#1 national bestselling author ReShonda Tate Billingsley takes off on an adventure of romance, passion, and just a touch of suspense . . . set in one of the world's most exotic locales. After her company is bought out by a tabloid magazine, career-driven journalist Ava Cole is less than thrilled to be covering celebrity fluff stories--even if her first assignment sends her to Aruba for the high-profile wedding of pop star India Wright. Maybe a solo excursion far from home will help her forget about her crazy family and her suddenly ex-boyfriend, who seems to have trouble with two simple words: "I do." It doesn't take long for the steamy island atmosphere to work its magic, and Ava finds herself enjoying a sexy flirtation with Cliff, the photographer shooting the singer's nuptials. Just as their attraction heats up, Ava uncovers a bombshell of blackmail, deadly deceptions, and international intrigue that will all but destroy India Wright. With ominous threats closing in after the story leaks, whom can Ava trust with her explosive information, her heart--and her life?
This is my 8th read by this author and this one did not compete with her other great work. As the author stated that this was not her genre, I totally agree, and I hope she will steer away from this genre. It is a basic island story of a writer trying to dig up information about a pop star. We all find out that things in Aruba does not operate the same as the United States as Ava plays this mouse game of conquer which wreaks havoc on her and her sister life. Ava, as the aspiring great writer appears rather quirky as she tries to solve a mystery but find she is the mystery along with her sister Mia. Mia is an annoying little sister who needs to grow up. I hated the cat and mouse game that Ava played with Cliff. I'm glad this is over.
Please, Reshonda, no more of this genre. I still support you as long as you continue to write what your heart tells you is the truth about everyday folks that you continue to bless.
