This is the book I’m going to use as the baseline for my category of ~vanilla romance books~

🍦Vanilla Romance Books🍦
- are 3 stars 
- have a few ick moments but not too many that I have second hand embarrassment 
- have a sweet romance but nothing that made me swoon
- have a satisfyingly happy ending 
- are nothing to write home about

Mixed thoughts and feelings about this book. I really wanted to like it because I'm part Ecuadorian and while the plot was strong many other elements fell flat. At times the characters were predictible and at others they were fully fleshed out and surprised me. I was waiting for a spicy scene but it was fade to black which personally I find boring. I like the author's message about ecotourism and the awareness the book brought to the Galapagos. The ending was pleasing. A lovely but unfortunately forgetable book.

I enjoyed the pacing and energy of this book, I recommend it as a lighthearted office romance read! It has almost no spice (Everything is off screen and innuendo) for those that want that information.

This was such a wonderful book! I started reading in the evening and suddenly it was 2am and I finished it! The story makes me long for a trip to the Galápagos Islands, it sounds absolutely beautiful. Even if the main tone was light, the book does deal with some very serious issues, hopefully one day those are a thing of the past...
