Newly divorced ghostwriter Saralyn jumps at the opportunity to vacation at the island where the movie based on one of novels was filmed. Believing the island to be uninhabited, she is shocked to discover the billionaire owner in residence. But soon she can’t deny her attraction to David despite their age difference.

I enjoyed reading this age gap romance. David’s upbringing on television from the seventies and eighties gives the couple common ground and sets the stage for a number of GILLIGAN’S ISLAND guffaws. As an inventor, David appreciates Saralyn’s creative process.

David’s backstory with his icy parents and lack of love provides for a touching character arc, while Saralyn breaks through self-esteem issues and ponders whether to continue ghostwriting or focus on writing novels under her own name.

The narrative felt repetitive at times, the plethora of exclamation points sometimes jarred me out of the story, and I would have liked to see a bit more conflict. The island setting was beautifully described as Saralyn and David fell in love.

Fans of THE IDEA OF YOU are sure to enjoy this older woman/younger man romance.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thanks to Harlequin Enterprises ULC for providing an Advance Reader Copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a delightful story about a romance author who can write the perfect man, but hasn't met one yet. Untill she meets a billionaire on vacation and her world is turned upside down. Loved!

I really enjoyed this story for several reasons. The first is that the characters are older and more established in their career in life.

I also love that we get a taste of Insta-love. Sometimes that just hits the spot. Nothing heavy to think about and we can go with the flow. The author took her time and built the main characters a wonderful basis for a long-lasting relationship.

What was great was that the characters took the time to learn about each other through activities and enjoy the amazing location the author brought us. It’s a location you dream of – mostly a private island with pristine beaches, beautiful weather, solitude, and a deliciously hot guy walking out of the ocean. Bliss!

Two Week Temptation in Paradise is an imaginative, light, and sexy read for those times when you don’t want to think about anything heavy! A perfect choice. Reverse age gap, a tropical island, and sweet sexy love. Great diversion read!
