Acerca de esta escucha
After losing her husband to a sudden heart attack, Tess Mathews escapes to Bora Bora to lay her husband and sorrow to rest. What she doesn't expect is a new beginning.
Tom Clemmins is an A-list actor whose life revolves around work and an onslaught of women. He travels to Bora Bora for a much-needed break. Tom has a few ideas of how he'll enjoy his vacation, but love isn't one of them. Until he sees Tess.
Reserving a private shark-feeding excursion to scatter her husband's ashes into the lagoon, Tess is furious when Mr. Hollywood bribes his way onto the boat, leaving her no other choice but to share the boat ride.
Tess is torn between tremendous guilt and zealous lust when their boat ride turns into a week full of romance and desire neither thought imaginable. Utterly smitten with a woman for the first time in his life, Tom casts his commitment phobia aside and whisks Tess off to Malibu where he introduces her as his "girlfriend" on the red carpet.
As the paparazzi besiege, can Tess survive the media blitz that ensues in order to find her second chance at love?

Historia
Carter Beckett is the NHL’s resident bad boy, top player both on the ice and in the bedroom, and quite possibly the sexiest man to ever grace my field of vision. But worst of all? He knows it. He’s arrogant, self-centered, and the man doesn’t seem to know what a filter is, let alone how to use one. He’s had everything served to him on a silver platter, including endless strings of women, and apparently, I’m up next. I have the solution to all my sexual frustrations in a drawer at home, and it’s far less complicated than Carter Beckett.

Historia
Tucker Decker is an infamous billionaire. He likes his relationships casual and his commitments without strings. But when it comes to his former bandmates, he’d do anything for them. Tragedy demands sacrifice. I’m an independent woman. I’ve learned never to ask for help. And I certainly didn't want it from Tucker. When my sister left us both to care for my niece, we realize co-parenting may be harder than we thought. Especially when we're fighting a desire for each other. When the ghosts of our past come back to haunt us, will we find that there's still an us after all?

Hockey star Max Yearwood was everything I needed at the time - fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months, since he’d signed with a new team 3,000 miles away. Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right? Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.

It all started with an unexpected phone call. Two years after my fiancé passed away in an accident, his father died suddenly, leaving Brad’s adult special-needs brother with no one to care for him. The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home. The last thing I ever expected? I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone.

I could go on and on, really. When my boss gives me an unwanted assignment, and tells me it involves spending time with the grandson of one of our residents, the grandson turns out to be Troy. Lucky me.

If Renn Brewer would’ve asked me to marry him, I would’ve said no. Why? One, his reputation precedes him. His name is in the headlines at least once a month. Two, he’s not just my brother’s best friend. They’re teammates. And three, I’m in my self-care era. Unfortunately, a version of me equates self-care with bad choices.

Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

I shouldn’t have hooked up with my one-night stand...again. To be fair, I was having the worst day of my life. I was sure that nothing else could go wrong. Then in walks Jordan Wright. We have a heated history, and I’ve been avoiding him. Not least of all because he’s a hundred percent my type with those big brown eyes, a ripped body, and his blisteringly broody charm. I said I’d never go near him again. But he’s there for me when I need him. And well, old habits die hard.

Hockey player Leo Trevi has spent the last six years trying to do two things: get over the girl who broke his heart, and succeed in the NHL. But on the first day he's called up to the newly franchised Brooklyn Bruisers, Leo gets checked on both sides. First by the team's coach, who has a long simmering grudge, and then by the Bruisers' sexy, icy publicist - his former girlfriend Georgia Worthington. Saying goodbye to Leo was one of the hardest things Georgia ever had to do - and saying hello again isn't much easier.

Just didn't grab me...
- I only gave the book 3 stars because I just found it uneventful and boring. Not even sure why it was boring -maybe I just couldn't really connect with the characters? And nothing intriguing happened? I'm searching here. It has a lot of sex, which does not make a book bad or good to me...depends on if their is build up, hotness, tenderness. This has hotness and fun and tenderness, but just never felt connected to the characters. I really just didn't find it very interesting and was wanting it to be over.

Sweet Opposites Attract Romance
Tess Mathews suddenly lost her husband after 25 years of marriage. Now a year later, she is leaving her 3 grown children to spread his ashes alone at the place they both loved. It was a very emotional scene but the man who hijacked her tour made it easier for her. This man turned out to be Tom Clemmins, a very famous actor. He was attracted to her from the start but she wasn't as smitten at first. He is everything Tess's husband wasn't but everything she needs. They start a whirlwind, passionate romance and learn to navigate each other's lives along the way. Valerie Gilbert did a wonderful job bringing this story to life. Her voice changes for each character were effortless and her inflections engaging. This is a sweet, sexy, fun romance with very little drama or angst.

A dandy escape read!
I was prepared to feel pretty snarky about it, but found it to be really good. I mean, to afford to just fly off to the South Seas to scatter the beloved husband's ashes and get swamped by a Hollywood idol? But it turned out to be well done and a really lovely escape read that I recommend wholeheartedly!
Probably the best reason for my own enjoyment is that I have the audio interpretation by Valerie Gilbert who always adds so much to a book's characters.

Truly a winner!
I truly love Beverly Preston's work!
I didn't read the stories in order, but that didn't harm the story in any way!
This story was truly a great love story and I was in love with Tess & Tom!
The story has so many facets to it... A strong woman who has to remain strong after a sudden tragedy. A mother who has to keep up a smile while her children worry if she will be ok. And children who are worried about their mother and want her to get that smile back.
And then there is Tom who is living the life of a STAR and just trying to get in some relaxation. He is on vacation in Bora Bora and runs into Tess.
Finding love after tragedy is the journey that Tess is on. It isn't something she expected, but she finds a way to start the day anew.
I loved how the story was told. And the narrator brought the story to life!
Definitely looking forward to listening the rest of the series.

Yes, this is a fantasy of sorts.....
Good story and even better message - never take good things for granted. They really could go away unexpectedly. Book not just for young adults.
Narrator is very good. I rated book four stars only because of the Tess character being so aggressive sexually. Not realistic and added nothing to the book. Just too much or would have rated five stars.
