Love on the Rebound: Hawaii Billionaire Romance Book 2 is by Jennifer Youngblood and Sandra Poole. This book takes place in Hawaii.
Everly Watson was having nightmares about Mitchell’s death again. He had drowned on a trip to dive leaving her to finish her pregnancy and then raise their son by herself. Why she was having this nightmare again was something she didn’t understand. She was back in Hawaii after having married his boss Roland Watson and subsequently divorcing him. It had been five years since Mitchell’s death and a friend of hers told her she had seen Mitchell in Hawaii. Then she received a phone call from Benny Kai, a private investigator wanting a picture of Mitchell. She hadn’t heard from him since. She decided to go to Oahu over the holidays and find Benny and see what he had to say. If nothing else, she got a vacation in Hawaii.
The first day in Oahu, Everly spent at the beach with her son, Jordan. While there a man with a little girl came from one of the houses and sat nearby. Everly thought he was very good looking; but her attention was on Jordan. As she was enjoying the sun, the man came over to borrow some sun screen for his niece. He was very nice and they talked a while. She thought she recognized him but couldn’t place him. When he finally raised his sunglasses, she recognized him as Christian Ross, the actor. She enjoyed talking to him until he got very angry when Jordan accidently got sand in Sadie’s eyes. Then, Christian became another angry person. Everly packed up her things and took Jordan home. She didn’t need another angry man in her life.
She decided to forget Christian and spend her time looking into Mitchell’s death. Finding Benny Kai was her first step. However, everything got put on the back burner when a tsunami warning went out on the island. Everyone was told to go to higher ground. Everly packed Jordan and a backpack in the car and headed out. However, traffic was almost not moving. Finally. she got off the road and started out on foot. A big man who she recognized as working for her ex-husband appeared in front of her, grabbed her arm, and told her she was coming with him. Frightened, Everly fought back. She was going nowhere with him. Suddenly, the fight was over and she was left in the hands of Christian Ross. He wanted to help her as a way of saying he was sorry for earlier. With the tsunami sirens going off, they headed up into the mountains.

Third Time Is the Charm
I really enjoyed this book. There was some mystery to it, some suspense, some action, and some pretty steamy kisses! This is a "clean" romance so no worries about that. It does help to read the previous book in this series as some characters from there are mentioned in this book, although it is a stand-alone story. It doesn't detract from the story but it does enhance it when, as a reader, you can place the characters in context within the story. I would recommend this book. I borrowed this book through Kindle Unlimited but I would definitely consider purchasing it because the storyline is quite superior. I rate it 5 stars.

I really enjoyed this clean romance/billionaire/suspense story. I don't usually care for billionaire stories, but this hero was so nice and loveable, I ended up really liking him. I like the setting in Hawaii as well. I haven't read many novels that take place there. It was a refreshing change. The story moves along at a good pace, and I liked the suspense/mystery aspect as well.
I loved the developing relationship between the h/h. It was obvious they really cared about each other and their relationship was growing closer, but even though she stayed with him in his mansion, there was no sex. Just two people falling in love.

Interesting
I read this book on the recommendation from one of my favorite authors. The story is interesting but I admit the book was one I read but did not feel a connection. I did not get pulled in and care about how it would end. I liked it but did not love it.

Finding love in paradise.
A wonderful escape from reality. This is a fairy tale come true but not without a few setbacks. I love stories about the beach or tropical islands and since I've been to Hawaii before it's always fun to revisit.

Easy relaxing read
This is a fast fun read. Brings up some of the pitfalls of being famous, but also some of the benefits of being able to pay for resources when necessary, and of course, a happy ending.

This is another example of an exceptionally gifted author spinning a tale that makes you feel like you’re a part of the story… witnessing the book as the storyteller unfolds it.

Enjoyable
Another great story in the series. This one brings together some of the characters from the first, brings in new ones and expands on the characters from both.

This is a romance-suspense book. I know they will have a happy ending but it doesn’t keep me from being invested with the characters. Loved it.

Read this a little bit ago, but remember enjoying it.
Moral Note: some peril in regards to an ex-husband who is an intense stalker.

I read this book many years ago before I joined Goodreads. I enjoyed it then and I think I enjoyed it even more this time. I really like the strong characters and the swift progression of the plot.

Put two hard heads together with a potential disaster to create a wonderful setting in paradise. Then add a stalker and you have a book to keep your interest!

This romance has a few different twists and turns. There is suspense, murder, conspiracy that need to be resolved before love becomes a happy-ever-after.

I liked the way they met, the gorgeous locale, and that she was protective of him, as well as her son and mum.

Suspense and romance
A trip to Hawaii during the holidays. What could be better? Maybe not having one of your ex's goons spying on you or an unexpected tsunami. This book has a great balance of suspense and romance.

Okay
It was a good love story. But if I had realized it was not a Christian book, I would not have chosen it. No love story is complete without God being the center of the relationship believe me, I have experience from which I speak. You can't truly love if you don't LOVE!!!!!!

Love on the Rebound (Hawaii Billionaire Romance 2) - PG
Novella sized. 83% into the book on Kindle there's an introduction to a new book.
Desperately needs editing. Cute and definite escapism as all "billionaire" books are!

I loved this one. I loved the clean romance, the drama and mother-child relationship. The billionaire was awesome too. I really liked his character.

Clean, fast paced romance which held my interest throughout. It was short, but that was well communicated so I can't deduct for that.
