“Island Affair” follows Sara Vance. Sara is going on an island vacation with her family as a restful recharge for her mother after chemo treatments. Sara was already anxious about spending a week with her older, distant siblings, but then her boyfriend (who she may have exaggerated a little bit to her mother) doesn’t show up at the airport. Luis meanwhile has been banned from work for a week following an upsetting fire call. Sara and Luis will strike up a deal, he helps her with her family and she will occupy his time off from work.
This book definitely had a rom-com kind of vibe (can you tell that’s what I’ve been reading a lot of lately)? Girl gets broken up with, but needs to bring a boyfriend to a family function. And yet, as often as I have read this plot line, I still enjoy it each time. I think this book provided a unique take by allowing the characters to have bigger issues they needed to work out before they could be together.
The writing style was good, although maybe a little weak in spots. Beyond that, there was a little TMI in the book as far as romance goes, so if that isn’t your jam then you may want to skip some scenes…
Overall, this book was cute and made me dream of warm, summer days in Florida. I gave it three stars.
