'The first rule of serving as the maid of honor at your perfect sister’s destination wedding? No mistakes.The second rule? No drama.
For Jess Chavez, a week in Maui is hardly a dream vacation—not when her sister expects her to be the perfect maid of honor. Not only does Jess have to fake perfection, but she can’t let anyone know she’s unemployed and barely scraping by. Above all, she needs to steer clear of Connor Blackwood, the sexy groomsman who broke her heart five years ago.
A family wedding offers Connor the ideal opportunity to convince everyone he’s no longer an irresponsible playboy. If they see he’s changed, they might support his decision to leave the family winery and strike out on his own. With so much at stake, the last thing he needs is an alluring distraction like Jess.
When Jess and Connor end up together, exploring the island’s lush, tropical beauty, the sparks between them become impossible to ignore. Throwing caution to the wind, they decide to make their own rules.
Five days of passion. No strings. No tears. No promises.
What could possibly go wrong?'
So this is the story of Jess and Connor, the first one in a new series called 'Blackwood Cellar' and let's say this based on this book alone I can't wait to read the rest of the series! The story is told over 39 Chapters, which may seem like a lot but they soon fly by.
Jess and Connor have so much history between them that it really grips readers interests. Readers will want to know every single detail of their long history. All the history is explored is this book from the moment they met to the last time these two people spoke.
Now not only is there a lot of shared history in this book, the story also contains its fair share of secrets. Secrets that as we all know must come out and come out they do. The author makes the reader wait while the secrets build, holding on until they truth is revealed. The out come of the truth still grips the reader and holds their attention.
Now this is one story that really will hold the readers attention from the moment they start, right up until they have read every last word. One thing that helps keep reader reading is that the story itself is utterly addictive. Watching Jess and Connor navigate this gorgeous setting while these 'sparks' continue to make themselves known.
Speaking of gorgeous setting, as the title mentions the majority of the story is set within the gorgeous Hawaiian Islands. The author really put in detail when they mention the backdrop of the story as well as the tropical beauty of the place.

Now let me tell you about the Author Carla Luna, who writes contemporary romance with a dollop of humor and a pinch of spice. She is a former archaeologist, who still dreams of travelling to far-off places and she channels that wanderlust into the setting of her stories. When Carla isn't writing, she works in a spice emporium where she gets paid to discuss food and share her favorite recipes. Her passions include Broadway musicals, baking, whimsical office supplies and pop culture podcasts. Though she has roots in Los Angeles and Victoria, B.C., she currently resides in Wisconsin with her family and her spoiled Siberian cat.
