This is a new author for me and while it was a sweet love story- it was a bit slow. I am not sure if all of her books are like this and I would be willing to give her another chance.
Unfortunately this one didn't work for me.

A burnt out actor, Landon, escapes Hollywood and finds himself while hiding out in paradise. Zara leads a quiet life on a beautiful Hawaiian island under the watchful eye of her overprotective father. When Zara's matchmaking dog stumbles across Landon, sparks begin to fly. Can a relationship started with lies survive once the house of cards start falling? Readers will be eager to find out! Definitely recommend.

I've said before I think I could enjoy reading this author's grocery list, and this book was yet another in her string of delightful books. Of course she easily hits the prerequisites for any truly enjoyable book: a good story, well crafted characters, believable dialogue, and pacing that keeps the reader turning the pages and wondering what's around the next corner.
And this book showcases the thing I appreciate most about her books - a male primary character who is interesting while being a nice, normal guy. No demons (could we please never use that word again), no bad behavior that needs to be forgiven. Just a well reared (and we meet his mother so we know why), normal, guy dealing with the problems fame brings in the best way he can. Throughout the book Landon reliably considers the impact of his actions on those he cares about. There were many points in the book when the opportunity for him to screw up presented itself, and he chose the more honorable path. Awesome!
Unfortunately,for about the first third of the book I just couldn't get what there was about Zara, our heroine, that captivated him. Its a romance novel, so I'll buy the insta-love. But all I could figure was she was beautiful, had dimples and a killer South African accent, and was young and sheltered so she didn't know who he was. She seemed sort of - uninteresting, With all the women the book suggests he had been exposed to, it was hard to understand why he almost immediately decided she was the one. But she grew throughout the last half of the book, and she became more like the characters I've come to expect from this author.
Tahe thing I liked the best about this book, I think, was that they didn't create unnecessary problems by doing the usual stupid stuff you generally find in romance novels. There were no traumas based on miscommunication. When Zara saw things online about his past relationships she, amazingly, asked him about them. And believed him when he explained them. He understood her family situation, and didn't selfishly press her to accommodate him when she needed time to work things out.
When I reached the end of this book I smiled. It was an interesting tale about two people working their way through a relationship, and doing it in a mature and uncrazy way. It was refreshingly low on unnecessary angst. Hallelujah!

loved this book

Essentially a romantic read set on a Hawaiian island with a movie star hiding out for relaxation. He manages to find a resort quite off the beaten path. Could this happen? Yeah, probably. The rural setting has the natives not recognizing him and Landon meets a beautiful girl.

The book seems plausible and every detail woven into the story makes it so. I loved the back story that each MC brings. The layers to their personalities make this story resonate.
Nice HEA.
