Adam needed to get out of New York and away from everything that reminded him of what he had lost. Several months ago his wife and young son had been killed when a drunk driver plowed into their car. His wife died on impact and his son AJ had died in his arms.
His cousin Alex and owner of Stark International Hotels decided to send him to California and gave him complete control from studs to completion of their new hotel acquisition. So he handed in his business suits for a hammer. The manual labor should give him something other than his grief to focus on and he could also give Alex's good friends Kat and William advice on their renovations of their property Tranquility.
Adam didn't know the last time he laughed and it felt good. There was an old silver BMW with a flat tired pulled to the shoulder of the road, luggage dumped to the side of the trunk and a beautiful woman kicking the bumper. He sighed as he pulled a safe distance away despite wanting to keep going he knew he had to offer help.
When she looked at him suspiciously he realized that she wasn't just crying, she was expending more tears than a flat tire deserved. He made the mistake of asking how she was doing? Let's just say she had issues that started spewing out of her mouth between tears. He held her until she got it all out, fixed her tire and it wasn't until he was at his destination that he realized he didn't know her name.
Katrina may be a famous movie star, but she had been Laura's best friend her whole life and she was so thankful to be spending a week or two in their fabulous beach house behind their massive home Tranquility. Her divorce finalized today and she needed to decompress before the school year began.
As much as I love Alex and Daisy I have to say Adam's story hit me harder. Both Adam and Laura have been heartbroken and knew from the start that they would only have the summer together, but when the trial was moved forward and Adam had to return to NY Laura realized she didn't want him to leave.
I loved these characters. They are all so amazing. Adam has suffered a devastating loss and is determined to not love again and go through the pain of losing another loved one. Laura is trying to find herself after an emotionally abusive marriage. There is so much to say about this amazing story, but they will all lead into spoiler territory. Adam almost throws it all away before realizing taking the risk is so worth any possible pain.
I love this series! This book is very well written and the characters are fully developed and Mary Oldham draws you in so you feel part of the story. This book is steamy hot and well worth the read!
Start the series now!
