Publisher's summary

Fun in the sun awaits you in this sexy rom-com novella by USA Today best-selling author Mia Sosa....

No-nonsense executive Naomi Reyes can't believe she let her boss manipulate her into babysitting Donovan Taylor, the most insufferable creative director of all time. Worse, she'll be trapped on a private island with him, while a bevy of gorgeous models vie for a coveted chance to grace the cover of M-Class Magazine's inaugural Swimsuit Edition - and, if the office rumors are true, an equally coveted place in Donovan's bed. Still, if she survives the trip with no major mishaps, she'll earn a shot at landing a dream job as an M-Class writer. Easy peasy, right? 

Wrong. 

Donovan Taylor detests people who try to undermine his artistic control, and his boss's latest machinations send Donovan to a very devious place. Sure, Ms. Reyes will get her precious photo shoot, but it won't be what she expects. Bonus? Ruffling the feathers of the humorless exec who's never liked Donovan will be satisfying, too - assuming she doesn't drown him in the ocean first.

Let the beach games begin....

Entertainingly predictable

I loved the readers and the humorous back and forth they shared that lead to the ending we all know is coming but with a refreshingly pleasant twist that is not expected.

Narration was good. The narrators did a fantastic job. There were times I laughed out loud. Fun and right to the point. I will definitely recommend this book.

Cute short story

I enjoyed this little story and for those who want a quick cute romance, I would definitely recommend. I do wish the author took a little more time on the romance portion (the love making scene in particular) because it was rushed and kind of juvenile. Also, the female narrator was great but at some points she seemed monotonous (kind of emotionless, just reading and not in character). She has a very soothing voice though and I would definitely pick up another book read by her! (The male character didn’t really have much of a personality and didn’t contribute much so I don’t feel I can really critique the male narrator. )

Short and sweet!

Short and sweet! Honestly I like how this story cut through the back and forth bs and allowed the characters to be vulnerable sooner rather than later. Nice listen for the long drives home in traffic.

Breezy

A thoughtful clever short read with the charm of a situation comedy. Miss Sosa is a talented writer I can't wait to read everything she writes.

great listen

This was a great novella to listen to hike doing my chores. It was actually quite refreshing to not have a lot of filler. The narrators where wonderful.
