14th book of 2022
Third book in the Little Bridge Island series
Welcome to Little Bridge, one of the smallest, most beautiful islands in the Florida Keys.
Jo Wright always swore she’d never step foot on Little Bridge Island—not as long as her nemesis, bestselling author Will Price, is living there.
Then Jo’s given an offer she can’t refuse: an all-expense-paid trip to speak and sign at the island’s first-ever book festival.
Even though arrogant Will is the last person Jo wants to see, she could really use the festival’s more-than-generous speaking fee. She’s suffering from a crippling case of writer’s block on the next instalment of her bestselling children’s series, and her father needs financial help as well.
Then Jo hears that Will is off-island on the set of the film of his next book. Hallelujah!
But when she arrives on Little Bridge, Jo is in for a shock: Will is not only at the book festival, but seems genuinely sorry for his past actions—and more than willing not only to make amends but prove to Jo that he’s a changed man.
Things seem to be looking up—until disaster strikes, causing Jo to wonder: Do any of us ever really know anyone?

Review
I had so much fun reading this book that I can easily say that it’s my favourite of all three.
I connect so much with Jo, one of the main characters. She hates Will so much, but without a real explanation, like the event that makes her hate him, it is totally acceptable, but after, everything he is doing is an excuse to hate him more. Like she is convincing herself to hate him. The truth is I have done that once, and that was so fun to read about it because I know how you can transform everything done or said to hate someone. This is the first hate to love trope that I didn’t mind at all.
Like in the previous book, you have a lot of old characters or places that appear in this volume. I thoroughly enjoy that as even if the stories in this series are different, you have a link between them made by those elements. Also, I want to know what they have become and have just a glimpse of that it’s so good, especially in this one.
The story has a lot of different media, texts, emails, etc. This was a fantastic addition to the book; you are so much more immersed, thanks to that.
The whole book is set during a weekend, which can make you think of insta-love, but as they know each other before this weekend, you finish with a medium-burn (?) love. The thing that is insta-something is the realisation of Jo about her behaviour and what it can hide. However, in the end, it becomes a lot slower, and it totally corresponds to their personalities and relationship.
A romance so gripping that you don’t want for it to end.
Liz.
