The Island House (Getaway Bay Romance #1) by Elana Johnson

  

My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars

Category: Adult
Genre: Romance, Clean Romance
Content: Clean

 

Thirty-seven, recently divorced, and childless. That's Charlotte when she disembarks from the plane in Getaway Bay. She wants to get away, that's for sure. She thought the best way to do that was to buy a run-down house overlooking the bay, knowing she'll need all her fixer-upper skills to get it in shape. Which is just fine. She's hoping as she overhauls the house, she'll get a life makeover too.

She was not expecting a tall, handsome man to be under the kitchen sink when she arrives at the supposedly abandoned house. She wasn't expecting to get drenched when the non-plumber twists something the wrong way. And she certainly wasn't expecting her heart to be well enough to feel anything for anyone.

But former Air Force pilot, Dawson Dane, has a charming devil-may-care personality, and Charlotte could use some carefree laughter in her life. But everything with Dawson isn't sunshine and unicorns. He's estranged from his family, though he does speak to one of his brothers. And he's never committed to anything except his career, even choosing flying over an engagement years ago.

 

 

I've been wanting to read more of this author's books since I read the Relationtrip. This one was a nice brain candy read, which is what I was looking for. There's something about this author's writing that just sucks me right into the story and I had a hard time putting this one down despite some flaws.

There were several loose threads that were left hanging and things that popped up in the story that seem to have had no real reason to be there, which is why I didn't give it 4 stars.
