Title: Island in the Sun
Dominica. A beautiful remote island where the sun shines and the living is easy.
And where Cass goes to photograph a rare stone carving as a favour to her father.
With her is Ranulph, a deeply attractive, much-travelled journalist, who offers to help Cass with her quest.
But Dominica has just been hit be a severe hurricane, and Cass and Ranulph are spending all of their time helping the local community.
Cass knows she must not fall in love with him… He is just looking out for her. He’s being kind.
There is no way he could be even the slightest bit interested in her. Could he?
I absolutely adored this book and read it from cover to cover over the course of an evening.
I was hooked pretty much instantly and was enchanted initially by the descriptions of the Scottish Island that Cass's dad lives on.
And then ultimately Dominica really got under my skin. Especially given it was a visit to a unique Caribbean island in the aftermath of a hurricane.
Seeing Cass and Ranulph get stuck in with the relief efforts, before they even attempted to get on with the other reason they were on the island was lovely to see.
We even have a real villain of the book in Austin - believe in Cass's initial bad feelings about him, she has great intuition.
And I loved Cass starting to develop as her own persons and really come into herself as the story progressed.
This is a really heartwarming and wonderful story, that had me totally absorbed and oblivious to the world around me. Just brilliant.
Thank you to Penguin and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
