Publisher's summary

He saved Peyton Lockhart’s life when they were kids - but now she’s all grown up and he’s a seasoned FBI agent who comes to her rescue again in the new contemporary romance from number-one New York Times best-selling author Julie Garwood.

Peyton and her sisters have inherited Bishop’s Cove, a small, luxurious oceanfront resort, but it comes with conditions: The girls must run the resort for one year and show a profit - only then will they own it.

A graduate of a prestigious French culinary school, Peyton has just lost her job as a food critic after rightfully accusing her boss of sexual harassment. Out of work and in a bad place personally, to Peyton a year doing something completely different sounds wonderful. Peyton dives into learning the resort business but is quickly derailed by an escalating chain of events that puts her life in danger. She refuses to be intimidated - until she’s nearly killed. Then she calls on her childhood friend and protector, Finn MacBain, now with the FBI, and asks for his help. Finn is more than happy to do a favor for Peyton, but he doesn’t plan on dealing with the beautiful, passionate woman she has become.

There are countless challenges and too many people who want to stop Peyton and her sisters from succeeding. Among them are their contentious cousins and a powerful group of land developers who have been eyeing the coveted beachfront property. And it also becomes apparent that her old boss holds a serious grudge and believes in payback.

While the attraction between Peyton and Finn flames bright enough to distract them both from their dangerous situation, a happily-ever-after ending seems all but impossible. But the well-trained lawman never loses focus: He saved her life once; now he must do it again.

Good story

I enjoyed this, it was a fun read. Had some action, romance, and a good story plot. I do wish that we had more inner dialogue from Finn. I wanted to get to know him better and hear more about how he was feeling about Peyton.

Ugh! Awful on so many levels

My biggest gripe is Piper, who repeatedly fails to report sexual harassment despite having a recording, knowledge of multiple other victims, at least two fellow employees willing to lend support, offers to get her an attorney, and the support of her family. Then it gets worse, as she repeatedly fails to call the police when someone shoots at her.

If her moronic behavior towards crime wasn’t bad enough, she’s a doormat in dealing with her gold-digging sister. Finally, there’s her repeated failure to communicate with Finn about their relationship, including neglecting to mention being a virgin until after the deed is done. Who in the modern day world of grown-A women does that?

Was it the abridged format that made the plots seem ridiculous and clunky? Perhaps, although I found McFadden’s voice too comical for the tone of this book, especially that first sex scene, which was written and narrated so badly, I just kept thinking O…M…G… what am I listening to?

“You’re mine!” he whispered, his voice raspy with need.
“Yes!” she said on a moan, “Please! I want you now Finn!”
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Unabridged version?

Good book with good narration. However, it is supposed to be the unabridged version. It does NOT end the same as the book. They left out the epilogue. I like it much better with everything that was in the book. That is why it is only 2 stars, would be 5 if they had finished it.
