A number of couples think they won an invitation to a brand new resort from a contest on Facebook. It is a weeks vacation in paradise, and they couldn't be happier with all the luxurious surroundings. We soon learn that even in paradise, things are not always as good as they could be. Some of the marriages may be in trouble and not every person is the one they present to others. What will happen during this week? Will every one survive as their secrets are brought out into the open? And more to
Simple Summer ReadThis was a decent enough read. It held a lot of spelling and grammatical errors, however. The story wasn't compelling nor explosive but it kept my attention. The ending twists were interesting and the epilogue came wrapped in bow. An easy, simple summer read.
UghPredictable and disappointing. All these women who's lives revolve around men... personally I'm sick of that and I think our society has evolved past this theme.
I wish I could’ve gotten past the first couple chapters of this book, but I couldn’t. While I wanted to enjoy the story, I couldn’t get past the poor sentence structure. The punctuation was awful! I’m not sure who proofread this book, but they missed pretty much everything. It bothered me so much—all the run-on sentences and strange use of commas—that I couldn’t finish it.
This is a quick read (I blew through it in two sittings), and as the title suggests, great escapist fiction. Three couples, a single man, and a single woman have the seemingly good fortunate of winning all-expense paid trips to a luxury resort on a tropical island. This is luxury with a capital “L.”The setting is exquisite—sun-soaked accommodations, turquoise pools, white sand beaches, gourmet meals, boating excursions, and opulent spa treatments. Just reading those passages put me in a tranquil...
Great beach read, keeps you guessing til the endDespite reading some negative reviews, which fortunately didn’t contain spoilers, I went ahead and started this book. Despite many typos and chopping writing, I loved it, and read it in 2 days. Three couples, and two singles meet at an exclusive resort, ostensibly because they’ve won a contest to try out the amenities and services before the resort’s grand opening. As we learn a bit about each guest, we find that things are rarely as they appear. P...
I struggled with several aspects of this novel. For starters all the women (and there were four of them) all sounded the same. They all 'spoke' with the same tone and I ended up confused as to who was married to whom etc. The actual writing - as in technical stuff - was okay but there were numerous instances where dialogue appeared to belong to one person, but in fact was spoken by someone else. The plot was not exactly original or gripping, neither was the story 'a perfect escape' as it contain...
Too ridiculous for most readers over 15Oh my, what a silly story..The plot is contrived, the characters so fake. Everyone is a caricature of a human. And Ben’s early life and how he was treated by everyone, except his adopted parents, is too much to be believed. There is so much preaching, fake sounding conversations and women who are all angels in their relationships with so many bad boys. The character of Ben’s father actually comes off as comical instead of threatening. There is just too much...
Ok. Deep breath…This was one of the worst-written books I have ever read. It was like a 13 year old watched too many telenovelas. This made Twilight look like Pride and Prejudice.The characters were caricatures of bad people. The cheating husband, the nasty businessman and the creepy slimeball. The women were vapid. Don’t even get me started on the big reveal at the end. It was laughable. I honestly don’t know what possessed me to finish this. I guess it was the 1 star for entertainment value. P...
The synopsis on the back of the book was cryptic, “Three women win a competition for a free vacation. They think it’s by chance. It’s not. Welcome to The Resort where nothing is as it seems. Who will survive the week and who won’t leave at all.” Going into this book, I had no idea what to expect. I knew it was a suspense thriller, but had never read anything from this author before. This was the book club pick for one of my virtual clubs that I joined when I moved to Scotland, so I was excited t...
