This book started out strong. I was really into the story and the potential romance. It lost me a little in the middle with a few too many characters and small side stories. The ending was good. I loved the New Zealand setting and the second chance aspect. Even though we are filled in with what happened in the past to break the couple apart, I never did feel fully invested in their romance. I am going to continue on to the next book in the series. ( )

Typical boy and girl grew up together. She is the younger sister of his best friend. He's the older pal with whom she falls in love with. Slight twist here....they have a sexual relationship when he is 20 and she's 18.
Since his mother walked out on him and his father he has a problem believing anyone can love him or that they will stay around for the long run. So Ryan "West" Westlake does what every man in his shoes would do...he breaks Piper's heart and forces her to leave him. Sure in his mind he's doing the right thing because he knows she would stay with him and give up her dream of becoming a police officer.
Well not more than a day or so after the big break up Piper's father, Michael, asks her to be his spotter...he's a competitive deep sea free diver. Yup you guessed it, something went horribly wrong and he passes. Piper is riddled with guilt, she thinks because she was so concentrated on her broken heart she didn't notice her dad in trouble and therefore didn't save him.
Nine years have passed and she has come back home. Her brother,Ben, has had an accident and is in financial trouble. The whole family needs to pull together to make sure he doesn't lose his home and family business.
Will the sparks still fly when Piper and West see one another? Can this family heal all it's invisible wounds or will they lose each other more than they already have? And what is going on with West's dad, Bill...is he ill?
I won't give away any more of the plot or points of interest but will say it's a true love conquers all story. I cried to know what Piper felt, how guilty and helpless. Seeing the whole family still dealing with Michael's death and the secrets each of them sought to hide from everyone.
West....his emotional journey and growth in this book gave me a few tears too. How can a successful and charming man be such a damaged child on the inside? And will he learn his lessons and forgive before history repeats itself.
A good way to spend an afternoon. ( )

After nine years, Piper Harland returns to the small town in New Zealand where she grew up. She had left to become a police officer following the death of her father and never looked back. But she hasn’t told her family that she’s now a diver who retrieves the dead, a guilt-ridden career path she chose to make up for the drowning of her dad. Piper’s sudden appearance rattles Ryan “West” Westlake. They were hot and heavy in high school, but he ended it abruptly, for reasons he felt justified at the time. Once these two reunite, sparks fly immediately. This story was difficult to put down, moving along at a good clip. The interplay between Piper and West is tension-filled and the love scenes are smoldering. You’ll alternately flip the pages and fan yourself. A great read! ( )

I loved this New Zealand Island romance. What a wonderful experience. The writing was so vivid I could see the images and walk along side these fabulous characters. This was like taking a vacation without the cost and long flight. The characters, there is no way you can't help but admire, like and wish the best for them. They have realistic problems, and deal with them is easy to believe ways, and even have believable sex. Yes you heard that right, there were no extreme unrealistic descriptions or actions- thank the gods ! I'm off to read another from this author. ( )

At first I felt somewhat disconnected from the story. It didn't grab me right away -took me a little while to get hooked but I'm so glad I stuck with it.

Once I really got into it, there were so many things I liked about the book, it wasn't just the main characters but all of them. I loved the small town island setting and the fact that everyone was like one big family. It's one of those books that you want to live in!

I really enjoyed the interaction between Piper and West, especially how it evolved throughout the book. It was very emotional and I found myself brokenhearted at times but also laughing and swooning in other occasions. The love scenes were very well-written, descriptive enough to keep you on the edge of your seat but not so much that they became boring.

Piper was great as a strong female lead, I found myself rooting for her from the start, truly hoping she got her happy ending after having gone through so much heartache. Not just from having her heart broken by West nine years ago, but also the death of her father, the guilt and the alienation that came afterwards.

West was definitely likable and swoon worthy but in the beginning I didn't quite trust him. This obviously changed as the story progressed and I got to know more about him. By the end I was totally captivated by West. What's not to love, he was hot, playful and flirtatious.

"West stopped digging long enough to tug the hem of his shirt up to wipe his brow, exposing the hard planes of his stomach. He winked when he turned his head and caught her staring."

I really loved moments like this between them and I really enjoyed reading this book.

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review* ( )
