Spoiler alert: It’s Tiny Island Summer

Thanks to her job, Darcy Rogus, has been relocated to the middle of nowhere. But with her determination to succeed and her best friend by her side, nothing is going to sidetrack Darcy achieving her career goals, especially not a handsome and brooding next-door neighbor.

Ben Hampton has put his life on hold to take care of his ailing mother, and he can’t let himself get distracted by anything, even if those distractions come with enticing hazel eyes.

Staying away from each other is easier said than done on an island of fewer than three hundred people.

I enjoyed this read. I liked that the author did not have the heroine sleeping around, but rather stuck to her own standards. I had to warm up to Darcy. She was a little stiff in the beginning. I liked Eric, Charlotte, Ben and John, though Ben should have been slapped for many of the stunts he pulled. He was all sorts of frustrating. This is a cute romance that is sure to make you smile and frown. I wanted another chapter or two!
I received this book from KindleScout.

Great storytelling–looking forward to the next installment of the series. I’m anxious to find out more about that handsome “bad boy” Eric!!!!
