Personally, I can’t imagine a more horrible job than a wedding planner. All those people. Having to deal with the people and their expectations which I bet can change from moment to moment. Worst of all? Having to be nice to all those people. Ugh (huge shudder wracks my body)! So, I could certainly understand Nate’s desire to come home at the end of the day, eat dinner, watch mindless TV, and go to bed. Two things attracted me to this story. One, I really adore this author’s writing and the opportunity to read less dark from her than the other works I’ve inhaled was too much to pass up. And, two, the blurb hooked me with Nate’s ingenious plan to have a “bad boyfriend.”

“…Nate wondered where he could find a bad boyfriend at short notice on an island. Of course, when he put it like that, there was really only one choice.”

Flynn is five years older than Nate and the crush Nate had on him when he was fifteen seems to still be lurking around. Flynn has only recently returned to the island after twenty years in London. There’s a lot of gossip, none of it good, revolving around what Flynn was doing in the city for all of those years. Most of it involves criminal behavior, ties to organized crime, a hidden wife and child, and all manner of nefarious activities. Since Flynn doesn’t talk about himself, Nate hasn’t got a clue what’s true and what isn’t. He only knows that Flynn took over his dad’s garage after the old man died, he works rescues for emergency services, and he’s still ridiculously sexy.
