Beautiful palm trees. Warm ocean water. Idyllic sunsets. Sounds like heaven, right? Not when you're head-strong Jo Bowen and forced to attend a work trip with your obnoxious-yet-attractive coworker, Jack Lancaster. How can she survive four days in the Florida Keys with the grouchy man she wants to throttle more often than not? When her toxic ex-boyfriend arrives at the same conference, Jack doesn't hesitate to jump in and act as her current love interest. Jo discovers there might be more to her infuriating nemesis than meets the eye. Maybe it's the island air, or maybe it's the time they spend together, but soon their mutual hatred morphs into attraction. How can it not when Jack looks at her like she's the only woman in the world? It's easy to pretend they're a happy couple in front of strangers. With the real world looming beyond their temporary paradise, Jack and Jo must confront their feelings and new opportunities. They will either find themselves on the path of happiness... or the path of destruction.

"I was pretty excited to get my hands on this book thanks to its summary (I lovelovelove themes&tropes like that), but then I was disillusioned pretty quickly. Firstly, it's clear the author is very inexperienced. The dialogs are very weak, although they take most of the space. They simply aren't realistic enough. Worse, the main male character is the same: I really don't feel like I'm reading about a person, more like a bunch of clichés thrown together to make an incredibly attractive character. It doesn't work. Jack is pretty much as far from a real person (even if he's fictional) as he could ever be. Moreover, the pacing is weird. Too many things are happening so quickly that I'm unsure if I'm only in the beginning or close to mid-story. Overall, good idea, interesting tropes, but this book needs a lot of work. I hope the author gonna recycle some ideas and publish something better in the future."

"I am in love with this book and it may end up being my favorite of the month. I had it on my list because the author is on bookstagram and I wanted to support her by reading it. It truly was amazing. There were parts of this book that were difficult to read due to personal reasons, however before the first chapter even began, trigger warnings were given which was appreciated. I think everyone needs to take a chance on this book."
