Synopsis
When small-town girl Emma LaRue won a vacation to an exclusive tropical island, a last minute cancellation meant she would be going by herself. Shy and studious, she never had time to fall in love, and often wondered if she was just meant to be alone. However, that all changed when a handsome stranger literally walked into her life while on the beach and sparks began to fly.
New York's most eligible billionaire bachelor Jack Saunders thought this vacation would be the perfect escape, one last hurrah, before taking full control of his father's company. When an innocent Emma didn't recognize him, he figured that he might get a chance to have a vacation from being rich. He didn't tell her about the cars, the yacht, or the penthouse. All he did was let her fall in love with him.
Soon, Jack found that he was the one falling in love with Emma. When they enjoy a fantasy marriage ceremony on the beach, they thought it was a bit of harmless fun before returning to their normal lives. A bittersweet goodbye was supposed to be the end of their perfect vacation romance, but when photos of the ceremony were leaked to the press, everything changed.
Feeling lied to and thrust into a world of wealth and privilege, Emma must choose between following her dreams or following her heart. Will she be content at being nothing more than the billionaire's wife, or will she return to her normal life with only memories of saltwater kisses?
Review
Emma LaRue won a radio station contest receiving an
exclusive tropical island vacation for two. When her sister has to cancel at
the last minute Emma has to go alone. Upon arriving at the hotel she is
enchanted by the beauty and the ocean which she has never seen before. While
sitting on the beach enjoying the sun she sees a woman struggling with a man in
the water. Without thinking she rushes in to help starting CPR when the get to
land and saving his life. She also encounters Jake who was walking along the
beach when he happened upon the accident.
The two start talking finding that while she’s a small
town girl he’s the son of a wealthy business owner but he doesn’t tell her
which one. He’s taking one final vacation before taking over the company. Together
they find companionship spending the whole week together as much as they can
each knowing it will end when they return to their real lives.
On a whim they get
married knowing it’s not legal and when they return to their normal lives it
will just be a memory. Jake isn’t just some wealthy son of a business man he’s
New York’s most eligible bachelor and the press gets wind of their wedding.
Soon Emma is forced into Jack’s world to play his wife until the press dies
down putting her dreams on hold. Will it all work out of backfire in their
faces?
I like Emma she’s a total sweetheart, however being a
small town girl I didn’t expect her to jump right into the sack with Jack. Their
romance is sweet taking two people from different worlds and finding love. While Jack is doing the right thing taking
over his father’s company he also is a good guy even if he is a workaholic. They
needed each other on vacation finding what their lives had been missing and I
love the two of them together.
I’ve had Saltwater Kisses on my kindle forever and the
other day I grabbed the fourth one I think as a kindle freebie. So I decided it
was time to check them out and I’m glad I did. I could have stayed up all night
reading if not for needing to get up early. It’s a fast paced story that kept
me on the edge of the seat wanting to know what was going to happen between
Emma and Jack next. I’m a fan of well written chick lit that has a story that
isn’t overloaded with steamy scenes and this one is my kind of book. The characters
are easy to connect with you can’t help loving Emma she’s so sweet. I just finished
and I can’t stop smiling the book made my whole day. While it does have a few
steamy scenes I can see mature teens as well as adults enjoying this book. I
know it’s the kind of book I would have read as a teen. Plus I love the cover
makes me want to take a vacation to the beach. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the
series.
4 out of 5 stars
