I don't know, man. I like cheesy romance as much as the next girl. But I just cannot stand this "we literally met two days ago, I know absolutely nothing about this person except how to locate their genitalia BUT THEY ARE MY SOULMATE HERE'S AN ENGAGEMENT RING YAYYYY" garbage. It's so convenient and lazy.

If you want a happy ending, build a decent story first.

Hawaii Magic: 3/5
Fiji Fantasy 3.5
I generally love Beverly Jenkins and wanted a quick fun read. This was my first Elaine Overton novel. These are 2 novellas, about a single woman on a solo tropical vacation. Two stories, two women shedding their professional selves to be their “real” less inhibited selves.

I did feel the chemistry with Connie and Michael was more evident in Fiji Fantasy, but having just visited Hawaii, I felt that Hawaii Magic set up the scene perfectly for Anita and Steve.
