hooked and hooked some more. Loved all of this and couldn't put it down. I was like oh my. I need to know more. Read it.
RS Grey used to be one of my auto one-click authors. I've read her entire backlist and even though I haven't been crazy about her last few releases, I still can't bring myself to give up just yet. This one isn't helping though. I personally didn't connect with the FMC, I found her to be immature and annoying. I found the pacing to be inconsistent as well. I don't know that I'm giving up just yet, but I really hope she goes back to her roots.
I've been an fan of R.S. Grey for a long time. She wrote another great book with "Their Last Resort". Paige and Cole are enemies to lovers with forced proximity thrown in.The book is not only romance but has great comedy in the book. Would recommend to anyone as a quick rom com read.
3.75 STARS
I really enjoyed the majority of this enemies to lovers romance. The story was developing great. Then at a spot it was like it got fast forwarded. It never quite recovered. I just wish it was slowed down and developed a bit there. Other than that I was an enjoyable read the kept my attention.
I voluntarily read an early copy.

This book was fun but sometimes a bit frustrating. The first part was definitely a very slow burn since it was mostly focused on Page and Cole’s relationship as" enemies", they felt a bit childish at times. But then there is a flashback and we finally get to the action. I absolutely loved the second part. It was sweet with a sprinkle of spice. The scenes in the hotel room are absolutely swoon-worthy. I think the author did a great job describing the tension! And when they finally snap and get together, aah very cute.
In the end, I enjoyed the book, I wish we saw more of them together rather than spending a lot of time as “enemies”
“Because every moment of my day is spent the same way. Hour after hour.
Minute after minute. I want you, you, always."
Thank you to Netgalley for the arc!
✨Thanks to Netgallery for giving me the opportunity to review an advanced reader copy of this book!✨
First of all, I adore RS Greys writing, and this book is no exception. Set in Turks & Caicos, Paige is the resort’s excursions expert (which may or may not result in the odd injury from time to time). She loves the laidback lifestyle and daily challenges of the resort. However she most definitely doesn’t love her arch nemesis, and number crunching colleague Cole. But when the resort is threatened with budget cuts and a hurricane, these two rivals realise they might have more in common than they realised….
Plot: 4/5
Characters: 4.25
Spice: 🌶️🌶️/5
Pros:
- loved the setting of the story - the hotel setting reminded me of the kdrama, “King the Land” meets tropical destination.
- Loved the dynamic between the main characters, and how shyness can be misunderstood as being rude or standoffish.
- I enjoyed how neither character tried to change each other, despite how different they were.
- the ending was just ✨chefs kiss✨
Cons:
- the pacing of the romance just wasn’t quite right for me. It felt like the characters went from rivals to lovers too quickly and gave some pretty strong declarations without a lot of warning.
- the FMC is very obvious, and even as the reader you can see the mistakes she’s making. At times I was cringing for her.
Overall: As a diehard lover of RS Grey, I adored the easy reading, feel good nature of this book. Was it a literary masterpiece, no, but did I walk away from reading it feeling good, absolutely. If you’re looking for a feel good romance whilst sipping a cocktail by the beach, this is perfect 🍹
This was another solid read from R.S. Grey. She's always consistent with her writing. While it wasn't my favorite of hers, it was still highly enjoyable. I loved the setting she put the book in. The main characters were interesting and easy to like. The banter and chemistry between them was perfection. This was major slow burn. I really wish we would have been able to see more of the couple finally together. It ended pretty quickly after that, which is really just me being selfish and wanting more time with them. R.S. Grey never disappoints and this was another fun, entertaining read from her.
Just what I needed! A fun love story in an amazing setting with great characters that kept me turning the page.
|love Paige & Cole! The character development and progression of their story was great. This was a comfort read for me. It made me feel all the feels!
Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review.
Their Last Resort is a cute and quick read, with charming characters in a beautiful setting.
While it's not my favourite book by R.S Grey (I personally love Anything You Can Do), Paige and Cole are a cute couple who you do end up rooting for, and the supporting characters are all a good laugh.
I personally thought Paige was really quirky and endearing, while Cole was a quiet man who knew what he wanted.
Thanks Netgalley for the ARC!
Thank you to NetGalley for an early copy of this book. R.S Grey has been a favorite of mine for awhile. I enjoyed this slow burn, and enemies to lovers, workplace romance. These two were fun. Cole is a quiet character that just gets under Paige’s skin. She is a quirky character who will have you laughing out loud. Together these two are entertaining and as the tension builds so does their feelings.
Netgally read
Their Last Resort is a delightful and amusing romantic comedy. I found it much more enjoyable than I initially thought I would! Its humor and charm really drew me in.
