Sandcastles In Rhodes
Amid the vibrant mix of visitors flocking to the glistening shores, Nico remains distant, not drawn to the lively crowds but to the treasures they bring. Emotions long forgotten awaken within him when a captivating vision of beauty graces his humble establishment, Aphrodite’s, leaving him enchanted yet confused.
Cali, once dreaming of a sun-filled honeymoon, now arrives on the island transformed, rising like a phoenix from the ashes of betrayal.
Under the blazing Grecian sun, they are compelled to confront the ghosts of their individual pasts. Leaving them to question if this fleeting magic that sparked a fiery passion within their hearts, has the strength to heal their wounded souls or if it will vanish like sandcastles swept away by the tide.

So rude of this author. How dare they draw me into this book??? It’s sucking me in like a tidal wave! The sheer audacity!
No seriously, the amount of raw grief and emotion in this novella is sublime like an ocean full of love and remembrance.
Following Nico on his journey after losing his wife and daughter, as well as running his restaurant and F the pain away trail of one night stands. No one can replace them.
Cali and her would be honeymoon post betrayal of her own *********** as she runs back to Greece to have her mini vacation…. This is definitely about to get wet, and I don’t mean the beach.
and the amount of LUST and tension…. As well as infertility and grief representations…..
This was the exact thing I needed to read

HOT AND SPICY!
Sandcastles in Rhodes' is a book so graphically raunchy (I'm looking at you Mr. Hairbrush) that i found myself blushing a few times. Yes, me. If that doesnt tell you the level of spice in this story then i dont know what will.
But beyond the sex, Raven has crafted a fantastic tale that dives into emotionally wrought themes such as love, loss, betrayal, and ultimately, salvation.
Combine that with her beautiful, lush descriptions of the scenes and settings, plus her interesting side characters, it makes for an intense read that I highly recommend.
