Right after college, Sienna Murphy got a prestigious job and
gained the stability she’d always craved-until work takes her to the
sun-drenched shores of Oahu and places her in the path of sexy surfer Luke
Everett. For the first time, she lets her heart take control. Drawn to his
carefree charm, she makes a spontaneous and very un-Sienna-like decision to
drop everything and stay in Hawaii for two more weeks.
Luke lives fast and wild. When he meets Sienna, he’s
convinced that some no-strings-attached fun is just what she needs. As their
nights quickly turn from playful to passionate, Luke can’t deny the deep
connection he feels. But there’s a reason Luke doesn’t do long-term. He can’t
promise Sienna forever, when the enormity of his past has shown him just how
fragile the future can be…
I was lucky enough to win a contest and get an advanced copy
of this book. I have a read a few other of Redmerski’s books, and have fallen
in love with every single one of them. This one is absolutely no different. The
way she just rips your heart out again and again is something to be expected,
and doesn’t disappoint in this novel. The story of friendship and love was
perfect. She has a wonderful way of showing how the characters helped to better
each other, it was more than just boy meets girl and they both have obstacles
to face before they can be together forever. It was boy and girl meet and help
each other become better people, form new outlooks on life, and heal parts of
themselves that they thought might never be alive within them again, and even
if they can’t be together they still grew. It had so much heartbreaking depth
to it, it was, at times, hard to read (most especially the parts about the
brother). I can honestly say that I will cherish this book and be rereading it
many many times over, and you should be sure to look for it when it comes out
in August (8/11/15 to be exact).
For the rating, this book is a solid 5. It had the love
story I so hoped for, a beautiful amount of depth, and characters that were
amazingly relatable and lovable. The dialogue was funny and cute and realistic,
and overall it was just a really good read.
