About this item

This lesbian summer holiday romance comes with tangy cocktails, arched eyebrows, and a sweet side of mystery.

Lucy Holloway is dying for an escape. The high-flying lawyer's life has just spectacularly imploded so it's time to hit the reset button and soak up some sun, sea, and relaxation at a swanky hotel across the Atlantic.

Laid-back physical therapy student Elena Garcia is home for the holidays. Picking up a few shifts as a lifeguard at Sol Plaza, the hotel her father manages, sounds like fun. Speaking of fun . . . there's also that sweet summer flirtation she's having with a smoking hot American lawyer. But when their sizzling romance slides into real emotions, everything gets complicated.

Also complicated? Wild accusations against Elena's father about how Sol Plaza's being run. Teaming up with Lucy, Elena's determined to clear his name.

But will working together bring the two even closer? Where do flings end and feelings begin, anyway?

Contains mature themes.

    This was a wonderful story of fighting against the age gap & letting yourself go admitting to the feelings you are having for a younger woman. The flirting was going back & forth making me smile. Very good read.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Vacation romance with a side of mystery

    This was a fun light vacation romance with a mystery wound into the middle of it. Sommers did a great job of creating enjoyable and believable main characters with some excellent side characters as well.

    Lucy is fleeing from a broken heart (and a bit of a scandal) that enveloped her in NY and winds up at a lovely resort in Tenerife (Canary Islands) to cool off for a bit. Elena is the daughter of the long-term manager of said resort and is back home for the summer, working as a lifeguard at the resort. Both women are not looking for anything serious and start a no strings situation, but feelings start to develop. Things are progressing in a pretty normal way when Elena’s dad gets accused of cooking the books at the resort and is summarily fired. Lucky that Lucy is a finance lawyer and can step in to play forensic accountant - with the help of Elena, they solve that mystery and then the relationship status is the only outstanding question.

    The chemistry between the main characters was believable. One thing that I had a bit of a hard time with was that Lucy didn’t seem truly brokenhearted, even though it was clear that she was meant to be. You don’t learn what happened until a bit into the book, so I won’t spoil it, but the duration of the previous relationship and the time between the old and new relationships didn’t map out in a way that made sense to me.

    Great and unusual love story, with interesting twists and turns. It brought new and lovely plot with emotion and searching for something you didn't know you wanted. Great characters that you wanted to scream at and advise. There is an HEA. I like RachelnSommers writing and want to read more of her books!

    Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2023
    Lucy is a prominent lawyer in New York, after an embarrassing and difficult breakup she escapes to the Canary Islands on a sabbatical.
    Elena is home between graduation and starting grad school for physical therapy lifeguarding at the hotel her father manages. They have instant chemistry. Elena is a bit of a player whose never had a relationship and enjoys hooking up with women when she knows there is an expiration date to the situation. Lucy has never had a one night stand but she’s willing to have a fling with this intriguing, confident, gorgeous woman. The characters have an electric connection. The supporting characters are full of life and endearing.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2023
    I like this book..Like the age gap angle to it..nice job by the author I would definitely read another book by her..the only thing I personally don't like is any political ideology(they/them) when I'm reading a romance novel..but otherwise I would recommend.
