BLURB

No matter what I’m not opening up my heart again, even if he’s great at warming my bed.

Jasper blew out of town taking my heart with him. He swore he’d never come back. Last I heard he was some famous chef in a big city.

Then I’m at the farmer’s market and there he is in vivid color. So, I do what any sane person would do, I throw a kiwi at him and leave.

Then a storm blows in washing out the only bridge off this island and now we are stuck together.

To make matters worse? My chef quits and the only option I have is to bring in Jasper per his mother’s suggestion.

Oh, and my best friend is in a fake relationship with a Hollywood Movie Star, and I just saw Jasper with his shirt off.

Plus our mayor working with some land developer and trying to turn our small town into a major tourist spot that will kill all the local businesses.

How did my life get here?

Can we put aside our differences long enough to work together?

Yes, we can.

I think the better question is can we stay out of bed long enough to stop them?

REVIEW

Rating: ☆☆☆☆

After reading 'Sunrise' you will know that Brynn is Lin's best friend and they took over running the family inns when both their parents were killed in the same accident. From the this book, you will also know that jasper is her ex when he didn't understand her need to be with her family when they needed her. Jasper is now back on the island helping run his family's restaurants.

When you meet Brynn in Sunrise you know you are going to get along with her. She is feisty, is protective of those she loves and is very passionate. Her dissatisfaction with him is evident in their first meeting after his return. Whilst she is keen to keep her distance from the man who broke her heart and left her when she needed him most, she needs help in her inn's kitchen and Jasper's mother has nominated him for the job.

Jasper is keen to make amends and win her back. He realises what he let go and won't make the same mistake twice. The passion, heat and feelings are still there and are probably stronger. He is patient, determined and focussed.

This was a good way to bring this duet to a close. A lot of loose ends are pulled together to bring this to its satisfying conclusion. Brynn was a character that was so relatable whilst Jasper won me over with his perseverance and his devotion to Brynn.

Rating: ☆☆☆☆

Sunrise and Sunset Inns work together on this small tourist island, run by best friends Lin and Brynn after their parents were killed together in a freak storm.

This is Lin's story and the story of all things Sunrise. But first we need to start with playboy Hollywood actor Kade. Kade needs a place to hide out after a bashing in the press. He hasn't been living up to his playboy reputation for over a year but he can't shake no matter what he does. His manager books out Sunrise Inn for him to keep a low profile. When a storm wipes out the bridge, he has to stay longer than planned but that's ok because Lin is occupying his thoughts and he has a proposal for her. Be his pretend girlfriend, help his image, and raise the inns' profile. What he gets is so much more. He gets someone is looking out for his best interests and not his money. He gets someone who stands up for him, and is passionate.

Lin sees the benefits for the inns by going along with the plan...in fact Lin is the one who suggests it. But with her ex stuck on the island and the Mayor wanting to bring a shopping development to the island she has her hands full. But she is passionate about what she believes in and is not afraid of hard work. She also doesn't bow down to Kade because of his star status. She challenges him and he her.

This was a good read. A fake relationship always delights me because of the way it becomes real. I look forward to coming back and reading Brynn's story.