Paige is cheerful, carefree and loves her job at an upscale resort. Cole is conventional, reticent, and hardworking. They can't stand each other… or can they?
From the amusing dialogue between them to the chemistry and attraction, I loved every moment of this book! It's an enjoyable slow burn, but worth every second.
All the characters were written wonderfully, especially Cole.
Thank you, NetGalley and Montlake for a free copy of the book to review.
As a big fan of R.S. Grey's work, it saddens me to say that Their Last Resort is my least favorite book by her. R.S. Grey always does a fantastic job of keeping readers engaged and invested in her books. Unfortunately, this book didn't capitative me like others. The biggest problem I had with this book was the pacing. I wish we got to see more of Cole and Paige's relationship play out. It was hard to root for them when we barely got to see their interactions beforehand. I think if this book were longer, the pacing and character development would have been better. I did think there were some funny aspects to this story! I also liked the setting. Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for the ARC.
Paige Young and Cole Clark are polar opposites. A world traveler since birth, Paige loves to lead activities for guests at a luxury island resort in Turks and Caicos. From bingo nights to cliffside hikes, Paige is up for anything. Cole, meanwhile, prefers his number-crunching desk job. He’s the assistant director at the resort—stiff and meticulous. He’s so by the book that he keeps the book. In his desk drawer.
They’re perfectly aligned in one way, though—their ability to drive each other crazy. Every day brings a fresh battle of wits. They’re rivals, archnemeses…and they’re definitely never going to talk about that one time they kissed. Ha ha. Nope!
But when Paige finds out that Cole has been ordered to fire her on the same day a hurricane threatens their little slice of paradise, it’s clear the game is over.
At odds, in peril, and forced to shelter in place together, these two enemies might finally have to confront their true feelings. (You know, the ones hidden under all those withering looks.)

Best read everrrrrrr
I was not new to R.S Grey books and ofcourse since the beginning to end I have enjoyed the book like crazy. I couldn't stop wiping my smile of the face.
Rachel has a way with her characters. They're quirky, funny and realistic. Paige Cole banter from start has me hooked since start to end.
It's become common for me to have more of the characters once I finished the book.
R.S. Grey's writing style and the banter between the characters had me completely engrossed from the very first page. If you're a fan of "The Hating Game," you'll likely find "Their Last Resort" to be right up your alley. The enemies-to-lovers and opposites-attract tropes are seamlessly woven into the story, creating an engaging and enjoyable romantic comedy.
The development of the relationship between Cole and Paige was a highlight of the book, and the slow burn was delicious. The tension and banter between them created the perfect romantic atmosphere, and I couldn't help but root for them to get together.
However, I do agree that the development of their relationship towards the end felt a bit rushed. It would have been nice to see a few more scenes to further explore their growing feelings for each other. Despite this minor issue, I'd rate the book a solid 4 stars. It's a delightful and heartwarming read that's sure to make you smile, especially if you appreciate a good rom-com with charming characters and witty dialogue.
This is a holiday vibe romance where he definitely falls first and hard!
The book is a little jumpy in the story telling and I wasn’t sure if I was missing bits as I read but also our main female character Paige was a too immature in her thoughts and actions for me to really enjoy this book. She assumed way too much, which led to the misconceptions and miscommunications that were essentially fabricated by her impulses. The history of Paige and Cole isn’t clear and then seems to come out of nowhere in a sort of drip feed process.
Ultimately though the book is light fun and breezy romance
I received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
LOVE, LOVE, LOOOOOOVVVEEE, LOVED IT!!!… Absolutely stunning!!!… I was completely swept away!!… Had me interested from the start DO NOT START THIS UNTIL YOU CLEAR YOUR SCHEDULES AS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PUT IT DOWN!!!!… I
Reviewed for NetGalley:
A cute, enemies to lovers story taking place in a beautiful resort in Turks and Caicos.
I really enjoyed the banter and back and forth between Page and Cole, as that was the best part of the book.
I did have a hard time connecting with any side characters though. Overall enjoyable.
Opposites in every way but their sense of humour, Paige and Cole have spent six months butting heads at their jobs on a resort in Turks and Caicos. Their witty retorts to one another has me laughing throughout!
My only niggle was that while their relationship brewed over a few months, things seemed to happen really fast when they did get together. They went from rivals to I love you in the blink of an eye, and it almost felt anti climactic.
That being said, they were sweet and steamy when they got it together and I loved reading about the new side to their relationship. The chemistry was excellent!
A lovely read for the weekend!
Thank you NetGalley and Montlake for the DRC!
The book took a while to get going. A lot of tension and anger and cross words. Once the storm hits the island here they are, the storm really hits! There is a good chemistry detailed, with a bit of island resort life and great sex. The mean boss is exposed and there is a layered happy ever after that is sweet but not saccharine.
