Review:  This book was like a breath of fresh air for me. I've been trapped in another romance genre and I needed a break.  I've read several of Karen's books for the Desire line and I've enjoyed each one and this one was no different.

Allison and Zane's story was a light read, with just about enough spice and drama to leave me satisfied.

File this under Friends to Lovers and brother's BFF.  Allison's brother Sean and Zane have been friends for ages and there is rule that Zane shouldn't put the moves on his friend's sister. It is a shame these two have very different ideas.

Both need a vacation and they end up on Allison's aunt's resort in the Bahamas. Things get a little spicy when they get there, but it takes a lot of time to get to that point, because Zane has a hard time getting past his promise to Sean. A hurricane gives them the perfect opportunity to get close.

There's a lot of tension between the two as Zane needs to work through his promise to his friend and Allison has a secret about her job that she knows will anger Zane.

The story read like an episode of your favorite soap opera. (Well if there were many of those to watch these days)

If you are looking for a great quick read, this is definitely it.
