When a massive hurricane severs all power and cell service to Little Bridge Island—as well as its connection to the mainland—twenty-five-year-old Bree Beckham isn’t worried . . . at first. She’s already escaped one storm—her emotionally abusive ex—so a hurricane seems like it will be a piece of cake.
But animal-loving Bree does become alarmed when she realizes how many islanders have been cut off from their beloved pets. Now it’s up to her to save as many of Little Bridge’s cats and dogs as she can . . . but to do so, she’s going to need help—help she has no choice but to accept from her boss’s sexy nephew, Drew Hartwell, the Mermaid Café’s most notorious heartbreaker.
But when Bree starts falling for Drew, just as Little Bridge’s power is restored and her penitent ex shows up, she has to ask herself if her island fling was only a result of the stormy weather, or if it could last during clear skies too.
My Review: So growing up I love Meg Cabot. I'll admit I read The Princess Diaries well into my adulthood. So I was really excited to see a new Fiction novel by an author I love! But it just fell flat for me.
The main two characters are Bree, who admittedly is dealing with some major crap, and Drew, who just wants to do what he wants to do when he wants to do it. And the book spends more than 200 pages of them two bickering back and forth with each other. You can tell they like each other, you can tell they're falling hard but like teenagers they spend forever admitting it.
I've said before I am not a huge romance fan but if it's good, I'll definitely read it. I am also someone who hates that slow burn. Like stop fighting the feelings and just go for it! And this book was both of those elements. So I think that is why it just fell flat for me.
Book Rating: ⭐⭐⭐☆
