Three years ago, marine biologist Hope Evans dropped everything, including her boyfriend, to help out her best friend. Now Hope is ready to get back to her first love—shark research. Her ex’s cousin has found her the perfect summer job as an assistant aboard a shark-research boat. What Hope doesn’t know is that the boat belongs to her ex, Adrian Hollis-Parker. Adrian has become a YouTube star who educates people about the misunderstood shark. He’s just as surprised to see Hope as she is to see him; he spent the past three years trying to forget their painful breakup. Seeing her again, he’d prefer to send her packing, but his crew desperately needs another marine biologist to share the workload. Will Hope and Adrian be able to part ways when summer ends, or will the weeks spent in close quarters rekindle their love? These likable characters have immediate, unignorable chemistry, despite their reservations about each other.
VERDICT This second-chance romance from Blumberg (Digging Up Love) is a slow burn, ratcheting up the sexual tension page by page.
