Last Resort
Katie Fausch is content with her single life in San Francisco. When her lovingly pushy family surprises her with a weeklong trip to a singles getaway humorously named Last Resort, Katie only agrees to go if they promise not to nag her about her love life for a year.
Rhys Morgan is a true romantic at heart. She knows there’s more to life than work and wants to find someone to spend hers with. When she discovers that a local resort for singles is having a “lesbian week,” she has to give it a try.
Amid the sand and saltwater of Last Resort, Katie and Rhys endure the enforced dating of total strangers, group socializing where everything that can go wrong actually does, and must answer the ultimate question: What happens if you meet the girl of your dreams but she isn’t looking for a happily ever after?

This was an okay read. It felt a bit stilted and I had an emotional disconnect from the characters. Also, one of the characters had an insta-love reaction after a single conversation that I failed to understand.

Last Resort by Angie Williams is a contemporary romance about two women who both end up attending the “lesbian week” at a singles resort. Rhys Morgan is looking for her happily-ever-after partner while Katie is just looking to get through the week so her family will stop bugging her to find love. She has no intention of actually finding love, something she tells everyone, including Rhys, who she meets the first day. It’s too bad the chemistry sizzles for both of them the more they get to know each other.
The premise of the story is good, and sets up all kinds of opportunities for a push/pull relationship that hopefully ends in true love. Unfortunately, there was too much pushing away by Katie. It seemed she would never catch on to her true feelings about Rhys, and after a while, I really became irritated with her character. Since I’m a character reader, this is obviously going to affect my enjoyment of the tale. This is a slow-burn romance that ended up being a bit too slow for me.
I did like Rhys’s character, and the secondary characters are well-developed as well. The settings, being mostly places around San Francisco, are beautiful and well described. Other than the one irritating character, and the romance being a bit too slow for me, I enjoyed the story.
I’m giving this novel a 3.5 star rating overall. If you like a very slow-burn romance set in a lovely resort area, you might like this book.

4.1 star for this.
The story consists of your 2 main characters, Rhys who's a carpenter by trade and Katie who work's in the art industry designing greeting cards. Both single, both end up at a week-long trip to a singles getaway called 'Last Resort'.
I really enjoyed this story! Last Resort is a lighthearted read. The book is witty and I did find myself chuckling along the more I read on. The attraction between Katie and Rhys is there almost instantly, the build up is flirty and innocent, and sparks are flying in all directions. I found myself turning the pages just to see if they get their HEA.

Katie Fausch and Rhys Morgan both end up going to the Last Resort which is located right outside of San Francisco. Katie is strong armed into going by her family and Rhys Morgan goes willingly. Katie doesn't want love because she has been hurt in the past and Rhys wants to find love. They meet on the very first day of the Resort and Rhys takes and chance and sits next to Katie and starts up a conversation. Too bad Katie isn't looking for love.
So I overall thought this was cute. Both mains are likable and do have some attraction to one another. Last Resort made for an easy read with light angst throughout the story but not overly done. I guess you can say it was a slow burn. I did find myself wishing that the chemistry between the mains was stronger. Yes you could tell that they liked one another, but the connection didn't push through the story where you felt that these two belonged together. If I had a favorite main it really would have been Rhys. She just really seemed like a dream partner. I did like the concept of Last Resort and I liked how Williams didn't focus on showing how each date on each day played out. The pacing was good, I just wanted more of a connection to show that they would fall in love.
I give this 3.5 stars.

Loved this book - excellent story with brilliant, alive back characters and family. Highly recommended.

Part of reading Last Resort is like the guilty pleasure of watching a dating show and rooting for two people to come together. In contrast to a bad tv-show, this book is great. This is Williams' second book and again I enjoyed it immensely!
At the beginning of this book I got the "Ali Vali"-vibe. And that is a big compliment. Vali is big on family and the vibe she brings in her writing makes me instantly love her mc's. The same happened to me with this book of Williams.
Although both know they click in all the right places, it takes pretty long for Katie and Rhys to get together. It's sad to read and I wanted to berate Katie for it. Katie is very tactile towards Rhys and that give's a great tension to the story. But also it made me feel bad for Rhys to have to endure those moments while knowing nothing will come of it.
When Katie and Rhys do come together sparks fly. Like in the first book of Williams, mc's talk during the sexy scenes. Where I found that a little distracting in that first book because the type of talk didn't suit the character, she did manage to find the right kind of balance for me in this book. The scenes were hot.
Loved reading it and wouldn't hesitate to pick up any book of Williams.

