Creating a hot Italian SEAL boyfriend to save face seemed like a good idea…until his friends called Canaan’s bluff. Now he’s setting off into the woods with the very man who inspired his deception, and Canaan is not the outdoorsy type. The sparks are already flying when a flash flood separates them from their group, leaving Renzo and Canaan very much trapped…very much alone in the wilderness.
Working together to come up with a plan for survival is sexier than either of them expects. But back in the real world, being a couple is bringing its own set of hazards…(Pub Date: Jan 14, 2019)
I caught this series just now so believe me, this can be read as a standalone.
Canaan and Renzo share mutual attraction but not that much in common, one is a seal trying to move closer to his family and the other has always lived there and needs to take care of his elderly grandfather, after giving up being part of a band. When Canaan needs a boyfriend to go on a trip with his former band mates, it becomes the perfect excuse to get closer to Ren.
To be honest, I expected more from the reviews. I liked how real some conflicts were, you did feel the problems they had and I was even a bit sad that maybe they really wouldn't work things out in a credible way in the end, so that's a great positive. Still, the book dragged too much for me. Some of it also resulted not as sexy as intended.
So while the development of the characters was much more well thought of than would be the norm for this genre, the rhythm made me lose interest halfway. I surely liked the characters, but not the story wasn't enough to keep me entertained. It all came up to a book that received more effort than many but turned out average good as others.
Still, I will be reading more from the author. I could see why people like her so much.
Honest review based on an ARC provided by Netgalley. Many thanks to the publisher for this opportunity.
Rating: 3 out of 5.
