When surf instructor Carly Bridger falls for Gage Craven, she discovers the love she’s always longed for. But will the painful parts of her past threaten to tear it away?
Gage Craven has finally gained his famous father’s approval by agreeing to star in a Hollywood film. And while he’s basking in the feels of being his old man’s pride and joy, Gage can’t help but worry over the many ways he could lose it. Topping Dad’s must-do list are two very simple words: Stay Single. After all, what other father and son team could claim to have taken the title of Hollywood’s Most Eligible Bachelor? But when Carly Bridger surfs in and takes Gage’s life by storm, he stands to lose the relationship he worked so hard to earn. No doubt Carly’s worth the risk, but will Gage’s Hollywood ties scare her away?
Second-grade teacher Carly Bridger is on the verge of breaking free from her past—namely, a cowboy poet named Jimmy who loves his broken heart more than her. Carly can only hope her summer job teaching surf at the Royal Palm will move her one step closer to the life she longs for. That hope comes to life when Hollywood hunk, Gage Craven, shows Carly she is able to feel something for another man after all. Yet just as hope for a future with Gage begins to flourish, the past she’s trying to forget comes back to haunt her.
Will these crashing tides destroy their budding relationship, or will their new love be strong enough to survive the storm?

My Review: 5 Stars
The Royal Palm resort is the perfect setting for this swoony romance and I'm ready to book my vacation now! Carly is a teacher during the school year, and a surf instructor at the resort during the summers. Gage is an up-and-coming actor who needs to learn to surf for his new movie and the insta-sparks fly from the first time their eyes meet. Oh, my swoon (insert all the heart eyes).
Carly has a painful secret from her past and I love how Gage brings a breath of fresh air to her life and helps her see what can be and what she needs to do to move on. She is so sweet and deserves more. Gage is charming, persistent, and absolutely adorable! He almost seems to good to be true, but he's got something to overcome too. I love when a story reveals relatable characters and their human characteristics, while still delivering a story worth reading.
In a perfect setting, filled with sun, surf, and swoon, the mistress of steamy clean romance strikes again, offering a powerful tale with a heartbreaking issue and presenting a flicker of hope that is fanned by the flames of forgiveness, maturity, and rock-solid characters. Grab a fan and a tropical drink, and sit back and enjoy.
