ISLAND ADVENTURE AND ROMANCE

TLP is very well put together. The story takes its time without ever feeling boring. In a way, you know where some things are going, but you really want the characters to go that way! And when it finally did get there, I CHEERED. Out loud. What a great start to the series!

Great romance adventure!

Awwwwwww I'm a sucker for these kinds of books. This one has great romance development between the characters and feels really authentic. I LOVE Michael kramer as a narrator so yeah this was an easy choice for me, but the story is wonderful on its own. Sighhhh. Sweet day.

cliff hangers need more interest to pursue

I think this writer may well grow into someone to follow. I can only see a start and not one to follow yet. I got the book because I love the narrator. I am fine with choosing to listen to what he chooses to read, but this one may have been assigned rather than a preferred choice. The work could make a series though it should be less manipulative about the endings.
