Goodreads: A sweet and sizzling summer romance about a woman who takes a job at a bookstore in Nantucket and gets involved with the man who turns out to be her a billionaire bent on knocking the store down.

When book lover Jade Taylor applies to manage the Little Bay Book Shack on Nantucket Island over the summer, the last thing she needs is the distraction of billionaire resort owner, Liam Haven.

But things take an unexpected turn when Liam becomes Jade’s boss—a man who only reads contracts for pleasure…

In a bid to save the bookshop from being absorbed into the Haven resort, Jade is determined to teach Liam that there’s more to life than acquiring real estate. And if she can make him realize happily ever afters do exist, might she be able to save the island’s bookshop in the process?

Ope’s Opinion: Oh, this book had all the potential to be one of the best summers, but fell completely flat. The cover was great and the synopsis read like a perfect summer story. Unfortunately, from the first look the two main characters wanted each other physically and did not care about each other in any other way.

I wanted the MC’s to care about each other, have something in common, spend time together doing something other lusting for each other. The language and lack of story made me want to quit reading.

I have not read anything else by Kathryn Freeman. I wonder if all her books this way?
