A review by agirlacatandbooks
The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by Elizabeth O'Roark

4.0

A pop star and a doctor. Drew is invited to a family vacation in Hawaii with the Baileys. Her ex, Six, invited her in hope to rekindle their relationship. When she was first introduced to their family, the other Bailey brother, Joshua said some offensive words about her. Since this, she has thought of him as an enemy. While on vacation with him, she realizes he is not who he seemed to be. Chemistry develops between the two, and she realizes she may have bee with the wrong Bailey brother.

This gave me unhoneymooners vibes in the beginning. I loved the subtle banter between Josh and Drew. This book involved some deep topics that I wasn’t expecting. Drew deals with some tough things and had a rough childhood. She also struggles with being a celebrity, and she’s bossed around by her manager. The little element of action involve with Josh working as a relief doctor in Somalia was fun. The spice was also a plus.
