Did you ever go on vacation as a teen, or just ever honestly, and meet someone and have a whirlwind romance and then wish it could have lasted after going home?

This book is exactly that, but they make it work after going home! And throw in Christmas and it's a perfect holiday book!

I absolutely adored Hawaiian Holiday! It's cute, it's funny, it's steamy.

Isla and Cal have instant chemistry, and it's all a whirlwind the minute she runs into him again on the island... Literally, she walks right into him.

I loved that there wasn't a HUGE dramatic climax, that it was all about their adoration for each other!

Fun holiday love story. This was insta-love at its finest. I love how Isla and Cal both seemed awkward and relatable. The love story in paradise with a one bed trope is so fun! I really enjoyed this! Perfect for the season!

Thank you Grey's Promotions for an advance copy to read!

2.5⭐ Isla's best friend ditched her for their two-week Hawaiian vacation and got seated next to a hottie named Cal. Love the premise of this book but it fell just a little flat for me. I feel as though it could have been shorter. There was a lot of *winking* which I thought was a little odd lol.

I loved the characters and the setting and the idea of a vacation fling turning into more though! Loved how free spirited Isla is and that she was able to help Cal let loose and finally enjoy things. Loved Addie, Isla's best friend. And loved Cal's family!

This was cute and this author absolutely has potential, but for now it’s three stars from me.

Ilsa was about to board a plane to Hawaii when she found out that her bestie, who was supposed to join her, overslept and was not coming. Luckily there was a hot guy on a seat next to her, yaay!

I absolutely loved this book. The characters were the absolute most fun. They had wonderful personalities and were energetic. Cal was an absolute dream and Isla was a riot. Both of them coming out of their shy shells was an amazing experience.

Isla's best friend stands her up for their Hawaii vacation. This starts her trip off on the wrong foot, but the plane ride changes it all.

Cal is attending his sister's wedding when he meets the most unusual woman. Shy is a word I would use to describe Cal. But when he meets this woman, there is something about her that brings him out of his shell.

These two characters engage in an adventure that will change their lives forever.

This book was so much fun to read. It was a feel good read that made me smile. I enjoyed this book so much. The comedy in it just makes you laugh and the connection the characters have is pure perfection. I truly enjoyed the book and have now added Elle Jordan to my list of must read authors.
