'[A] dreamy vacation romp.' Today

More than just a holiday romance…

Genevieve Raymond is a workaholic. And after opening a hot new hotel chain location in Panama, she’s on track for a big promotion. But first, she needs a break.

For two weeks, Gen is set to explore beautiful beaches, shimmering waters, and the scorching-hot attraction she shares with her driver, Adrián Nicolas.

After a family tragedy, Adrián refuses to prioritise his work over his life. And Gen can’t help but envy Adrián’s laid-back devotion to his family’s hometown hostel.

But when their holiday fling flourishes beyond sunsets and spice, Gen finds herself questioning the path laid in front of her. With continents between them, a real relationship doesn’t feel possible. Unless they can find the courage to take a chance on life…and love.

Feeling hot, Hot, HOT! 

This book is sizzling! 

The chemistry you could feel from here, it was so strong. 

And the sex...woah that's steamy! 

Add in the fact that most of the book was set in Panama, a beautiful country that I rarely see, if ever in fiction, and a black main character interested in black culture and history of the locations she is visiting, and some LGBT characters too and you have a very exotic and diverse book. 

That is incredibly pleasurable to read, just possibly not in public. 

There is more than just the physical between the leads, and there are some topics that are raised, that are relatable, as well as very relevant to modern day tourism. 

I loved getting to know Gen and Adrian, and also Adrian's family.  I was less keen on Gen's mum but could get where she was coming from. 

It was definitely the gorgeous cover that first caught my attention, but with the way this was written, I know I need to come back for more from this author.  Totally my sort of book! 

Thank you to Mills and Boon and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