Both leads Katie and Rhys Morgan come from good close families that they are close to. The only difference between them is the fact that Rhys can’t seem to find the right girl to settle down with. She has no problem meeting women in bars for one night but she has yet to meet the woman she would want to marry.
Katie had a relationship that lasted four years. Admittedly the last one year was a little rough but she still didn’t think anything was wrong, that is until she came home early and found her girlfriend in bed with Katie’s best friend. So the idea of opening her heart for someone else wasn’t going to happen, even though her family nagged her to at least put herself out there in the hopes that she’d meet the right one.
Rhys' father told her about the resort that had a special week dedicated to lesbians meeting their match, so she decided to give it a try. Katie didn’t want to go but if it meant her family would leave her alone and stop trying to set her up with someone.
Ms Williams has given us a nice read where the main characters spend a week getting to know each other. And she has given us a book with a happy ending. A nice, sweet romance. Very enjoyable.

I was expecting this to be a super sappy book, but it wasn't, with the exception of the ending.
Katie is blackmailed to going to a singles resort by her sister and mother. She is not open to a relationship as the last one ended very badly. Rhys is a romantic at heart and when her dad tells her about Last Resort's lesbian week she is hesitant but she signs up anyway. Rhys and Katie meet before the program even begins, Rhys is drawn to the sole woman scrolling on her phone and strikes op a conversation. Katie is honest from the get-go, she isn't ready for a relationship and only there to get her mom and sister of her back. Rhys understand and what blossoms is a nice easy friendship with lots of cuddling and longing looks. By the time Katie is ready to admit that she might have actual love feelings for Rhys it could be too late.
I expected this story to be all sappy and happy from the get-go, it was more a friends-to-lovers romance with a bit of a slow build-up. Which is kind of contradictory seeing as all events take place within a week or so. I like the dialogue between the two characters, the tiny tidbits of their life in the real world are nice as well, but I was just expecting something else. This is all on me, but with a cover like this, I was expecting tropical paradise and really a feeling of being away from it all. And aside from them having to hand in their phones for a week, they are still on the grit and close to San Francisco. So no tropical paradise, no real feeling of leaving home and seeing if your holiday crush is everlasting when you get home, but those wrong expectations are on me. I did like this story, the ending is super sweet (and steamy), the characters are nice enough and it was such a nice easy read I had a hard time putting it down. It felt comfortable.

You can’t always get what you think you want - sometimes you get what you need (paraphrasing The Rolling Stones here), pretty much sums up the storyline here for me. The story is mainly set at a singles resort designed to find people their perfect partner. It’s lesbian week and both Katie and Rhys have been convinced to attend by their families. Rhys can’t find the person she’s looking for, whilst Katie believes she isn’t looking for anyone, but agrees to go to the resort so her family will leave her alone.
I don’t want to give away any major particulars of the storyline, but I will say I was surprised as to how they met. However I’m really glad it was done this way as I enjoyed them getting to know each other. I was worried this kind of narrative would have an instant love kind of vibe, but it actually almost feels like a slow burn even though the main part of the book only covers approximately 10 days or so.
I really enjoyed the way the dates were used to illustrate the wider groups of people that may find themselves at this type of event and I really appreciated the way Williams used the dates to have discussions on asexuality, family reactions to coming out and moving on from past loved ones (either from loss or breakups). I would have appreciated more diversity though. The dates also serve as a quick introduction to north California geography.
The ending is just right and I would happily recommend this to anyone who enjoys wlw romance books.

Lovely and Delightful
Katie is happily single much to the discontent of her mother and sister who like to fix her up with any and every lesbian they know. They surprise her with a weeklong lesbian matchmaking retreat at Last Resort. She agrees to go if they give up meddling in her love life for a year. Rhys is a romantic and ready to settle down. She just needs to find her partner, so when she hears about the event at Last Resort, she is all in! The two meet but Katie is determined to keep things in the friend zone much to Rhys’ desire for more. What happens during the week is for you to find out, but I think you should…
What a wonderful book!!!! It made me smile so big and was just a pleasure to read!! The week at the resort is filled with ups and downs, laughs and tears and so much fun. I adored Katie and Rhys. They are smart and sweet, sexy and silly…. I liked the way these two women related to each other. Even as friends, you knew there was more there no matter what Katie wanted and it was lovely and heartwarming to see her face that. This is one of those books that will make you happy for long after you read it and let me tell you, the yummy sex scene near the end is Meghan O’Brien level hot and will stay with you for a while too!! Don’t let this one pass you by!

