Ava is getting married and working her last shift as a flight attendant. The catch - her nemesis, Jack, is on her trip, including their 24 hour layover in Belize. But a day in paradise reminds Ava just how much she loves her job. And her job isn't the only thing she's falling in love with.

This was SO CUTE. I want to crawl into this book and live in Belize. I want a Jack to banter and spar with. I was a Gen to keep things fun.

Ava's character was great. For a fluffy romance, I really felt she went through a pretty significant character arc. While Jack and their entire relationship was predictable, that didn't make it any less fun!

The writing style was excellent, too. Reminiscent of my other favourite romance authors, Sarah Hogle, Sally Thorne, and Emily Henry. 

If you've read any of my other romance reviews, you know your girl LOVES the tingles, and I definitely felt the butterflies reading this... BUT I am docking a star because I was hoping for at least one steamy scene. It was the perfect set up for it, too! 

So good. Worth the read!!
