It was just ok. I actually skipped over a good bit as it got rather slow in parts and lost my interest.

Good book A contractor and an interior designer are both matched to repair/remodel an old house on an island off Washington's coast. Several non life threatening accidents cause them to see were set up by matchmakers.

I liked this contemporary romance. Two strong people get hired to do the same job. You would think there would be an abundance of angst and conflict, but I felt there wasn't enough. The characters were likeable, and the setting was described beautifully. It just needed more action, and conflict!

Jennel has a contract to redecorate an older house that turns out to be a hovel on Turnagain Island. Isolated, without electricity, phone or any people nearby, she panics. Young and impulsive and wanting the work so badly, she takes the word of her employer that the house is livable. Now she’s stranded. Zachery Waylan, the man who will be putting up their power and telephone cables, comes to her rescue and is puzzled why she didn’t just turn on the generator or take the stored canoe for her supplies? She wonders the same thing - why she hadn't even thought of checking! How in the world is she going to survive and get her job done in theses extreme conditions? But how can she not when she has no place else to go? An intriguing story that kept me hooked until the end. Well-written, this sweet romance flows beautifully. The setting, the antics of the two main characters and their growing attraction will get you hooked.

I can't say that this book was great but i didn't hate it either. I find it difficult to believe two people would be talking of love after only knowing one another for a few days...but then, this is just a story.
The synopsis made it spud much more interesting than it was and I'm glad it was a freebie.
This book is short and sweet, thankfully no smutty sex scenes, just two people trying to deal with a difficult situation and growing attraction and emotion for one another.
I didn't warm to either Jennel or Zac, they both had deep character flaws that made them very unlikeable. He is domineering and hot tempered, she is naive and flighty.
You won't find any character development or depth in this story, this is just a short love story. I recommend it only for those who want a romance and very little of anything else.

Gave it a try, but this one was frustrating. Jennel seemed naive and clueless. I wanted to scream "buy a clue! Just tell him you are staying on the island. You are an adult, act like it." Not to mention both leads should have smelled a setup a mile away. How many clues can you ignore? I also had a hard time believing they were falling in love. At 57% in, they still had yet to have any real deep discussions, hugs, and have not kissed. It is squeaky clean, has a few great paragraphs but not much romance. It is contemporary but some of the phrases sounded like ones from a Victorian novel. I giggled when the h said fellow and some other words. Not my cuppa but I would think others will enjoy it.

Excellent
This was an awesome story. I loved the storyline & the wonderful detailed description of the beautiful island. This is a good, clean story which made it even more enjoyable. I definitely plan to read more books by this author.

An easy read featuring a couple that are trying to fight the physical attraction they have to each other.
A bit predictable but a nice read all the same.

Frustrating males, meddling friends. LOL This book had me putting it down and picking it back up, just because of frustration. I was getting....aggravated at the plot.

I enjoyed this, it was an amusing quick read. Not sure why it came up in the Kindle Unlimited search for religious romance, although it's not a racy read, there's no spiritual content.

A good introduction to the series that will make you want to read more.
