Drew is headed to Hawaii on vacation. Who with, you ask? With her ex, Six. What she didn’t know, was it’s a family vacation, so if her ex wasn't bad enough, add his family to it. And when she gets to the airport, Six isn’t there. He's being held out of the country, in jail. Starting out with a bang.
Josh, Six’s brother is there, and he and Drew don’t exactly get along. But not for the reasons you may think. He has kind of had a thing for her and needs to stay far, far away. To make matters worse, his fling is there, invited by his mom, and now they are all headed to Hawaii for a week.
Despite the bickering between Josh and Drew, Josh is always looking out for her. Swoon. He follows her on her runs, saves her in the ocean, etc. Always there to protect her. But this is just the beginning. Josh and Drew both have complicated lives and neither know how to navigate whatever it is they feel.
This is a really good story..from beginning to end. Josh is so supportive and I really liked him. Obviously, a lot of people love these books and maybe I'm the only one that thinks this..but..what is up with the women letting people run all over them? Don’t get me wrong, I really liked the book. But Drew will tell certain people off, meanwhile her team runs slam over her. It’s crazy! End rant.
I Yearn for You
I started this book one afternoon and did not come up for air until I’d read the whole thing, including the bonus epilogue. You know those couples who barely even touch for half of the book and all it takes is a single loaded glance or tension-y banter or heck, just plain animosity to send a swarm of electric butterflies fluttering through your entire body and soul and you don’t even care if they consummate that tension? More powerful than an actual seggs scene. Drew and Josh are exactly that couple. Gods, this is why I love a slow burn. Add to that the forbidden aspect of this one, and you have more loaded glances and caustic banter and mutual longing. I could read just that all day long.
Don’t get me wrong, I obviously do care about them touching, and of course we get marvelous payoff eventually, but the shot of dopamine that type of ahem, edging, gives you is unparalleled. Who needs drugs when you have the high of slow burns and verbal sparring and mind blowing chemistry and intense yearning? I wanted Drew’s book since the moment I read the blurb, but the real thing blew all my expectations out of the azure Hawaiian waters.
Drew is supposed to be this shallow pop star with little talent and more fame than she can handle, but the real Drew is so much more and my heart hurt for the poor broken girl. Even when towards the end she did something seemingly rash and stupid, it was clearly triggered by abandonment issues and it showed how out of touch most privileged Americans are with the rest of the world. And her growth is a significant pillar of the story. Josh is intense and serious and according to Drew almost too perfect for her, but he’s made for her, giving her things she never even dreamed she could have. HE CARES

The MCs did not seem like a plausible couple and the title makes absolutely no sense for this story.
Didn’t love it as much as I loved the first book but it was ok. More sex if that’s what you’re looking for and don’t like the slow burns. A sorta love triangle but not anything angsty and you always know who the end game is.
