REVIEW
Rating: 3.5*
A sweet and charming read about finding love when you least expect it and taking a chance. When Kara and her friend Viv take a cruise, it is Kara's chance to start moving on with her life after her husband was shot and killed in front of her. Nate immediately draws feelings out her that she thought long buried and encourages her to step aside her comfort zone. But it is only a holiday fling, right?
With her friend Viv not exactly displaying the traits of a friend and actually putting Kara down, together with a persistent boss wanting more from her and going about it in a creepy way, Kara doesn't have an easy ride of it.
Whilst I enjoyed this book, it did seem a little imbalanced with a lot of time spend on the cruise and the second part of the plot feeling rushed. I enjoyed the characters and how they all related to each other and interacted with each other. Nate and Kara were definitely very sweet together and you want them to find their HEA.
