This is the second novel by this author and I have to say, I am enjoying her fun little stories about the adventure of falling in love.

This story begins with a small-town girl named Emma goes on a dream vacation to a tropical island...alone. She won the trip calling a radio station during a contest. I was instantly excited because I won a similar vacation on the radio not too long ago. Crazy right? Anyways, so Emma goes on this vacation and somehow ends up in the right place at the right time and assists in a water rescue of a man who had a heart attack while swimming. The other person to help her happens to be a gorgeous single billionaire who she instantly connects with. They spend the rest of her trip together.

But then he goes home and so does she. Emma thinks their fling with Jack is over until fate would intervene once more and she is swept up in a paparazzi nightmare. Jack was that important and the tabloids would love to harass Emma endlessly.

This story is full of "1% chances." She wins the vacation, she gives someone CPR (stayin' alive, stayin' alive.... ah ah ah ah stayin' aliiiiiiiiive) meets a billionaire, ends up whisked away to his pent house. Every few chapters I kept saying "No way!" It was exciting and fresh. I enjoyed having a vacation from the ordinary or a while and reading this book.

My only regret is that I read it when I did, because it would have been the perfect beach reading material for my own trip this fall. Shucks! :)

It also left us on somewhat of a cliff hanger...grrr. BUT, good news, there's a second novel coming out very soon that tells the story of one of the minor characters in Salt Water Kisses. So hopefully we will get to check back in on Jack and Emma.