It is very quick read, but the most rewarding I guarantee. I loved thr story do much. I think the way main characters met was perfect. I did wanted to push them into a room and lock the door that's for sure, but the wait was worth it. I do wish it was bit longer, only because I liked it so much!

A short novella about trying to find love again after being hurt.

2.5 stars
This was okay, but if I wasn't committed to reviewing it probably would've been DNF. The writing was clunky and that made it hard for me to fully enjoy. The dialogue often consisted of long, very expository near-monologues. Also, I'm not generally a fan of insta-love and this was very much that. The whole book probably took place over 10 days.
I didn't quite understand why Katie was so committed to not being in a relationship. Much of the book felt unnatural to me, and I didn't know if that was because of the writing or if maybe I'm just so dissimilar from these characters. (I can't imagine cuddling on a beach at a singles event with someone "as a friend") (The sex scenes also weren't my cup of tea at all.)
I did like the inclusion of an asexual character. I would've liked to see even more diversity in the other guests at the resort.

In Last Resort, the author took a catnip forced-proximity/arranged dating premise and turned it into a bore. Of the two heroines, one (Rhys) was immensely more likeable than the other (Katie); it was difficult to understand why Rhys fell head-over-heels in love with Katie. Love at first sight is commonly deployed in romance novels, but usually there is some reasoning behind it—in this case, I genuinely have no idea what Rhys saw in Katie that made her so attached. The whole book felt uneven, and I couldn't sympathize with Katie's desire to reject all forms of romantic love. Her feelings for Rhys only crystalized when she became horrendously jealous of someone Rhys went on a date with. Katie was quick to demean and fume at this other girl, and that didn't quite sit right with me as a reader. It made Katie less relatable, not more.
One thing that particularly bothered me was how the author handled an ace character who made a brief appearance. Rhys had a bad reaction to the character coming out, but then shared that she had an ace friend and recommended resources for the ace character to seek out. Rhys's reactions were confusing, and the way the character was represented felt one-dimensional. The whole thing felt reductive and shoe-horned in for the sake of "diversity."
My quibbles with the plot aside, what made this book truly painful to finish was the writing. This book needs a solid, heavy-handed edit—from word repetition to awkward dialogue to telling instead of showing, this book suffered from many mistakes. (Hilariously though, it took forever for me to figure out what the characters looked like!) I've powered through poor prose when I've been interested in the plot of characters; I finished this book because of the sunk-cost fallacy (plus it was an ARC). Resist the enticing set-up; it's not executed well and there are many other Bold Strokes Books lesfic books to read instead.

3 stars. Katie Fausch is content with her life in San Francisco, She is not looking for romance and is sick of her family setting her up with every single lesbian they find. She finally agrees to go on a trip to a resort that specializes in finding your next wife. Rhys Morgan is a romantic and wants to find someone who will eventually be her wife. She decides to give the local resort a try on their lesbian singles week. Rhys can't help be find Katie attractive from the time she saw her sitting by herself on orientation. As they spend more time together, Rhys knows Katie is for her, but Katie tells Rhys she is only looking for friends.
I enjoyed this book but it was just okay. I liked the dynamic of Rhys and Katie and how they went on dates every day. It was a little frustrating how much Katie would just deny her feelings and Rhys over and over again. Their relationship built up as the book went on and it felt like it was changing as the night went on. My main problem with the book is that it all seemed to evolve too fast, but sometimes that has to happen in the book. They were only together a couple days when they seemed to have heavy feelings. There was some tension, but sometimes I feel like the characters did not spend enough time together.

