion. Her attention to details transports you to Hawaii and it's almost like you were there. Loved the characters, especially Grandma Kim and Tamas. Hard book to put down once you start reading. Everyone should experience this kind of forever love! Hey that would be a great title for a book; "This Kind of Forever Love." Wink, wink! :-)
Interesting story of betrayal, lost love, heritage and God's divine intervention. You will enjoy learning about Hawaii and it's culture. There is a twist you won't see coming in the end.
Loved it! It was a great mix of suspense, romance and danger. I love how they meet and the i love the dimensions to the characters. Great storyline as well...it has a great back story. Well done!
This a a beautiful romance set on stunning Hawaii. With wonderful, believable characters and some Hawaiian history this book has everything you need to escape into another world for a while. I thoroughly recommend this book.
Loved the storyline. Money makes people evil and they will do anything, even murder. So happy things worked out for the wonderful couple in this story and their expanding family.
