🌿 If you like enemies to lovers, look no further. Paige and Cole are true enemies to lovers, forced to be around each other, because Cole just happens to be her boss at the resort they work for.

🌿 Paige is the activity lead for guests at the resort and Cole works a desk job, complete polar opposites. Just when things start to take a turn for the worse for Paige a hurricane hits and they take shelter together where they face their true feelings for one another.

🌿 This book is a slow burn which I'm not usually a fan of, but the book isn't super long which made it an easier read for me. I loved the plot, and obviously a happily ever after is all we all want, however I felt the L word was used quite early. I love the way R.S.Grey writes her characters! The banter is unmatched and had me laughing until I cried!

🌿 What to expect: Forced Proximity, Enemies to Lovers, Boss, Workplace Romance, Romantic Comedy, One Bed, HEA.

Thank you Netgalley for giving me access to this book for my honest review.

Paige is a free spirit, try anything once. She leads excursions at the resort she works at. Cole is second in charge and never lets anything happen unless it's by the book. When Cole is ordered to fire Paige by his a-hole boss all the underlying will they/won't they comes to the forefront. The Cole-Paige banter was what this story had going for it. Everything else was just okay.

After downloading this title. I didn’t know much about the book or author.

However, this book had me hooked from the first few chapters. I definitely enjoyed this enemies to lovers trope. R S Grey did a great job with the plot. I shall be downloading/buying more of her books.

Their Last Resort was such a sweet read. I haven’t read anything new from Grey in several years and now I definitely want to dive into her backlist. The banter was playful and their moments together had me swooning.

I’ve been reading R.S. Grey’s books for year, and she has become of my one click authors so I really excited to read this book.
Paige and Cole are the classic enemies to lovers, well more like Frenemies I wouldn’t say they were true enemies. There’s also an element of opposites attract as these two characters couldn’t be more different. I enjoyed both of their personalities, I probably related more to Cole in that I’m more reserved and on the quiet side, but Paige does sound like a lot of fun.
I really enjoyed the setting of the book, Turks and Caicos seems like absolute paradise, I mean just go and google it the images alone are breath taking. The island life that Paige and Cole are living sounds perfect.
I enjoyed the pacing of the romance, the slow burn hit the mark just right. It was nice that Cole and Paige already had a bit of history, it made their relationship a bit more real and developed.
Overall this a fabulous read, I can definitely see it being the perfect beach read when its released next year.

R.S. Grey has been an auto-buy author for me for a long while and I was thrilled to see one of her titles available on Netgalley. Their Last Resort compiles Grey's signature humor, tension, and heartfelt happily ever afters into an entertaining read. While I was thrilled to see Grey's wit shine through this story, the pacing felt off to me. The story is told in present day, but the order in which we learn Paige and Cole's history didn't feel natural to me. I wished while I was reading that I had known more about Paige and Cole's relationship up front, before the in-book shenanigans ensue. I think that the cast of characters in this book was endearing and provided great comedic relief. Grey's hilarious delivery helped me to persevere through the book despite pacing issues. I also did not find the romantic resolution as satisfying as Grey's other books, but that is just a preference thing.

I also love the colors on the cover, but find the couple's placement off. I think that the publisher could do a better job of designing it to be cohesive with Grey's other published works.

3.75 stars. Enemies to lovers is probably my favorite trope when executed well, and Their Last Resort delivered! I loved Cole and grew to love Paige, although she does fit the formulaic “quirky/awkward” MC that this author loves to write. But it was done well here. Funny, slow-burn, great for fans of The Hating Game.

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for this free advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

If I was writing a movie review (hard to do for a book, I know), I would write something like “Paige and Cole are the most fun you’ll read all year!”, “The wildest, funniest, most engaging couple of the year!”, or the classic “Two thumbs up.”

But this is a book review, so I need to explain my joy in reading this novel with more words. Paige and Cole have a job reversal over how most authors would write their characters. Paige is the outdoorsy athlete who leads resort excursions and Cole is the Assistant Director of the resort with a head for accounting. Paige is a sexy, capable woman who is fun. Cole, too, but his playfulness comes from Paige most of the time. I’ve missed fun characters, and I am so glad to see them written skillfully.

The banter is first-rate writing. Not just the banter, but the thought processes for Paige are a hoot. The love story is a bit of a slow burner in a very enjoyable way.

This is a book that I would read a second time, just to enjoy the witticism of the two characters. Fantastic novel. 100% recommend.

I have read every book R.S. Grey has ever self-published so I am beyond thrilled for her to be working with Montlake. She consistently writes, funny, sexy, dreamy contemporary romances and Their Last Resort delivered on all three fronts. I can't wait to read what she writes next.

This was my first ARC and I'm so excited to have had the chance to read it!
It was so fun and sweet, with just the right amount of spice sprinkled in as well. It also hit so many favorite tropes of mine: enemies to lovers, forced proximity, one bed, The banter was top notch and I found myself laughing out loud so many times throughout the book, without the moments feeling too cheesy. Overall, I enjoyed the writing style and development of the character's relationship, especially without the classic third act break-up, which sometimes feels unnecessary. At times, I felt that Paige's reactions were slightly out of proportion or immature, however she is only 25, so that also makes sense!
Definitely worth the read if you're looking for a light easy read!

