Summary

Their connection flares hot in an instant…but is it doomed to fizzle out?

After the death of her estranged father, Hayley McAllister plans to endure cold, wet England just long enough to tie up loose ends. Then she’s heading straight back to Ibiza, where she lives exactly as she pleases—performing her music, soaking up sunshine, and indulging in flings with gorgeous women.

She has no interest in meeting her dad’s new wife—a wife Hayley assumes must be just as bitter as he was...until she comes face to face with Diane Astell—a walking, talking dream, from her dark hair and eyes and brilliant smile, down to her divine legs.

Diane is intimately acquainted with heartbreak and loneliness, both within and outside of marriage. Now? She just wants to let it all go and have some fun for a change. Despite their age difference, she quickly recognizes a kindred spirit in the beautiful, vivacious Hayley.

Their sexual chemistry is hotter than the Ibizan sun, but their undeniable connection comes with an expiration date—and consequences neither expected. Now, both must decide if holding onto lives they thought they wanted is worth losing the love of a lifetime for.

An emotional and relevant journey

This book involves you in an experience that many people will have faced. The age difference issue will regularly arise in the relationships of people. It was well addressed in this book, as was the suspicion that will sometimes be in the background in these relationships. The emotions of both women were approached sensitively and realistically. One downside, however, was the immediate worship felt by one of the women, which took away some of the potential slow burn and intrigue. Altogether though, a really good book!

Not bad

The story was okay, but it took a long time for them to get to the ending we knew was coming by the time I was halfway through the book. The narrator was a better British narrator than we usually get, at least there was no forced refined pronunciation, but it still felt vaguely pedestrian. It just didn’t grab my attention for very long if I’m honest.

Another epic romance by Melissa

Exactly what I come to expect from Melissa Tereze. Lovable characters, angst, and stream, steam, steam! Did I mention steam. Tereze only improves with every book!

drags on a bit

I know the ebook is available on Kindle Unlimited where writers are paid by the number of pages, but this novel could have been half the length. it drags on and on and on and on towards the end. It is nice to see a British based novel being narrated by a British narrator.

Great Listen

This was a great book. The narrators voice was so nice and the story had everything needed. I couldn’t wait to listen to more each day.

Excessive

Too much emotional baggage from Haley , this could have been a shorter story. Narration was good.
