About this ebook

"Prolific romance author Johnson...has produced an enjoyable slow-burn tale; A particularly appealing element of this book is its depiction of a patient, perceptive hero." — Kirkus Reviews


Question: What do a reclusive author and an outgoing real estate agent have in common?


Answer: Nothing.


But fate brought them together on a vacation five years ago, and as Logan and Sloane prepare for their annual get-together, there are sparks flying between them.


Sloane:

When Logan Murphy, my accidental best friend, calls to say our annual mid-winter trip has to be "redone," he's already got the solution.


Belize. An adults-only resort, and we leave in two days.


I'm giddy with excitement, because I need this trip more than I can express. When I see Murph standing in the airport, my heart twitches to a beat it hasn't since my fiancé left me to tell our friends and family that he couldn't make it to the wedding.


So it's a short-lived twitch, because I'm never going to get into the dating boxing ring again—and least of all with my best friend.


Logan:

I've never told Sloane what I do for a living, and she doesn't know how I feel about her either. But I want her to know all of my secrets.


I want my best friend in my life more than once a year, and I've already started penning a happily-ever-after for the two of us.


This year, I tell myself, as my crush on the vibrant woman is at least two years old now. 


If only I knew how to tell her...


This is a standalone, slow-burn travel romance that will make you smile, gasp, and cheer for Logan and Sloane as they figure out who they are...and who they want—at home or on vacation.


For fans of BEACH READ and THE PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION by Emily Henry, THE LAYOVER by Lacie Waldon, or THE UNHONEYMOONERS by Christina Lauren.

It's been a while since I picked up a book and literally couldn't put it down until 4am. Even then, I put it down just because I had to get some sleep. This was the first book I've read by this author, but it won't be my last! I love a good friends to lovers story, and I definitely recommend this one! It's a perfect summer beach read.

For me this book was really different from other books I’ve read by this author. For one thing it’s emotionally charged. I cried twice near the end because I felt moved by the growth of the main characters. The characters are realistically flawed. It shows a real progression of love battling against fear. The story was about them forging a lasting relationship. I loved the vacations! Great beach read! One bed, but no hanky panky happens. But oh my goodness their first kiss was amazing!

This is a fun idea for a romance story and I really enjoyed it. There are many ups and downs as these best friends/travel buddies try to navigate the possibility of a deeper relationship. Some angst had to be overcome on the path to HEA. The backstory to their relationship is straight out of a Hallmark movie, but then it progresses from there. I found the characters engaging, and the setting sounds pretty great. There was some bed sharing but no sex. This was a good read for romance lovers.