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this digital ARC!

This book features the authors signature style of humor. It makes you laugh right away and from the minute it starts, you're rooting for the hero and heroine to get together! what else could you want in a romance?
but alas, when the hero and heroine DO get together, the ILY seems very abrupt and I didn't trust it as a reader so it's hard to believe the characters were all in from the first moment.

i loved the various tropes in this book- only one bed, opposite's attract, enemies to lovers, workplace romance

steam level: 3 out of 5
stars: 3.5 out of 5

thanks to the publisher and the author for the advanced readers copy of this book!

If you're new to this author- she has SO many good books, so hunt for the tropes you like and give her a go!

This book had ny favorite setting. Beach and resort !
Paige was very cute and Cole was shy and together they made a fantastic couple. The first half was really interesting but the second half went by really fast and could have been more detailed . I really liked the side characters Lara and Camille.
The chemistry was really great and their banter was funny! All in all a great fun read!

This was adorable. I think it would make a fun vacation read! I loved the setting at a posh resort on Turks & Caicos. Having said that, I do wish that there were a few more scenes with banter & conflict between Paige & Cole. The few banter scenes that we get in the first half of the book are fantastic. It is still a fun read, but not my favorite by this author.

From the moment I started Their Last Resort, I was irresistibly drawn in. Having been a dedicated fan of R.S. Grey for a decade, I can attest that her storytelling prowess continues to evolve with each book. For me, she writes absolutely brilliant rom-coms that are true to their genre. I always manage to laugh-out-loud with her romances, and this one was no exception.

Paige's fiery spirit immediately resonated with me. Her passion for her profession and the zest with which she approaches every day is truly commendable. Paige's introduction through Cole's perspective had me initially wary of him but as I delved deeper into Cole's thoughts and witnessed his underlying protectiveness towards Paige, he completely won me over. They were such a cute pair.

The simmering tension and playful banter between Cole and Paige kept me riveted. The slow progression of their relationship, peppered with their delightful disagreements, made me cherish every moment leading up to their romance.

If you're emerging from a heavy read or battling a reading rut, this book promises to uplift your spirits. I found myself beaming throughout my reading journey as this was such a fun, joyful read.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Montlake Publishing for a copy of this novel. ARC provided in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the angst and tension between the two main characters. I loved how the story developed in the past and present. it was unique in the sense we got the past povs of the characters as they thought about the incidents and not how they took place. That was unique. I have loved author R S Grey's writing style in all the books and this one was no different. It was highly entertaining and fast paced quick read for when you just wanna take a vacation sitting in your own house.

The banter in this book gets it a 4 star rating! I laughed out loud so many times while reading about Paige and Cole’s interactions! Paige has a lot of cringeworthy moments but she is so endearing in her awkwardness that it makes her such a lovable character. I enjoyed the enemies-to-lovers plot, but thought that the time between when they recognized their feelings for each other to declaring their love was really fast, and it would have made more sense for them to fall into like long before that happened. I liked how the situation with their job played out and think the author did a great job having Cole and Paige tackle that fiasco as a team rather than going down the road of a third act breakup. This book is definitely a good pick if you want something fun and light!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read a digital ARC in advance of publication in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute read. I enjoyed the tropical vibes and the banter between the main characters. The inner dialogue felt a little long and quirky at some points, but I couldn’t put this down

I’m fairly certain I have read every RS Grey book and I will continue to do so! I love how every story is easy to follow, well written, and sexy.
This was not among my favourites, but it was definitely an easy read. I found Paige to be annoying and in the real world I can’t see how Cole and Paige could be a couple. Their banter was interesting and kept my attention, but it wasn’t my cup of tea overall. The overall comedic tone was entertaining but I definitely prefer RS Grey’s romances that are a little deeper.

I am one of those people, who what they see a new R.S. Grey book picked it and read it.
So was also in this case. I love me some Greys romance.
But... this one just did not sit right with me.
I am sorry for saying this, but it is like, someone else wrote this book. I just can not feel R.S magic in this one.
It is a cute story, but it is just that a cute 3 stars read, nothing more...

This was sooooo good! The banter between the characters at the beginning actually felt real - which sometimes isn't the case. But this was a great balance between the banter and the sexual tension that really had me scrolling through the pages as fast as possible.
If you like enemies to lovers, you'll like this one - for sure. They had a believable rivalry that culminated in a misunderstanding that, thankfully, wasn't dragged out longer than I felt was realistic. Cole and Paige have some great sexual tension that Grey was able to capture well on the page .
Do they have to share only one bed at one point? Yes, of course.
Does he fall first? Absolutely.
Is he her boss? Unequivocally.
------
The only reason this was a 3.75 (maybe a 4??) for me was because the l-word seemed to come out of nowhere. It was honestly jarring and I felt like there could have been more lead-in to get to that point. I understood that Cole basically loved her right away but it still felt..... wayyyy too fast. Aside from that, just a few minor things. But I would absolutely recommend this book to friends and plan on reading more by this author!
