*Spoiler free*
When a massive hurricane severs all power and cell service to Little Bridge Island—as well as its connection to the mainland—twenty-five-year-old Bree Beckham isn’t worried . . . at first. She’s already escaped one storm—her emotionally abusive ex—so a hurricane seems like it will be a piece of cake. But animal-loving Bree does become alarmed when she realizes how many islanders have been cut off from their beloved pets. Now it’s up to her to save as many of Little Bridge’s cats and dogs as she can . . . but to do so, she’s going to need help—help she has no choice but to accept from her boss’s sexy nephew, Drew Hartwell, the Mermaid Café’s most notorious heartbreaker. But when Bree starts falling for Drew, just as Little Bridge’s power is restored and her penitent ex shows up, she has to ask herself if her island fling was only a result of the stormy weather, or if it could last during clear skies too.
In my quest to read more romance books, this seemed like one I would like! The main character is an animal lover and that pretty much sealed the deal for me. But, she’s also helping animals that have been left behind by their owners in the wake of a massive hurricane. And she has to work with a guy who is insufferable, and very good looking. It definitely sounded like something I would want to read! Trigger warnings: brief animal abuse
