Last Resort by K. Bromberg
3.0
3.5 stars
K. Bromberg kicks off her new S.I.N. series with Last Resort, a delectable workplace romance set in the Virgin Islands.
What could be better than one hunky hero? Three gorgeous billionaire brothers to drool over. There’s a bit of a twist there, but I won’t spoil it. The Sharpe brothers own Sharpe International Network, a worldwide brand of luxury resorts. Sutton Pierce is the consultant tasked with turning around their underperforming resort in the Virgin Islands. She’ll need to be on site at the resort for two months (oh, the horror) while working on a plan, under the close supervision of Callahan Sharpe. He’s the wild child, black sheep of the family. He also happens to be the man she unknowingly indulged in a one-night stand with.
I liked the first half of the book more than the second. The building of the relationship between Sutton and Callahan. Discovering ways to improve the resort. Sutton’s friendship with Lizzie. But then things happen too abruptly. After sticking with her decision to not sleep with Callahan throughout most of the book, Sutton does a sudden change of face at the most improbable of times. The animosity between Callahan and his brothers is also resolved too quickly.
I would have enjoyed exploring some other parts of the story more. For example, it would have been nice to see the impact of renovating the resort. As it is, it’s like watching an HGTV makeover show without the big reveal at the end. And wouldn’t it have been fun to make Sutton’s douchey ex eat crow after seeing her success in love and in business?
Still, it’s a good launch to the series, and I’m looking forward to reading about Ledger and Ford finding love.
