I truly adored Xavier and Vivienne so much! Grumpy/sunshine, especially when they grump is sure he wants nothing to do with the sunshine at all... but in fact, he becomes obsessed with her. Always my favorite!! And Xavier and Vivienne were that perfectly!
Vivienne has just purchased a new yacht to spend her summer on, and when she arrives at the dock she meets her neighbor and his very friendly dog. It takes a bit to actually get to know who this man is, as he makes it clear he is not interested in friends... but thanks to the pup, and the attraction neither of them can actually deny, his walls he has tried to erect slowly come down, and they become friends... and soon more. But as the truth comes out about why he has been living on his yacht, away from people, for a couple years comes to light - and he starts to open himself up to Vivienne and a life outside of the bubble he has created for himself - he begins to wonder if maybe things don't have to be what he has made them.
I loved the way Natasha Madison tackled the mental health struggles of Xavier - it was so real and raw and relatable. I loved seeing him slowly start to open up to others and realize that the experience he had had before does not have to be his experience going forward. I also loved seeing Vivienne, who is a woman who doesn't want to push or pry her way into peopl's lives, and someone who has always kind of kept to herself - including a BIG secret about who she really is - I loved seeing her start to open up not just her heart, but her life as well.
There was so much character growth for both Vivienne and Xavier throughout this story!
And holy moly - when they finally admit how they feel and give in... hellooooo spice. Xavier is one hotttttttt man, and I would love to float on a yacht with him ANYTIME!
