Book Review: Just Another Summer Escape

 

He’s a charming Coconut Beach bartender allergic to forever. I’m the runaway bride with a ticking marriage deadline I can’t ignore…

Cal Bennett was supposed to be a solution. I need to be married before my thirtieth birthday, or I lose my family’s billion-dollar company. He needs nothing from me except honesty and maybe a little fun. So we make a deal. A fake marriage. Simple. Temporary. Safe. What could go wrong?

Except there is nothing fake about this chemistry between us.

Between family dinners and early-morning surf lessons, I’m falling for a man who feels nothing like the cold boardrooms waiting for me back in Manhattan. I fall for his family and his friends. The messy, beautiful island life I was never meant to keep.

Everything seems manageable until I step into my role as CEO and the headlines start circling. New York expects its heiress back. Coconut Beach wants me to stay. And my fake husband is starting to feel dangerously real.

Now I have to decide if this was just Just Another Summer Escape…

Or the one love I’m brave enough to fight for.

My Review

This book is more emotional than the other books in this series. I liked the tone of this book. Where it allowed me to get to know Silvie and Cal better as both people before they became a couple. Silvie could not have asked for a better partner in Cal. He was giving me a bit of golden retriever vibes. 

I was along for this emotional, sweet and steamy journey. As the story progressed, I became closer to Cal and Silvie. As a fan of forced proximity stories, I did like this book. Again, it was the heartfelt moments that I enjoyed the most. Silvie and Cal make a good couple. 

Just Another Summer Escape is a small-town summer romcom with a runaway bride and a marriage of convenience. Each book in the Coconut Beach series is a standalone, and you can read the books in any order! Grab some sunscreen and an iced coffee and get ready to live the sweet life in Coconut Beach!
