Last Resort

I was interested in the premise of this book of a resort having a “lesbian week” where singles would come in and get matched up with dates through the week to try to find love. I was excited to begin the story and for the most part, I wasn't disappointed. The story was pretty straight forward and predictable, although I very much enjoyed the build between the main characters, Katie and Rhys. Katie is there because her family paid for her to be there. She doesn't really believe in love anymore but is willing to give things a shot. She meets Rhys on the first day and an instant friendship forms. Rhys falls for Katie pretty much immediately, but the ground rules were laid down from the start the Katie only had so much she was willing to give. The rest of the story is the zigs and zags of their relationship, seeing each other with other women, jealousy, desire, being scared to communicate, doing stupid things, etc.

For the most part, I enjoyed the book until close to the end. I felt like the last couple of chapters drug on a bit. It felt like the near HEA was close a couple of chapters before the end and things could have been wrapped up in a neater bow quicker. That's not to say the ending was bad. Based on other lesfic novels, I was expecting something quicker and more fulfilling.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.
