review 1: I liked everything but the ending. Not everything needed a happy ending or a saving moment.Erin is on vacation with her last foster care family's daughter - Robyn and her rich friends. Erin only goes because Robyn's mom pays her way. The island is beautiful, but the company leaves a lot to be desired. They all take turns daring each other to do something and Erin hopes she will be left out. But they insist that she wade across the pool to the bar and ask one of the men out. She doesn't see the underwater bar that holds up the stools everyone is sitting on. As she trips, she grabs the shoulder of the man she was going to talk to and ends up flipping him backwards into the water. He dunks her in turn. She walks away. Later a forty something male is bugging her as s... morehe tries to get close enough to the bar in the restaurant to get a drink. She backs into the same man from the pool. He buys her a drink and decides he will teach the golddigger a lesson. He wines and dines her the next night and then takes her to his villa and seduces her. They have what to her naive senses has been the ideal all night sexual experience. Then he lowers the boom and tells her he's done with her she can leave now. She is so glad to leave the island a few days later. Dare finds he can't get Erin out of his head. Even if she is a golddigger, maybe he can convince her to come back to the island and be his mistress. When he finds her she is worked off her feet as a waitress. He takes her home to her barren apartment. She's afraid that somehow he found out that she's carrying his child and will take it away from her because he has more money. When she says as much, he switches gears and insists they marry. His friends don't get his marriage. A business deal with someone he trusts goes very wrong. Robyn decides to visit and try to lure Dare away. Erin's only comfort is Dare's housekeeper. Can she continue living with Dare as they have separate bedrooms and separate lives. Is this best for their child?
review 2: Normally shy and reserved, college student Erin Samuels goes to the island of Santa Marta where she breaks out of her shell and does things that shock even her. Dare DeSouza is used to women throwing themselves at him and he lumps Erin Samuels in the same category. Gold-diggers, that's what they all are, but this time he has a plan. He sets out to teach Erin a lesson she'll never forget... An island romance that will keep readers guessing every step of the way... it's always in the back of your mind "oh no, not now". The only problem that i found with this book, there wasn't enough descriptive writing to allow me to be 'there' at the island. As a result, i couldn't place myself in the book. 4 stars. less

Pretty predictable. Hero was a jerk. Heroine was a wimp.
