What a brilliant first in series novel. Meyer invites readers into the island town of Paradise with a flair for detail and a very friendly vibe. She brings the town to life in a manner that makes you want to be there. You really get the small town, hopeful vibe throughout. Not only does she set the town up for future novels in the series, but she also tells a wildly romantic, yet completely believable story of star-crossed lovers. Jillian & Nic were a fantastic pair of main characters. They were such contradictions to one another, coming from completely different worlds yet able to connect with one another. I like how the nitty-gritty parts of relationships came into play here. It wasn’t simply chemistry, then ‘bam, married.’ Trist, compatibility, and a host of other things came into play. The rest of the cast was fun to get to know as well. I loved the personalities that we run into in Paradise. This was a fun, funny, & romantic debut novel from an author that I’ll definitely be following avidly. I can’t wait to see where her pen takes her next. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.
