Didn’t love this book. Usually I can fly through a book by R.S Grey but this one was a struggle to get through. Most of their problems would’ve been solved if they had just talked to either other and laid out their feelings

The plot was pretty predictable but the characters were very likable. The comedic situations they encountered were actually realistic. Overall the book was very entertaining.

Thank you R.S Grey, Grey Promo and NetGalley for the eARC. All thoughts and reviews are on my own.

RS Grey can do no wrong in my eyes. I always devour her books and this one is no different. She wrote the most perfect work place, enemies to lovers opposites attract summer read. This book is the perfect, fast pace quick romantic comedy read that everyone should grab.

Paige is fun loving, spontaneous down for anything girl. Cole is a number crunching, likes the way things are to a T kinda guy. These two have the most delicious tension building romance. These two absolutely drive each other mad and it just builds up the comment aspect cause you just know they secretly love each other.

The storyline was perfect. Another thing RS does well is write a great plot. It was boring, kept you engrossed and wanting more. The only downfall is weight is mention the wrong way a few times but that’s my only complaint. The development of the relationship felt like a perfect speed, the banter and wit was great, and the ending was glorious.

This is definitely your next summer read you need to grab!

I have enjoyed books by R.S. Grey in the past, but this one didn't live up to my expectations. The female main character was annoying and immature. I also found the reasons for the forced proximity of the couple to be a bit contrived. This one was just ok, and maybe aimed at a younger audience than me. It just may be that books for "new adults" don't work for me as well as they used to. Thank you forctge opportunity to read this and provide my honest review.

R.S. Grey’s Their Last Resort is the perfect enemies-to-lovers romance set against the breathtaking backdrop of a luxury resort in Turks and Caicos. It’s an entertaining and heartwarming journey filled with witty banter, tension-filled moments, and the undeniable chemistry between two polar opposites—Paige Young and Cole Clark.

Paige, the adventurous and spirited activities leader, and Cole, the rule-abiding assistant director, couldn’t be more different. From the start, their rivalry is palpable, filled with hilarious quips and tense exchanges that keep the pages turning. Grey has mastered the art of witty dialogue, and it’s this playful back-and-forth that makes their relationship so engaging. Their constant battles of will create an electric dynamic that brings out the best (and sometimes the worst) in both of them.

But beneath their rivalry lies a deeper connection—one that neither is ready to admit. Their chemistry simmers from the start, building slowly until the inevitable moment when everything comes to a head. The hurricane serves as the perfect metaphor for the storm brewing between them, forcing them to confront not only the literal danger but also the emotions they’ve been hiding for so long. Grey expertly weaves in moments of vulnerability and humor that balance out the heightened tension.

The tropical island setting is beautifully described, creating a vivid escape for readers. The looming hurricane adds an element of urgency and danger that heightens the stakes. Being forced into close quarters while sheltering from the storm creates a pressure cooker environment that’s perfect for peeling back their emotional walls and revealing their true feelings.

What makes Their Last Resort stand out is the balance between humor and heartfelt moments. Paige’s free-spirited nature contrasts with Cole’s methodical, buttoned-up persona, but as they’re forced to rely on each other, it’s clear that they complement one another in unexpected ways. The growth in their relationship feels organic, moving from reluctant allies to something deeper, with plenty of swoon-worthy moments along the way.

Grey’s signature blend of charm, humor, and heart is on full display in this romance, making Their Last Resort an absolute delight for fans of enemies-to-lovers tropes. With its tropical paradise setting, laugh-out-loud banter, and emotional depth, it’s the kind of book that sweeps you off your feet and leaves you with a smile long after the final page. Highly recommended for those looking for a feel-good romance with the perfect amount of heat and heart!

This book is such a fun beach read!

You get the romance, the banter, some comedy/tragedy, and mix it together for an entertaining read. I really enjoyed how different the two main characters were and how much they clashed during the beginning of the book.

I will say the tail end felt a little rushed but overall was an enjoyable experience.

R.S. Grey is one of my go-to authors! Her books are always funny and have a great plot. And this one was no different.

