I had reservations going into this book. I had a feeling I would love it because of how I felt about the first book, but I also am not big on someone falling for their ex's sibling. I was a tiny bit surprised by how much I loved this book despite that trope. (It probably helped that I already didn't like Six going into it.) Drew and Josh were utter perfection together. I loved how they bonded on the Bailey family trip through the islands -- even when they shouldn't have been. They had a true connection once they got over hating each other and making all their snarky comments. I loved them together. Their bonus epilogue novella was also well worth the read. It made me love them even more! The only thing I didn't love about this book were some jokes/comments made in poor taste about Hawaiians, Somalians, and children. I was disappointed by them, and it wasn't like they added anything to the story. I would still say this book is well worth reading for the wonderful romance.
