Sadie is a brilliant computer hacker that sometimes freelances for the FBI. And when she gets herself into some hot water, she heads to Oakley Island where her sister's reside to get off the radar. 

Housing options are limited in the island, but her sisters are friends with Benedict King, a billionaire she's been frenemies with since they met. And Benedict just so happens to have a very fancy yacht.

And when Sadie finds herself out at sea on that yacht, with two government agents babysitting her, and Benedict pretending to be her boyfriend... Well, this whole emotional situation maybe more dangerous than the one her hacking got her into.

What a perfect punctuation that this book is to the Oakley Island series.

I loved Sadie and Ben and their frenemies banter. And frenemies is the perfect descriptor. They argue and tease and poke but it's never malicious. Both Proctor and St. Clair do this kinder version of enemies to lovers so we'll, so it's no surprise that they nail it here together.

This book so well features the concept that falling in love isn't always easy. We have to overcome our own hang ups and road blocks we put in our own path. This nugget of real life add such good levity to this bright and frothy story. A great balance.

Plus the kisses in this book... This book will be in my bibliography for my theoretical research paper on why romances are perfect being closed door and kisses only. It's all you need😘. 
_____

This is a closed door, kisses only rom com. It is the third in a series and can be read as a stand alone, but I think you are missing out on lots of fun by not reading all 3!
