Ex marine and bad boy, Mark Moretti, made a pact with his
childhood friends to live life to the fullest and never allow a woman to tie
him down. After years of success and the world at his feet, he is determined to
make that pact a reality. A move back to his beloved Los Angeles threatens to
change the future he had written for himself when the shy and beautiful, Sophie
Barringer, ends up being the Maid of Honor at his sister's wedding.
Sophie has
been burned at love. The last thing she needs is a self proclaimed bachelor to
turn her head. But her heart may have other plans. Forced to spend a week
together in paradise, can they deny their steamy chemistry and stay away from
each other or will they give in to lust and take the chance? Can Mark get over
his player reputation to take a shot at love or will fate be cruel enough to
deny them their happily ever after?

Crystal's Review:
With a
book such as this, just by reading the title you already know what is going to
happen. The one thing that is most
important is how the story has been written.
That will tell you if the book itself is good, or if it’s going to be
just like the many other books out there.
This
book had it’s a good points, parts that did set it aside from others such as
it, in my opinion. There were some
twists that took place that I didn’t see coming, and I enjoy reading books
where I can’t figure it out right away.
But on the other hand, there were also parts of this book that I could
see coming. I think that could be
because I read so much that it takes a lot for me to have NOT read something
already.
The
different characters that were in this book all had their own
personalities. And with how many of them
there are, I give mad props to the author because it had to have been a pain
trying to make each character their own “person”. Another thing with a story line like this,
it’s not always about what happens in the books, the characters, even the
secondary ones, all play a big role in if the story will work out. One thing I enjoyed that she did with the
different characters, even though we knew Mark and Sophie were the main
characters, all of them each had their own time in the lime light. But they didn’t completely take over the
story itself. We were able to see how
everyone interacted with each other.
This is
the first book that I have read by the author, and I do have to say that I
enjoyed it quite a bit. I will be on the
lookout for other books by her!
This book is currently $2.99 US Dollars on Amazon
