I didn't like this book. I couldn't connect with any of the characters and the story just didn't grab me.

This was a little too strange for me. It is a short romance but I found myself confused about what was really going on. The description stated that Tyler was about to discover the horrible, wondrous truth about Megan.... I still am not sure what that truth was! I felt like it ended rather abruptly and left me with questions. A second book might help clarify what was actually going on. On a different note, I appreciated the author sending a hard copy of the book. It is nice to actually hold a book in your hands rather than electronic copies. I will be passing along the book for others to read and enjoy.… (more)

"Cherish, love, charity" this was an amazing look into two young people and there short romance with each other. The walks, talks, and undivided attention to each other was overwhelming to read. Truly made me want to be young again, if not just for a short period. The ending of the story sort of left you hanging. Why was she so upset with Tyler and why the sudden change of heart with the way she felt and how she was when she was with him. Hoping for a second book....

Main characters are Tyler and Megan. Tyler photographs customers and tourists at restaurants in Honolulu. One day, he meets a pretty girl named Megan while working. Megan's charming and mysterious personality has won Tyler over - but Megan has a problem; she must leave to go back home in a couple of days. When Megan falls in love with Tyler, her emotions become unpredictable - volatile, even, but that doesn't stop Tyler from trying to keep her. She postpones her flight for one day, then for another one and this foolhardy decision amazes Tyler. He really believes that his search for love is over, but knows also that his time to make a move is running out. After their fight about staying Megan in Hawaii or leaving, she was hit by a car two hours before her plane and she decides to see him for a last time whatever it takes.

Tyler is about to discover the horrible, wondrous truth about Megan, a truth that'll challenge his most cherished beliefs. He does everything to keep her but his attempts seem so insignificant and in the end Megan leaves Hawaii anyway...

It's a story about sweet sweet love until the very end.
