Summer and Leo would do anything for each other. Inspired by the way each has had to carve her place in a hostile and unforgiving world, and united by the call of the open road, they travel around sunny California in Summer’s tricked-out Land Cruiser. It’s not a glamorous life, but it gives them the freedom they crave from the painful pasts they’ve left behind. But even free spirits have bills to pay. Luckily, Summer is a skilled pickpocket, a small-time thief, and a con artist—and Leo, determined to pay her own way, has learned a trick or two.

Eager for a big score, Leo catches in her crosshairs Michael Forrester, a self-made billionaire and philanthropist. When her charm wins him over, Leo is rewarded with an invitation to his private island off the California coastline for a night of fabulous excess. She eagerly anticipates returning with photos that can be sold to the paparazzi, jewelry that can be liquidated, and endless stories to share with Summer.

Instead, Leo disappears.

On her own for the first time in years, Summer decides to infiltrate Michael’s island and find out what really happened. But when she arrives, no one has seen Leo—she’s not on the island as far as they know. Plus, there was only one way on the island—and no way off—for the coming days. Trapped in a scheme she helped initiate, could Summer have met her match?

Loved this audio book!

Enjoyed the storyline and the friendship between the main characters. I highly recommend this book.

Thriller

I would definitely recommend this book. I wasn’t expecting this twists that came forth. Four out of five stars.

Very imaginative story

I thought the story was very compelling and creative. I know some people thought the ending wasn't believable but I loved the ending. Great story about female friendship. It is a thriller and you don't want to put it down. My only problem was with the narration of Leo, the narrator sounded as if she might fall asleep during the reading. But I got over that and really enjoyed the book.

Awesome!

Couldn’t stop listening. I like books that catch you early. I get a little impatient sometimes. This book I didn’t!

Very captivating

Definitely kept my attention, great story, great characters, and a little smut. A few more curse words than needed but overall great.
