Summary from GoodReads
From the NYT bestselling author of A Nordic King comes an all-new standalone romantic comedy.
A grumpy groomsman. A surprise shipwreck. Stuck on a deserted island together? Worst maid-of-honor gig ever.
Daisy Lewis is experiencing a relentless string of bad luck.
Fortunately, Daisy has her sister’s destination wedding coming up. A week of sand, sea, and sun in the South Pacific as the maid-of-honor is exactly what Daisy needs to forget her upturned life and focus on the positive.
That is until Daisy meets the best man.
If you take tall, dark, and handsome, and add a dash of rugged, a pinch of brooding, and a whole lot of sexy, you’ve got Tai Wakefield. Unfortunately he’s also a major grump, total alpha, and seemingly out to antagonize Daisy at every turn.
As if being part of the wedding party with Tai wasn’t bad enough, Daisy’s bad luck soon resurfaces when she ends up on a cramped sailboat with Tai and the newlyweds.
Which then shipwrecks on a deserted island near Fiji.
Okay, so they aren’t completely alone. There’s an oddball research scientist who has been isolated for far too long, they have rundown bungalows as shelter, stores of water and canned food, plus a feral goat named Wilson.
It’s Lost…without the smoke monster.
But with rescue weeks away, Tai and Daisy realize the only way they’re going to get through this mess is to stop fighting and start working together.
And with their guards down, they get closer.
A lot closer.
Soon, Daisy realizes that the only thing worse than being stuck on a deserted island, is being stuck on a deserted island with a man she hates to love and loves to hate.
A man that can break her heart.

REVIEW
I received an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Amidst the quarantine, I found a wonderful story that had me gripped with its beauty and amazing descriptions. I love Karina Halle and her books. Her characters are real, with their own scars, issues, and secrets, yet they are all lovable and they deserve their HEAs.
Daisy and Tai are no different. Among a deserted island, where they have shipwrecked along with Daisy's sister, her husband and with a wild goat, Daisy and Tai will face their own insecurities...among hot *wink, wink* beaches and an island that looks like a ...dong :P
I loved this book. It was a light read with the swoons I miss in a good contemporary.
About the author:
Halle is represented by Root Literary and is both self-published and published by Atria Books/Simon & Schuster and Hachette. Her books have been published in France, Italy, Germany, Turkey, Hungary, Brazil, Bulgaria, Israel and Croatia.
