The woman who takes a trip to forget everything after having been dumped by her boyfriend/husband and then meets a new guy has become a standard romance novel plot. This is an enjoyable version for that rather clichéd storyline. The hero is a world champion surfer whom she encounters on the plane traveling to Crete. I wouldn’t have known that Crete is a location for surfing or that there are millions to be made by a champion surfer.

Autumn has her own problems getting over a bad marriage and when her best friend abandons her on the plane on their way to a dream vacation in Crete, the stage is set for her to have a romance with the sexy hunk ogling her on the plane. He doesn’t tell her about what he does since he doesn’t want her finding out the sex scandals he’s been involved in. She thinks he’s just some surfer dude who is poor and maybe homeless. She writes greeting card messages and is from Montana and doesn’t even know how to swim. So clearly they’re meant for each other. But it turns out that they can become good friends in just a few days and even more by the end of the week. Shocker, right? But it was still a fun read and I liked that they learned to enjoy each other’s company before acting on their insta-lust. It made the unlikely plot more believable.

I was given a free ARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is just one of those stories you can’t put down. It flows so seamlessly that I just couldn’t find a breaking point. Autumn and Balen both have broken hearts and are not planning on falling for anyone ever again. Autumn has so many hang-ups that make the story grab the reader. The connection Balen and Autumn is stronger than their pledges and it is so fun to watch the relationship develop. Summer, Autumn’s bff plays a big part to the story between her interfering and coaching. Then there is the part Connor plays in Balen’s life. Again the secondary character adds so much to the story. I really enjoyed all the interaction and there is plenty of hot sex. I hope the author makes this a series since I’d like books about Summer and Connor

This book is a must read
WARNING
*** You’ll want to move to Cyprus and meet a handsome and charming surfer after reading this book.

Autumn is feeling lost after her divorce. She’s turning 30 and she hasn’t really lived her life to the fullest. She is hasn’t gotten over her husband’s betrayal and how he just walked out on her so she lets her friend convince her to go on a vacation and just do things she never has before.
Balen, well he has been told he has to lie low ever since a sex tape got out. He has been a little too naughty since his ex-lady troubles. Being a professional surfer, his agent wants him to clean up his image and stay out of trouble, but trouble literally smacks him in the head when he see’s Autumn. And I mean literally, he gets smacked with a suitcase.
There connection is amazing. Balen takes Autumn on island adventures. She goes bungee jumping, paddling, swimming, and hiking. And that is exactly what she needed. She needed to let lose and stop caring about what others think and man does she let loose!
