review 1: I have had this book on my iphone for awhile now and I was just leisurely reading a page here or there as I got caught without a book. The story of a young gallery owner Leilani wanting a holiday fling sounded like a great story idea. She is from Maui and he is from London. Everything in the story was ok until she just happens to find herself in a London spilling the beans day one. Now come on!! Really! You mean to tell me a woman that has never been with a man outside of her dead finance can just up and tell a British hot banker that she wants to jump his bones, just like that! And it gets better. He is into her and wants her the same. There is no story behind that! What happened to the woman dropping hints and all? Well it gets better. NOT SURE IF THIS IS A S... morePOLIER but...He falls in love with her and she is not into moving from hot vacation sex to something more. REALLY!!!! LORD! I wish a hot British banker would ask me to marry him! And did I mention he is from a wealthy family too! Back to the story. It just seemed to Disney to me. I did not have one bit of "poor Leilani" when it came to her feelings and this man issue. The writing and the story are perfect bubble gum read. And that is why I think it's ...
review 2: I found this book for free on amazon. This is a nice, quick, vacation romance. What starts as the heroine, Leilani, wanting a vacation from her island of Maui to London's art scene, turns into true love. We get insight into the heroine and what drives her decisions. However, I would have liked to see more about the hero, Colin. The author frequently makes references to the changes that Colin has made in his life, but it was never fully explained why he chose those changes. Also, Colin has an eccentric cousin with a colorful wardrobe that helps to drive the plot, but we don't find out what drives this cousin, either. I'm hoping this is a set-up for another book. Perry did a great job of moving Leilani through grief, and coming to terms with a loss in her life, enabling her to move on. It wasn't overdone, nor were the implications of her choices ignored. Kudos to Perry. This book had subtile sizzle. There were some descriptive scenes, but much was left to the imagination. It was a very nice balance and fit the tone of the story. I would recommend this story. less
