Private Paradise (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

Carla is the cousin of Chris who if you read the first book would know all about his love affair with Julie. Carla has moved from second in command to running the lush, exclusive resort and Chris has moved to another island running a family friend resort with Julie and their daughter Matilda. So surprising to Carla, Chris shows up with a new hire. He found a new director of security. The problem is, Sam is also Carla's first love - of course Chris does not know about their prior relationship. But because Carla's job is on the line she accepts Sam and tries to work with him and be professional. But all that is blown out of the water when a hurricane arrives and Carla and Sam get stuck on the island to wait it out. Let's just say the sea was not the only think that was stormy. There are some twists and turns after the first sexual encounter but in the end Carla and Sam get their HEA. I purchased this book on Amazon.ca for less than $1. This e-book novella was free on Amazon, so although I thought it was just a run-of-the-mill romance with fairly boring characters, it was worth reading. The main characters Carla and Sam don't have a lot of depth, but the writing gives them sexual chemistry. I think I just don't much care for novellas. The closeness between Carl and Sam relies on flashbacks to their love scenes when they were young and working together at a resort, and it feels like a shortcut so that their relationship in the present doesn't feel too sudden or shallow, but it still felt too sudden and shallow to me. I just can't get on board with a heroine in a contemporary who has never gotten over a guy from when she was 18. There was a mix of contemporary sexuality with an old-fashioned sense of that heading pretty immediately to settling down to marriage that seemed a bit discordant.
