About this listen

This match is no game.

When a rogue wave strips Tess Dunn of her bikini top, desperate, half-naked times call for desperate, please-cover-me-kids-are-coming-closer measures. Enter Lucas Karlsson, aka that flirty Swede-in-the-water-nearby. When he prevents her bare buoys from being exposed to fellow vacationers, even an ocean can't drown the sparks that fly.

Lucas, a former top-level tennis pro now giving lessons at the resort, fled there after the abrupt, painful end to his injury-plagued career. But he's finally ready to move on with his life - and after a few late-night hands-on sessions with Tess, he's eager to prove he's the ace she wants.

But this match comes with challenges: She's 40, and at 26, he's barely old enough to rent a car. Worse, they only have two weeks together before Tess returns to her assistant-principal life in Virginia. During that brief time, they'll have to play hard, take a few risks, and find out whether their chemistry is a one-shot wonder...or whether they're meant to be doubles partners for life.

It follows the Olivia Dade formula:
1) a plus sized professional woman who’s sworn off love
2) a conventionally attractive male romantic interest
3) a lot of back and forths along the lines of “a guy like that would NEVER be into a girl like me”
4) prolonged and very descriptive sexy sections
5) an altogether unnecessary and avoidable argument
6) an inevitable happy ending

Predictable? Yes.
Ground breaking? Not really.

But I still enjoyed the listen.

If you’re fine with the predictability, you’ll probably like it too.

A cute summer vacation romance.
