Even though this is book 4 in the series, it reads as a standalone. I haven't read the first three yet but after reading Evie and Pax's story, I'm definitely adding them to my TBR! Evie is in Paradise Key seeking refuge from the bad press from her father's insider trading scandal. She's laying low until she can return to Philadelphia and her talk show. Pax is the mayor of Paradise Key, leading the quiet life and doing his best to raise his 12-year-old daughter. Pax and Evie seem to be opposites but the more they get to know each other, and the more time Evie spends with Pax's daughter, the more they realize that they are not so opposite. Their experiences bonded them and their chemistry was palpable. I can't wait to go back and read the first three books!! *This is my voluntary review of an advanced reader copy*
