A sweet, simple, no angst, no frills romance between a small resort-owner and a a guy who's stranded on the tropical island of St Lucia after the airline. For a short story, it was okay in that it all wrapped up nicely like a cute, saccharine fairytale I'd tell my kid at bedtime. Or not.

Sweet, slightly melancholy story about believing. In yourself, in others, in love.

3.5 stars too short and everything too fast

This was a fun, lightweight beach read. Colby Denton owns a small resort on the beach on St. Lucia. He's throwing himself his 39th birthday party. He's had a lot of vacation flings but never anything serious. Theron Bowman is trying to put his life in order and goes to St. Lucia to think. Colby and Theron meet on the beach and have some great casual sex but can life alone in paradise be enough for Colby anymore? I enjoyed the whole Southern Cross Resort and the interaction between the two men. Ms Kendricks has put together a good story to escape with on a hot summer day. I look forward to the next Southern Cross Resort book.

Nice! I like that it's not too short a read that will make you want more and not too long that will make it boring. ❣◕ ‿ ◕❣