Review excerpted from my blog post over at Pan/Cis LGBT2SQ+ Romance Reviews (https://pancis.wordpress.com/2020/10/...)
Overall Rating: 4.0 stars
Library recommendation: Recommended for public library LGBT2SQ+ romance collections.
Warning: Hereafter, you chance spoilers. I will try never to reveal major plot points, but to review any book, you must reveal some parts of the story.
____________
Number of titles I have read by this author: 1
Love story speed: Elements of instalove, and slow burn, amazingly enough
Relationship dynamics: The Greeting Card Arist (h1) and the Wood Sculptor (h2)
Sexual content: Some; on-page and explicit; includes toy use and some very hetero sex talk
Gender Identity: Cis (h1) / Cis (h2)
Sexual Identity: Lesbian (h1) / Lesbian (h2)
Triggers: Recounted parental suicide
Acceptance Rating:5 stars
Acceptance Rating Explanation: Love is love
Grammar/Editing: My ARC had some typos, comma splices, and minor word choice issues
Review: This is a fast-paced novel set in San Francisco, primarily at a resort, but with excursions to well-known locations, and a jaunt to Alaska, all of which is well-enough described for an immersive read.
Rhys and Katie are the main characters of this book. While I liked how comfortable they immediately are with one another, and generally remain with one another, the constant reminder of commitment phobia on Katie’s part is off-putting and detracts from her character, overall. It made me feel sorry for Rhys’ future at times, and in a way that I don’t think was intended by the author.
In terms of supporting characters, the author actually presents a nice variety of supporting characters, even with the semi speed-dating set-up. The women at the retreat are shown as people, and (generally) not just filler characters for the protagonists to reject. Both heroines also have fairly well developed families – although the brand of “pushy and interfering” presented by Katie’s family and the “extremely sappy and affirmational” presented by Rhys’ family was a bit much for my personal taste.

It is funny, although it is it's not unusual, on the contrary, it is something quite common to find in romances, that the two protagonists of a story are women without the want for ties or commitments, but that after a first meeting between them they only think in happily ever after, jealousy and possessiveness included. So, despite the insistence of the author to put in the mouths of the two main characters that never ever, or at least not in a near time, they are going to settle with a couple, first Rhys but after a very short time Katie too, they can't help but want to be with each other at all times and forever. And that neither Katie nor Rhys went to the resort of their own free will, it was their families who forced them to go, despite themselves.
After meeting the first day, they must follow the resort's protocol, a daily appointment with a woman, each day a different one, chosen according to the profile of tastes. Rhys from day one would have wanted to be paired with Katie. Katie wasn't about to do that, apparently. But then it's Katie who has acted weirder and less coherent towards Rhys.
The story must follow this purpose, Rhys and Katie must meet women every day and at night get together to comment on how things have gone, Rhys is finding it increasingly difficult not to tell Katie his feelings, strong and irrepressible after having met for five minutes. So she decides to put her attraction to Katie aside and open up to new opportunities. All this in two or three days when Katie and Rhys are together for an hour a day.
Then the dating things are explained very briefly, all women are gorgeous but single, almost all are well mannered and respectful. Last resort don't seem to to be an appropriate name for the situation itself. But what does it matter.
For me this has been a regular story, an ordinary romance.

Katie Fausch is a greeting card artist in San Francisco and is jaded about love. Her last relationship lasted four and a half years, however, the last year wasn't good for many reasons until ultimately Katie finds her girlfriend in their bed with another woman. Her family thinks it's time for Katie to try to find love again and they gift her with a weeklong trip to a singles getaway named Last Resort located north of San Francisco.
Rhys Morgan is a wood sculptor who works for her family's wood and cabinet making business along with her father and her sister, Max. Rhys is a true believer in love and romance and is ready to settle down. She doesn't have a lot of time to date with the family business, so when she hears that Last Resort is having a “lesbian week,” she decides to visit the resort.
On the first morning prior to the resort's introductory meeting, Katie and Rhys meet. They experience chemistry at the outset, but Katie makes it clear that she's at the resort under the agreement that if stays the week her family won't discuss her love life for one year. Over the course of the week Katie and Rhys grow closer.
I read Angie Williams' first book, Mending Fences, in March 2020, which I enjoyed. With her second book her writing has improved and the storytelling seems seamless. I enjoyed Katie and especially Rhys' characters and the slow burn of their romance. Finally, even though they were forced to interact and date other people at the resort over the course of the week, those dates spurred along their ultimate romance and the activities that they did with their dates were definitely interesting (hiking, ropes courses, museums, etc). The reader will learn about the area north of San Francisco and activity options by reading this book.

I liked the cover and title and thought why not give this book a try without really reading the blurb. This ended up being the first time I read this author but also my first f/f (lesfic) romance.
The story centres on Rhys an artist who carved sculptures out wood and works for her family carpentry business and Katie a greeting card artist. Both are encouraged for different reasons to go on a lesbian singles retreat for a week where they will be no phones and dates will be set up with different women each day. Rhys wants to find love and Katie was pressured by her family to go, but wants to remain single.
This is a friends to lovers story with heavy emphasis on friendship. Though there was an instant attraction between the main characters, it was an extremely slow burn. Despite the story essentially taking place over the course of a week, it felt like it dragged too slowly in terms of pace of the novel, as Katie battled her attraction yet inner aversion to long term relationships. The back stories of the characters were well rounded and the families and friends were supportive. The story was complete, but was in my opinion, just an okay story. I felt like it missing something, that spark you normally get in a romance novel, where you understand the mutual attraction or are cheering for the couple, but by the end of this story, I was quite indifferent about this couple. It wasn’t my cup of tea.

