Rylan escaped her overbearing parents to live the life she wants at a getaway resort but she’s under no illusions. She knows there are no princes to sweep her off of her feet or happy endings to her story because this is reality. But then she meets a handsome stranger who wants more than a vacation fling and it complicates her life. After all, there’s no way a relationship like theirs could really work, Adam is delusional.

Adam is sweet and funny and Rylan’s likable even though she’s a bit harsh at times. Her family life was horrible so it’s no wonder she’s so prickly. He does everything he can to make her see that what they have is real, but Rylan can’t accept it. She’s so sure that happiness isn’t available to her that she can’t recognize it even when it’s right in front of her face. This is a story about reconciling who you really are with who you’ve always assumed yourself to be and it’s an interesting dilemma. This is a steamy second chance romance that’s equal parts romance and comedy, with a fun supporting cast helping the lovebirds along.
