Olivia Lane wants to become the premiere event planner for Blue Moon Bay’s rich and famous. But first she has to impress Greta von Strand—millionaire and bestselling author of Men: Who Needs Them?—by pulling off a two-week luxury getaway for women. The retreat’s all about getting women to embrace their independence by nurturing themselves and each other, and Olivia, who’s never been lucky-in-love herself, is looking forward to it.

The retreat and Olivia’s goals hit a roadblock, however, when sweet-talking firefighter, Brody Mitchell, and his smoking hot friends take up residence at the mansion next door. Now, she must successfully keep Greta and the other women away from their male neighbors, fight her attraction to Brody, and pull off the retreat of a lifetime in one fell swoop.

It’s a battle of the sexes she’s determined to win, otherwise she could lose everything—including her heart.

I honestly couldn't read this one fast enough. Olivia is trying to branch out and become an event planner and has her chance to prove herself with a two week getaway for women. After a terrible breakup, Olivia read bestseller Men: Who Needs Them? and has convinced the author, Greta, to do a retreat for women in similar situations to learn to become independent of men. Things start off rocky when Brody and his friends are found staying in the mansion next door and seem to be everywhere the women are. Olivia will do whatever it takes to make a name for herself and get her business off the ground...even if it means losing a chance on love.
 
Olivia has struggled with making decisions in the past, but is now ready to move forward with her future and is making chances to get herself to where she wants to be. I like how determined and motivated she is. I really like her as a character, as well. She's fun, organized, creative, and human. Brody is a great guy! He's persistent and patience. I love their interactions, misunderstandings, and flirty banter. There are some great secondary characters too, some of which we've met before. The successes and mishaps really added to the fun.
 
I really look forward to each new book, wondering which characters will pop up and how their stories will be told. This is a fun addition and I loved the way it all played out. I love the legend associated with this town. This one is a fun, clean, contemporary romance!
 
Content: mild romance (kissing); mild language. Clean!
