Love on Rockwell Island is a new contemporary romance series from New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Bella Andre and Melissa Foster!
Fall in love on Rockwell Island...Sink your toes into the sandy beaches at the heart of Cape Cod Bay, where family comes first, good friends are around every corner, and true love is waiting beneath the stars.
Love on Rockwell Island, Book One
When Quinn Rockwell left Rockwell Island a decade ago to build a shipping empire, he never thought he’d return to live on Cape Cod Bay—that is, until his grandfather summons Quinn and his four siblings to take over the prestigious Rockwell Resort. Quinn is already working fifteen-hour days, and the last thing he has time for is his grandfather’s demands. But on his first night back, when Quinn finds a gorgeous and carefree woman skinny-dipping in his favorite cove, he’s tempted to ignore his work for a while…and focus on her instead.
As a free spirit who follows her heart and her dreams, Shelley Walters is not the kind of girl to wait around for Mr. Right, so she heads to Rockwell Island for the honeymoon of her dreams—a solo honeymoon. Ready for a week of sun and fun, she never expected to meet a man like Quinn Rockwell.
Wealthy and intensely driven, Quinn is everything Shelley swore she didn’t want. Refreshingly spontaneous and a true romantic, Shelley is everything Quinn never knew he needed. Drawn together despite their differences, during a week of sizzling-hot passion and deep conversations, they fall head over heels for each other. But when their perfect week on the island is over, will their love survive in the real world?
Thank you to JB for letting me take part in this tour. I am a big fan of Melissa’s books and when I heard there was a new series set on Cape cod I couldn’t wait to read it.
This book begins with Shelly on a solo honeymoon. I think that Shelly is extremely brave to even holiday on her own let alone a solo honeymoon. Throughout the book you see more and more of Shelly’s strength. Shelly has a busy life and a week away is exactly what she needs. While Shelly is on her solo honeymoon she never expected to find a man but then along comes Quinn…
Quinn is a workaholic. He works 20 hour days and basically never switches off. He’s only on the island because his grandfather has summoned him and his brothers and he can’t wait to get off and back to his business. That is until he meets Shelly. She changes everything for him. He sees the world around him in a different way. But can he change is workaholic ways and be the man that she deserves?
The ending of this book was so sweet it had me beaming.
I really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. I will also be adding all of Bella’s books to my tbr pile.
