🦜 Romancing Miss Stone 🦜

Tropes: Opposites Attract, Hurt-Comfort, Insta Love, Grumpy Sunshine 🌞

Bo Ferguson is a quiet homebody who suddenly receives a notification from his fiance that she's breaking up with him...over text. Not taking the break-up text as the end of his relationship, Bo decides to be spontaneous and book a flight to Belize to confront his destiny (capital 'D' Destiny that is - his fiance). 

Alex Stone is a fiery tour guide in desperate need of money to pay back a loan she took out on her travel company after the loss of her father. In dire need of funds, she might have just found her meal ticket in sweet and simple Bo. 

But when sparks fly between the two will they discover the missing piece they've been looking for in each other or will Bo's mission and Alex's own past heartbreak get in the way?

I enjoyed the banter and how Alex walked Bo through his panic attacks - they had good chemistry and were sarcastic with each other but they also knew when to stop pushing and be real. 

Overall this was a cute rom-com reminiscent of its parodied namesake, Romancing The Stone, with lower stakes and a fun role reversal.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Publishing for the eARC copy!
