Wonderful Escape
Loved the characters that Alexis brought to life. Her writing makes you feel every emotion of each person in the story whether it is sad, happy or any other feelings they experience. It was very difficult to put this book down.

**4.5 stars**
Alexia Adams has penned a sweet but sexy, heart-warming novella. Set on St. Lucia, Ms. Adams makes the story come alive with her gorgeous descriptions of the scenery and the local characters. I was completely charmed by everything, including Crescentia’s colorful family. While this is a short read, the story packs a lot of emotional punch, and I was in tears by the end of the book. Both characters were rendered vividly and three-dimensionally, so much so that I would’ve loved to read pages and pages more about them. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Adam’s books – especially the sequel about Marcus’s brother, Liam!

A short and wonderful love story. Though the happily-for-now ending has me worried I'm really glad I read it. That proves it's a good story when the characters feel real to me.

Short beautiful romance. Marcus tries to set up Crescy for his brother Liam, but falls for her instead. Great read. Loved it!
