The music slowed and the emcee crooned, "And now,ladies and gentlemen, a tribute to all those in love, performedĪt first, James thought he was seeing things. He soon discovers that the bottom-line is a choice between business, as he knows it, and love. James is certain that his fascination with Hokulani will not distract him from his business goals. She is determined to maintain the spirit of aloha at the Breezeway, despite James’s mainland business approach and his emphasis on the bottom-line.
Hokulani is committed to her family’s legacy to preserve and share the Hawaiian culture. His plans quickly start to unravel when he falls for Hokulani Kawelu, the owner’s hula dancing daughter. When he invests in the Kona Breezeway Inn, he is confident that as the general manager he will turn a profit within three years. James craves one thing-a lucrative investment property that affords him the opportunity to earn his father’s respect. In exchange, mainlander James Westerman takes control of the daily operations. With the imminent threat of foreclosure of their beloved Kona Breezeway Inn, the Kawelu family is forced to take on an investor. I will not change or alter this review for any reason.Now that James Westerman has invested in the Kona Breezeway Inn, will he be able to stay focused enough to turn a profit, or will the hula-dancing owner distract him from his goals?
I am not paid or compensated in any way, shape or form for this review. I look forward to reading more books in the series (all books are standalones).ĭisclaimer - Thank you, Jackie Marilla, for sending me an ebook copy for an honest review. The writing flowed smoothly and I enjoyed the story for the most part, except for Chad’s reaction to a mistake Kristin made a year ago. This sweet, clean romance is definitely very clean-meaning the couple doesn’t even kiss until the last scene of the book. She tried to explain even though she did nothing wrong but he wouldn’t act like a mature adult and listen to her until days later after his mom talked to him. Although I’d already guessed what her secret was, I didn’t expect him to act so callous and childish. When he finds out her secret, he’s devastated and believes she lied to him. Everyone keeps telling him she’s a keeper and Chad pursues her even though he thinks she’s not interested. She moves into a small cabin on Chad’s parents’ property and she lets him know right away that she just wants to be friends (that she can’t be in a relationship but she secretly wants him anyway) after he hits on her. Chad’s girlfriend broke up with him the day before but he instantly gets over her as soon as he sees Kristin. Kristin moves to Mercy Ridge for a fresh start as the new third grade teacher.
