Katherine Center

📚 My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
📚 My Review: I've come to expect nothing less than perfectly sweet love stories and beautiful life lessons from everything Katherine Center writes and this was no exception! While there was a heavy focus on body image and self-love (don't miss the author's note at the end for additional insight) Hutch, Rue, and George Bailey made me smile and I've decided we all need friends like "the gals" with unabashed conga lines!
The perfect mix of charm, chaos, and courage. A reminder that love, like life, is worth showing up for, even when we feel like we’re in over our heads. Add this one to your summer list!
Thank you to St. Martin's Press via Netgalley for the eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
📚 Goodreads Synopsis: It’s a thin line between love and love-hating.
Katie Vaughn has been burned by love in the past—now she may be lighting her career on fire. She has two choices: wait to get laid off from her job as a video producer or, at her coworker Cole’s request, take a career-making gig profiling Tom “Hutch” Hutcheson, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer in Key West.
The catch? Katie’s not exactly qualified. She can’t swim—but fakes it that she can.
Plus: Cole is Hutch’s brother. And they don’t get along. Next stop paradise!
But paradise is messier than it seems. As Katie gets entangled with Hutch (the most scientifically good looking man she has ever seen . . . but also a bit of a love hater), along with his colorful Aunt Rue and his rescue Great Dane, she gets trapped in a lie. Or two.
Swim lessons, helicopter flights, conga lines, drinking contests, hurricanes, and stolen kisses ensue—along with chances to tell the truth, to face old fears, and to be truly brave at last