Paige and Cole’s banter is everything. I loved the enemies to lovers, opposites attract, stranded together trope. R.S. Grey has a way to make every book unique and funny. I read this one so fast.

In this workplace romcom, we get to meet Paige and Cole. This book does have the normal banter that we come to enjoy from a R.S. Grey book, but it was different than her normal ones overall. This had the insta love and he fell first, set in the tropical setting. I loved the dual POV. Overall this book was a good one. I did enjoy it. It felt rushed at times and not her normal writing but I would recommend it.

I received this ARC through the publisher and I am voluntarily reviewing this book, opinions are my own.

I hadn't read an R.S. Grey book in a long time, so I thought I would give this one a go. Unfortunately, this one wasn't for me. I DNF'd it by 30%. I couldn't get into the characters or the writing for this one.

It was enjoyable ride - very light and heartwarming, perfect as a vacation read. I loved how author build romance between this couple and how their feelings evolved going further into the storyline.

4 stars because I thinking expected a little more after reading the book ? IT was really good book but from other side nothing surprised me as I needed to.

This was my first rs grey book and it won't be my last. This book was fun and sexy with a little drama built in.

This is a rivals to lovers, workplace romance between resort workers, Paige and Cole. These two flawed but likeable souls and the unique plot make for an entertaining read. It is a slow burn love story with drama and steam, sexual tension and chemistry, and twists and turns, plus appealing secondary characters to keep the reader interested. An easy, fun read.

I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book from Grey's Promotions and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

I enjoy a workplace romance, and I also like opposites attract stories, and Paige and Cole are both. And, in most ways it worked.

I did think the opposites part of the story was a little too much at times, but I also get that this was where a lot of the funny moments in the story appeared, so I can also see why they were there.

This book is set in a resort and in a lot of ways it's the perfect vacation or beach read. And, not in a bad way...sometimes relaxing with a book with a good story and likeable characters dealing with issues that are pretty easily resolved is the perfect way to spend a day.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.

I love every book by this author. They’re always just so much fun and entertaining. It makes for great summer reading. This slow burn, Enemies to lovers story is so cute and perfect. It makes me so happy to read books written by this author because they’re always guaranteed a happily ever after and the characters are always just so endearing and sweet and fun and you just want them to get together

This was a right down the middle read for me.

The plot was cute but felt slightly disjointed in areas. I enjoyed it but this didn't flow like other previous Grey books.

The characters were enjoyable but felt very cookie-cutter and similar Grey's previous characters.

Their Last Resort was enjoyable. And while it wasn't one of my favorites, I know others will possibly enjoy it more.

4.75 ⭐️

This book was so cute. I loved reading it. I loved the characters & the setting. I loved the story taking place on an island & at a beach resort. I felt like it was new to me. And it really played a part in the story so you really saw the resort as you were reading which I loved. It was the perfect length. I didn’t feel like anything was cut short or dragged on.

I loved Paige. She was funny and cute and bubbly. She was the perfect match to Cole. I loved their banter that was sometimes one sided. The progression of their relationship was very smooth and believable.

This was a light, quick, fun, low angst escape from life read. I enjoyed it and had many laughs and chuckles. I found this to be a perfect beach read, but it was a very light and lacking in a push and conflict that I usually look for to help keep me anchored to the narrative. I will read Grey again, because her characters are funny and her dialogue is tight...something that I really enjoy

Thank you to NetGalley, Greys Promotions, and the author for this Advanced Copy.

Witty banter on a tropical island? Count me in. No third-act break up? Whoo!

Paige works at a resort as an activity guide, a place she can finally call home after moving around a lot as a child. She has friends and, most importantly, a frenemy. Or isn't he? Cole works at the same resort in a management position. On first glance they seem like total opposites. She's free, he's strict. She wears shorts and sandals, he wears suits all the time.

I loved the back and forth banter between the characters almost as much as I liked the forced (or somewhat chosen) proximity. There's no where to run, and all they can do is admit defeat.

They story flowed so easily and I found this a quick read, Perfect for summer reading!
