Island Affair

De: Priscilla Oliveras

Narrado por: Carmen Vine

USA Today best-selling author Priscilla Oliveras launches a new romantic comedy series set in Key West, Florida and filled with humor, Latinx culture, and fun family dynamics perfect for summer beach listening....

Sought-after social media influencer Sara Vance, in recovery from an eating disorder, is coming into her own, with a potential career expansion on the horizon. Despite the good news, her successful siblings (and their perfect spouses) have a way of making her feel like the odd one out. So, when her unreliable boyfriend is a no-show for a Florida family vacation, Sara recruits Luis Navarro - a firefighter paramedic and dive captain willing to play the part of her smitten fiancé...

Luis’s big Cuban familia has been in Key West for generations, and his quiet strength feeds off the island’s laidback style. Though guarded after a deep betrayal, he’ll always help someone in need - especially a spunky beauty with a surprising knowledge of Spanish curse words. Soon, he and Sara have memorized their “how we met” story and are immersed in family dinners, bike tours, private snorkeling trips...sharing secrets, and slow, melting kisses. But when it’s time for Sara to return home, will their fake relationship fade like the stunning sunset...or blossom into something beautiful?

This is a wonderfully sweet romance

This is the first book by the author that I’ve read. I totally enjoyed it and would recommend.

Book was deleted for Book Club

Island Affair was just ok. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great.
I liked Key West as a background character. All the love that was shown to Key West was really great. I liked the chemistry between Sara and Luis. I also like that it was a fast listen. I feel like I didn’t waste too much of my time.
What I didn’t like was the story. It was cheesy and shallow. The problem that both main characters faced was handled trivially. Although both are serious issues they seem to be addressed in a very afterschool special way. Which lead me not to care about any of these people. The worse part of the book was the ending. The book just seemed to stop. The distance was not addressed. Sara’s business situation wasn’t addressed. I don’t know if I missed why he was on forced leave but that wasn’t addressed either.
I would not recommend this book to anyone else to listen to invest their credits.

Just what is needed right now

Such a feel good book. I found it put a smile on my face for the entire ten hours. Simple and predictable story line but well done.

Cute

It was a good story. I loved the family dynamics especially when delving deeper into Luis’s culture. I thought that having Sarah speak Spanish and giving her a connection to the culture through her nanny was smart and worked well for the story.

Decent book

Overall just decent book. Story takes off pretty quickly but it’s a pretty standard no surprise ending. If you want an easy book to read and be able to put it down when you need to this is a good book. Not a waste of time to read but nothing impressive either
