When
Quinn Rockwell left Rockwell Island a decade ago to build a shipping empire, he
never thought he’d return to live on Cape Cod Bay—that is, until his
grandfather summons Quinn and his four siblings to take over the prestigious
Rockwell Resort. Quinn is already working fifteen-hour days, and the last thing
he has time for is his grandfather’s demands. But on his first night back, when
Quinn finds a gorgeous and carefree woman skinny-dipping in his favorite cove,
he’s tempted to ignore his work for a while…and focus on her instead.
As a
free spirit who follows her heart and her dreams, Shelley Walters is not the
kind of girl to wait around for Mr. Right, so she heads to Rockwell Island for
the honeymoon of her dreams—a solo honeymoon. Ready for a week of sun and fun,
she never expected to meet a man like Quinn Rockwell.
Wealthy
and intensely driven, Quinn is everything Shelley swore she didn’t want.
Refreshingly spontaneous and a true romantic, Shelley is everything Quinn never
knew he needed. Drawn together despite their differences, during a week of
sizzling-hot passion and deep conversations, they fall head over heels for each
other. But when their perfect week on the island is over, will their love
survive in the real world?
Review- 5 Stars
I love Melissa Foster books and to throw in Bella Andre with
her!!! OMG!!! So excited about this whole series! I immediately fell in love
with the Rockwell family, everyone in it!!! What a special family they are and
I can not wait to get to know more of the better!
Shelley is a young woman who has no hopes of ever finding true love and pretty much has given up on it. She owns a coffee shop and pretty much is totally invested in it. Shelley decides to go on a solo honeymoon to scope out a resort to see how their honeymoon suite is and how atmosphere is on the island that it is located on. Shelley never imagined falling in love with he small island life and everyone on the island.
Quinn is a hardworking man that has come to resent the island because of his grandfather's resort that he knows will eventually be his responsibility along with his brothers and sisters. Quinn used to love the island life but since he has built his own shipping company that takes up all his time, he dreads going back to the island. Quinn is not looking for love, just like Shelley but totally invests his life in his business as well.
When Quinn is out on the first night of being back on the island and sees Shelley skinny dipping in the cove, everything changes for Quinn. It was literally love at first sight for Quinn with Shelley. Quinn has no idea who Shelley is but he wants to get to know her and cannot take his mind off of her after that first night.
Quinn and Shelley are a match made in heaven but they also come with their trials and have to learn how to make their relationship work. Shelley also knows that Quinn is her one and only but she has to get past some issues from her childhood that come back to haunt her. I love that these two are so invested in each other once they meet and pretty much change their whole lifestyles to be with each other. They are not totally invested in their careers anymore and realize that they have done the hard work of building their businesses and need to let go a little.
I love, love this couple!!! I was sad to see the book end. This is going to be one great series and I am already hooked!!! This story ended in a HEAFN but I can't wait to see more of these two in the coming books and to get to know more of the Rockwell family!! Thanks ladies for a great read!!!
