Once upon a time, Jack Thornfield and Beth Allen had a great
time on an exotic holiday trek in Corsica. That was the
beginning of a steamy romance that held great promise; and,
in fact, it lead to a marriage proposal. But, suddenly, one
day, Jack disappeared from Beth's life -- with no
explanation, with no good-bye, and no looking back.
Fast forward eight years. Beth is suddenly in a position to
need to help her family out. Her father has had a terrible
accident which has forced him to take time off from his
business, and her sister has just gotten into university.
Beth submits her résumé to a firm in London that organizes
travel adventures, and - surprise! - the job reports to none
other than Jack!
Because of the necessity of her familial situation, she
begrudgingly accepts the job, but only upon the condition
that Jack treats her as any other employee and that he put
aside their history. He readily agrees to the condition,
but they find that neither of them are particularly good at
forgetting the past. However, Beth and Jack manage things
just fine (Beth has a boyfriend and Jack is seeing a woman)
until they end up scouting a new potential travel package
together... in Corsica.
This book was a fun, flirty, fast read. The ending was a
bit predictable, but it also ended as it should have, so I
can't complain too much. The characters were
well-developed, even Beth's boyfriend Marcus, who is as
shallow as they come. The relationship between Beth and her
assistant Freya is fun to watch develop, and the bond
between Beth and her sister is the type that children
long for.
Overall, this was a great book, and would make the perfect
beach read,
in only the best sense of the term, as most of the book
focuses on vacation getaways. As one reads this on the
beach, one could imagine other vacations in other far off
places.
Jack Thornfield, new CEO, is shocked to see his long lost
love, Beth Allen\'s resume come across his desk. After 8
years apart they have a second chance at happiness in this
romantic story about love and secrets.
