Publisher's summary

Single mom Haley Turnbow escapes to the tropical Isla del Sol for an ideal vacation with her five-year-old. She's planning on lazy beach days, great food, and a happy kid. She doesn't plan on the resident hotel ghost stalking her and the island's fine-looking owner drawing her in with his confident, fun personality.

Cal Johnson is king of his own island, happy and busy. Thoughts of a family are on the horizon but always seem out of grasp - until a beautiful mom and her wild little boy flip his world upside down. He falls in love with both of them. Realizing they're going to leave at the end of their vacation, he does everything in his power to capture Haley's heart.

Haley and Cal may be able to enjoy a vacation romance, but can what they feel translate to the real world? Only a giant leap of trust will give the answer.

Had to quit listening-absurd

I raised three boys by myself without any help or money. The complete lack of control that this mother had over her one child was absurd. I had one child that was extremely active yet he knew if he didn’t behave we weren’t going anywhere I would turn us around and take us right back. My kids at this age were much more well behaved. Making her such a Pollyanna is normally OK except for it’s been taken to the extreme...This book is an insult to single mothers everywhere

Clichés are better when we'll written

It's a cute story a woman who takes a leap of faith with a man she met on vacation, but the holes in logic are so large, you have to take many leaps just to make it through them.

Good but hypocritical as usual

I've read all the billionaire pact series. This is the 1st I enjoyed all the way through. I liked the little boy to a degree, but he is badly behaved, and I did not find her to actually be a good mother. She lacks common sense, and the little boy, while often funny, was the one in c9ntrol of the patent. The problem is they are ALL so hypocritical! The women from every story are all pathetic before they meet their billionaires. They plead that money is not important to them yet... THEY MADE A PACT TO MARRY BILLIONAIRES!!!

Another thing that irks me about the pact is that the "losers" who don't have the good fortune to marry $cha ching$ have to humiliate their grooms by standing up at their wedding receptions and sing the camp song. So basically singing I married less of a man and this is my penance, sorry honey that you're not good enough. Can you imagine? These women all claim to be "Christians" because they don't actively spread their legs, but gosh, are they ever shallow about everything else in their lives, especially their looks! Luckily, all the books are read by an awesome narrator, and they are free.

Clean romance

I really enjoy a good clean romance. They are so rare these days in the insane world we live in. It has interesting characters and a good story line.

Taz is everything

Absolutely loved this story! Taz is the best kid in a book in a very long time!

Loved it all

Who has raised children and thinks they are angelic all the time? Taz was real. Kids can open mouth and embarrass parents with great ease.

ok

I have read all the books in this series and this was my least favorite. I thought the kid Taz was annoying. I felt the m9m should of had better control over him. The rest if the story was OK.

Haley's mad Cal did not reveal all in 4 days

Haley is frustrating and judgmental. Cal has done nothing but prove he is a great person. Her friends even assure her he is. She assumes the worst about him and thinks he is a liar. She also gets mad he did not reveal everything about himself in the four days they knew each other.

The kid is too much

I could barely finish this book. The kid was too much and very annoying. As a single mother there is no way my child would have ever thought of acting like this. It was overboard.

Thanks for another good one.

Another good story with many ups and downs, suspense and romance without unnecessary sexual situations.

Brilliant instalment

Enjoyable from start to finish. Lots of thrills and spills to keep you interested. Recommended

Taz rocks

This is the best book in this series so far, Taz is fantastic and brightens up every characters lives. The love story is mediocre but that funny little boy brings fun and endless amusement. This ia the most I’ve laughed in months. 😍😂

Love this series

Another great book in this series. Really enjoyed the story, characters and narration. Going to get straight onto the next book in the series now.