3.5 ⭐️
If forced proximity and a slow will-they-won’t-they trope are your romance cat nip, then this book will do the trick.
I enjoyed living vicariously through Katie and Rhys as they went on their numerous resort-sponsored dates. Who doesn’t love to read about cute dates in beautiful and interesting places (especially right now when our own travel is so restricted)?! The book felt very escapist, while not being so far-fetched to be unrealistic. And I had fun day-dreaming about future date nights with my wife, as inspired by those throughout the novel 😍🥰👰🏻
I would have loved to see some disability representation at the resort. With so many women there, you’re telling me none could have been disabled?! While I’m happy to see the range of lesbian romances increasing, we still have a ways to go to truly diversifying the romance genre.
The other thing that bothered me was how unrealistically short the meal times were. It’s a small thing but it really pulled me out of the story when the timeline (in “real” time) would go from them serving dinner at the buffet, to having a 1-2 minute conversation, to dinner being over (with no prose filling in the time in between). It gave every meal time a very strange rushed quality that made me think they were always throwing away their barely eaten meals.

Katie has been burned by relationships before, but her family is determined to help her meet the love of her life and sets her up for a Lesbian singles week at a local resort. Rhys is looking for someone to spend the rest of her life with and heads to a singles meetup for the week. On the first day the two women sit together, and neither woman can get the other out of their head all week. Day after day they head off on dates with other women but night after night they have dinner together and their feelings grow. But will Katie be able to get over her past pain and open her heart to Rhys or will she stay steadfast in her desire to remain single forever?
I really enjoyed this book. It was simple and uncomplicated. It was a fun atmosphere and I feel like the author put a lot of thought into creating this resort and the activities although sometimes the details got a little much as I'd rather read about the romance or other relationships. I enjoyed some of the side stories as well - there were several other cute couples and sweet interactions. Rhys and Katie had great chemistry and lovely conversations that really enhanced their connection. I also particularly loved their unique jobs! This was my first book by Angie Williams and I'm sure it won't be the last as I really enjoyed this read.

2.5 stars. Katie is a greeting card artist whose family forces her to go on a singles retreat at a resort's lesbians-only week. She's not excited about it, having been badly hurt by her last relationship, but she agrees to go and try to enjoy herself anyway. On the first day she meets Rhys, beautiful and confident woodworker, who is looking for love. The two become friends over the week, but a mutual attraction causes consternation for each (for different reasons--Katie because she's determined to remain single, and Rhys because she knows Katie isn't interested in a relationship).
The San Francisco-area retreat center where they spend the week sounds awesome. I wondered if it's based on a real place. The retreat staff send the participants out on adventure dates all week, everything from ropes courses to Chinatown shopping. It's clear Williams has real affection for the Bay Area.
The premise of this story was intriguing, but the execution didn't quite live up to its promise. Williams has a tendency to both show and tell things, repeating herself sometimes almost word-for-word. For example, a character will think something and then repeat it aloud for the benefit of others. I read an ARC, so hopefully some of the unneeded exposition will be edited out before publication. Also, some of the cultural references felt kind of dated (bingeing Orange is the New Black), so I wondered if the author has been working on this book for a few years.

I’ve never actually heard of someone not being built for love. I don’t think it’s possible.”
“It’s possible, my friend, I’m living proof.”
Finding a girlfriend was not on Katie’s agenda when she was cornered to join the Last Resort, a week long stay with activities aimed at matching and pairing up single lesbians. When she met Rhys, she sought comfort in their friendship and was relieved she had a companion to help her survive the week.
I enjoyed the different dates that both characters went on but found Rhys’s attraction fixated on Katie too soon for my liking. That being said, in a world where online, blind and speed dating are the norm, love has been found through all of these avenues.
A 3.5 stars for me. The build up was quick and cut to the chase but the romantic in me would have hoped for the relationship to solidify and for readers to see the characters having a chance to thoroughly touch base with their feelings for each other.

