Review

Poppy Walker is trying to restore her family resort. She sent her son off to Disney land and is using the time to fix up the place. She isn’t prepared for an unwanted visitor who will turn her normal life upside down.

Ryan Hamilton has experienced a lot of problems during the month of March. He needs time to escape and get through the month in peace without doing anything stupid. He picked the perfect deserted location. He just has to convince the cute and sweet resort keeper to let him stay in one of the cabins.

Ryan is keeping secrets from Poppy. He hopes to keep his distance. When a storm destroys Poppy’s cabin, she is forced to stay with Ryan in his cabin. The close space forces the two to act on their desires. Poppy knows it can only be a one night. She hasn’t even told Ryan about her son, Mason.

I want to love this story more. It has all of the elements to make for a really good feel good romance but it falls short. There is the sub-story with Linus and Charlie (a cute play on the names) that became more distracting than beneficial to the story. Their story pops up in the middle of the book as a screen play. I’m assuming because Linus works in the industry as well. I don’t know but it is just weird. It makes the book flow in a choppy manner.

I didn’t warm up to hero as well. He seems cold and distant. I’m glad we finally got to know his back story about “March” but he never came off like he was in love with Poppy or Mason. It felt mechanical by the end. They had great sexual chemistry but outside of that, I felt little to no romance. Poppy have two more sisters and a brother. I’m hoping that if they get a book, it is much better than this one.
