Let's cut to the chase: I binge read this novel!

Lola is so much fun, in the broken kind of way. She's so optimistic when her life is a mess that's getting worse by the day.
Aidan is more introverted and has been living a solitary life since leaving Canada for the Caribbean.

They promised themselves they'd never fall in love again... until they met each other (and they will fight their hearts to the end!).

This novel is so funny and sweet, part adventure, 100% romance.
I might have liked to see more of the Caribbean (on the boat expedition in particular), as I've never been there, But it was truly a delight.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this book, in exchange for my honest opinion!

This was a sweet and quick easy read to kick off summer!! The story immerses you in from the beginning, and wishing you were on the island with them. (I did not read any of the other books in this series, and it can definitely be read as a stand alone).

Lola isn’t having a great year, not only did her boyfriend leave her but he emptied out their bank account which forced her to lose her shop and surfing school. With time ticking to when the bank will auction it off, she decides she will do whatever it takes to get the money.

Aidan also isn’t having a great year, after he found out his fiancé was cheating on him with him his own brother. But to make matters worse he’s also just found out they’re pregnant.

These two meet one evening at the Turtles head and what started as a chance meeting, ends with them making a deal. Lola will pose as Aidan’s girlfriend while his parents visit. And Aidan will captain his boat for Lola on the quest to find the Crown in a treasure hunt, that will win her all the money she needs to save her shop.

But as feelings turn real, parents come to town, and there is drama finding the crown, will there deal truly work out?

I loved their story and watching them both get their HEA after being dealt such crappy cards from life. The ending is just chefs kiss! And now I want to read all the rest of the books in this series!