I received a complimentary copy of Last Resort in exchange for an honest review. A f/f genre is not my normal genre, but I decided to give it a try since I liked the cover and the idea of the story. However, this was not one of the best novels I've read.
The whole concept of a week long lesbian camp was just strange. Everyday women were assigned a date and headed out with a group of other prearranged dates for the day. Ryes and Katie met at the introduction meeting and coincidentally had rooms next to each other, Ryes knew she was attracted to Katie, but Katie was very adamant that she didn't want to be in a relationship. This dialogue continued throughout the novel, and by the end of the book, I didn't think either one of them should have found love. The ending was also out of "left field" and ended with a trip in Alaska the same week the camp ended.

I wasn't totally thrilled with this book, but I didn't hate it either, if that can be considered an opinion.
The storyline was exactly as advertised. The resort part was interesting, although not original, and I liked how the days were paced. The system seems to work pretty well, and introduces rival love interests for each character. Most of all, I liked how there was room for decent secondary characters. I wouldn't have expected it out of a story featuring a resort full of strangers, but somehow it doesn't feel rushed when the protagonists befriend Carmen and Brooke. I suppose that's because it's expected that all of the relationships here would feel a little rushed, like Carmen and Brooke finding each other on the first date.
Character-wise, Rhys was ordinary, but I found Katie dull. Her personality was unmemorable, and all I took away was her stubborn insistence on never getting attached to anyone ever again. Which was featured over and over again to the point of frustration. I get why it was the main obstacle to the relationship, but I just ended up resenting Katie and her constant inner turmoil. It might have worked if the story had a longer timespan, so she could slowly be won over. Since the characters had only a week, it was annoying to have her re-iterate five times a day why she should stop feeling the way she feels.
In terms of their relationship, I enjoyed it more when Katie and Rhys were just friends. They have an ongoing banter that makes them seem really compatible, but when the nonplatonic part arrives, it's just sex. Literally all of what we see of their romantic relationship is sex. I know it happens at the end, and the tension has been building up for most of the story, but I think if there's room for three sex scenes, there's room for more time as a couple. At least give me a glimpse of what they're like together.
Three stars.

This second book by Angie Williams shows improvement in writing, the story flows very nicely, and in character development. Both Katie and Rhys were characters I could connect with and I liked the setting of this story. This story didn't get me emotionally invested but I had fun reading it as the simple romance novel it is. My main issue is that all this happens in the span of a week where they meet eachother for maybe 2 hours a day and then the sudden turn from not wanting a relationship to I want to be your forever woman is maybe a bit unbelievable. Yet on the other hand there is a reason we have the joke about lesbians and U hauls...
Anyways, nice enjoyable romance. Nothing that stands out, but most romance lovers will not be disappointed with this one.

Katie Fausch is happy, single and with no plans of settling down, regardless of her mom and sister's insistence. So, when she agrees to go to 'lesbian week' in a resort, she sees it as an opportunity to finally get her family off her back for at least a year. On the very first day Katie meets Rhys Morgan, who unlike Katie, is looking for someone to spend her life with and sees this week as the perfect opportunity to do so.
This story was sweet and although you already knew how it was going to end, it was a fun relaxing read. Both main characters were likeable and I really liked the profession each character had, they were fresh and interesting.
Overall, it was a quick, sweet read with a happy ending. Kind of a good read after you have read a story that has ripped your heart apart.

A sweet sophomore
This was an easy-breezy read with little drama or much of anything else. In my opinion, this was a vanilla read with enough build up at the end of each chapter to keep me going. The friendship between the two protags happened naturally as did their growing love for one another. Yes, there was a lot of push/pull, more push than pull, but that's what kept me turning the pages just to see the end game. Last Resort was a vast improvement from the author's debut, but I still found some of the dialogue a tad forced and or cheesy during intimacy. One thing Williams exceled at was capturing the complexities of one's mind and heart and how one can overrule the other, even when the answer to all our problems is staring us right in the face. We humans can be quite the dunce at times.
Vanilla sweet and mild. Solid 3 stars

Katie Fausch is happily single, however her family are not and have a vested interest in trying to find her a partner and book her into 'lesbian week', a singles holiday at a local resort. Katie goes along with it but has no intention of finding any romance. Rhys Morgan is trying to find the one, she's ready to settle down, have kids, the works.
I initially enjoyed this book but then I started to get a little bored with it halfway through, mainly with the storyline. Both Katie and Rhys started to annoy me with their actions, or reactions might be a better word, and how they treated people. I didn't feel there was much chemistry between Katie and Rhys. This read was a little disappointing.
