This was a really fun and quick visit to St Helena and the Santini family.
Cristos and Kate are both "mature" characters who have been focused on their respective careers (Divorce lawyer for him, Shakespearean actress for her) when chance and a broken down car bring them together.
It was nice to see characters that are a bit older (40) at a natural crossroads in life and having them be able to connect with a special someone and see what happens next. As a novella length work, we didn't get a deep dive into the story, but that actually worked really well for the situation here. We were able to spend just enough time to get to know everyone and see these two fall for each other.
This is a continuation of a series, but it is not absolutely necessary to read the first book to enjoy this one.

This was a case of a cute idea that could have used better execution.
The bones of an interesting book are here, but the development just didn’t get there for me. Character and plot were two areas that seemed a bit flat.
When I first saw this book was free, the title almost had me not picking it up - my first impression was that it was KU click bait. I only picked it up after checking the page length and seeing that it was reasonable for a full length story.
Ms Wilde is a new author for me - Valentine and Ryder were interesting enough that I am curious about her other work. I think there is promise here to be developed.

Quick and semi Entertaining read.
The focus is definitely on sexy time versus character development or story line. Mindy, Zach, and Ethan are all likeable, but there isn't a lot of depth to them.
It really feels like a story that had potential, but just wasn't developed enough to reach it.
