Escaping a horrible marriage, Carolyn Connor has no desire to think about men—a vow she's determined to keep while on vacation in St. Lucia. She'll take the Caribbean sun and sea and plenty of tropical drinks with those cute umbrellas poolside, thank you. She absolutely does not need male company, no matter how tan and rock-hard his body may be. Easy enough, but then Carolyn meets the charming Marguerite Argeneau, who is infamous among her family for her matchmaking prowess . . .Christian Notte has well known the power of finding a life mate. He's seen enough of his Argeneau relatives taken down for the count, but he never imagined he'd let himself fall in love—until he meets the enthralling, charmingly skittish, and oh-so-mortal Carolyn. But how will he reveal what he when i is and still convince this once-bitten mortal to trust him with her heart . . . and her forever? AMAZON 4 STARS
This author has done it again when it comes to unusual ways that soul mates/life mates meet. And this one was an off the charts different. Christian's close family are all on board to "help" him woo and win her. Carolyn has become a runner because romance and marriage has been a bust for her. She's nearing the end of her divorce but is still healing from the insults and put downs that she endured. No way is she going to be eager to spend time with the gorgeous, sexy Christian. She liked him way too much and he was way too young for her. She wasn't a cougar looking to bad a much younger man. Captain Jack was an interesting distraction for Carolyn and he did his best to get her attention. One of Carolyn's friends, Beth was someone that I just couldn't warm too. Where does she get off always trying to lecture Carolyn? I could understand Carolyn's loyalty to her but I just kept wishing she would tell her to take her lousy attitude and take a hike.
I'm still a fan of this author's series but didn't feel a strong pull for this story. Probably too much time spent on how much she lacked in the trusting men department and how hurt Carolyn was. More time was spent in the story,with Christian trying so hard to be non-threatening. He's crazy to claim her and has to pretend to be something else in order to just spend time with her. All so that she can get to know him better. So I guess to be honest, I liked this book but it was just a bit lower on my scale of favorites.
