I am back and forth on this title, honestly.
I liked Paige and I liked Apollo. I thought they seemed like real people, and I thought their reactions were real. But, for me, the situations they found themselves in just didn't quite work for me.
They had a fling 3 years ago, and on the heels of a messy and awkward break up, Paige decides to see f the marriage in Vegas from 3 years ago actually happened. I get not looking into silly things that happen on vacation, but she lives in Las Vegas, the fling was with Apollo. So, I was not able to quite get past that issue. So, no matter how much liked the central characters, not believing the premise makes it a little tough to fully invest in the story.
That said, this was a quick read, and it was fun. It lived up to it's name, even if there was nothing spectacular about it and it was, in places, a bit cliche. I liked the use of Greece as almost another character in the story, and I was able to buy into the eventual resolution of their relationship the fact that they each lived in different countries, so that helped at the conclusion of the story.
Basically, I enjoyed this. I didn't love it, and it definitely had points that took me out of the story, but it is a good, lighter read. I do recommend it.
About the Author:
Kat Mizera is a South Florida native. Born in Miami Beach with a healthy dose of wanderlust, she’s called Los Angeles, Long Island, upstate New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Atlanta home. She’s never been able to pick which locale is her favorite, but if pressed, she’d probably choose the west coast.
Kat’s a typical PTA mom with a wonderful and supportive husband (Kevin) and two amazing boys (Nick and Max). When she’s not writing, she’s either scrapbooking or indulging in her second love (after writing) – traveling. Greece is one of her favorite places in the world. She loves that Athens is a big city with a small-town feel. The food, beaches and culture keep her going back as often as possible. She hopes to retire there one day so she can spend her days writing books on the beach.
Kat has been a working freelance writer for nearly 30 years. She sold her first article–a review of a rock concert–for $10 in 1985. Since then she’s been an entertainment journalist, waitress, bartender, legal assistant, food critic, magazine editor, substitute teacher, and sports writer. She also spent some time working at A & M Records in Los Angeles.
As you can guess from her series, the Las Vegas Sidewinders, Kat loves hockey. She is also a freelance hockey writer, covering her favorite team, the Florida Panthers, and any other teams that have an interesting story. The rest of the time, she writes novels: sexy, romantic fiction that she hopes makes you as happy as it makes her. There’s something enticing about hockey players and romance…
