Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Rumor Has It, Rescue My Heart, and the Lucky Harbor novels...Statistically speaking, these years are supposed to be the sexual highlight of Dorie Anderson’s life. So where are the highlights already?
One phone call has turned Dorie’s dead-end life into an adventure: she’s won a trip on a singles cruise to Fiji. With her cutest outfits packed and the Love Boat theme in her head, Dorie boards—and soon meets two irresistible men: a pro show more baseball player with an irresistible Texas drawl, and the ship’s dark and mysterious French doctor, Dr. Christian Montague. She’s sure to fall head-over-heels in no time. She just never expected to do it so quickly, or so literally, tripping over her luggage.
With her foot twisted and her ego deflated, Dorie’s dream vacation is about to take the biggest detour yet. A violent storm has wrecked the ship and cast everyone ashore. A deserted island would be the perfect setting for a steamy romance, if something sinister wasn’t lurking. Whose alluring arms will Dorie run to? Being stuck never felt so…liberating. show less

I love reading Jill Shalvis. She never disappoints me. Her stories are fun, the characters are engaging, and the romance is sparkling. This was not an exception. A good story with Jills' ever present charm. What's not to like?
I really liked this story about Dorie, a wannabe dress designer in a dead end job, who wins a Fiji cruise and being accident prone spends lots of time with ships french doctor Christian. Their relationship was steamy but so on and off.
A sales clerk from a shop-mart wins an all expenses paid trip to Fiji and a yacht trip… on the premise they allow her to pitch a time share option. This is far beyond plausible but if you can put that away, then you have to accept a Vegas dancer, an artist and baseball player are also part of this trip. One brooding, 'I don't mix business with pleasure' hot doctor and a murder and then they all get stranded on an island. Not Jill's best.
