This book was so sweet! I think it was a really great follow up to The Ohana Cottage!

I actually loved how much Matt was infatuated with Paige. He knew he didn’t REALLY have a shot with her, but he still held out hope. The slow burn was good in this book. Paige knew she was going home eventually, so she didn’t want to start anything. But of course she was weakened by Matt’s charm!

They really went from 0 to 100! I loved seeing Paige find her place tutoring the kids over the summer, then eventually finding a way to really help Elliot. Matt’s news at the end really surprised me! But of course, he took in stride. And together he and Paige made the best of their situation!

I loved Matt’s sisters! I hope we get to see more of them in future books maybe?! I would love nothing more than to see Matt be in their business as much as they are in his!

I was honestly so nervous when John’s sister came back and took Paige’s place in their house. I was scared that she wasn’t going to get any time with Mia, which was the whole reason she came to Hawaii. And Paige is a much better person that me, because she was more than happy to find a new place to stay for her summer break!

And Megan wrote another WONDERFUL epilogue. I loved every single second! And while I was pretty much able to predict most of the things that happened, it almost made it better?! Cause if anything else had happened I would have been so disappointed.

Thank you so much to Megan Reinking for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
