Description
Shop owner Skylar Love and her family have lived on the same island her ancestors discovered several centuries ago. Her life isn’t perfect, but it’s hers. After dumping her lying, cheating boyfriend, she isn’t surprised when her brother tries to bribe their best friend to take her out on a pity date. When she finally agrees, her life turns on a dime.
Multimillionaire Luke Tanner made his fortune in New York, building his pharmaceutical company from the ground up. With an upcoming birthday and a longing to return to the one place where he can be himself, he goes home to Love Island to find the family and friends he left behind. His best friend’s sister, Skylar Love, has always been off-limits, an unspoken code between friends. When he gets home to find her all grown up and single, he knows it’s time he stepped up his game before someone else snatches her up.
With plans to build a lab on the island and move back home, he finally talks her into a date. When the date goes south and someone tries to kill them both, winning her heart takes a backseat to keeping them both alive while they figure out the mystery of who is behind the threat. Her gift of seeing colored energy is the only way to keep them alive, and she will risk more than her heart to keep the people she loves safe. She’ll risk her life.

First I really enjoyed the story and believe it’s a great series. The writing was good as was the strong characters both star and sub characters. I loved the bantering and protectiveness he has. The surprise to me was who the villain was . The only thing I didn’t care for was the voice of the narrator . They sounded to young to play 30 something characters

Overall a good story. It would have been better if it had been fleshed out a bit and not so rushed. There was plenty of material. As it was the characterization suffered the most.
Robin Sitten did okay as narrator. She read quite fast all the way through and although she used some voices it was mostly lost in the swiftness of the pace.

I listened to this on audiobook.
This was a brilliant storyline, with lots of action and entertainment, very fast paced. I really did enjoy it but I kind of wish it was longer. I thought the story was just too short and everything that happened throughout was done far to quickly.
I loved the characters of Luke and Skylar, their interaction and chemistry between them was clear to see.
This isn’t just a love story, it’s so much more than that. There’s attempted murder, an actual murder, a fire, guns, friendship, family ties, police protection, business deals, unique pyschic gift whereby members of the Love family can see energies on people and objects, taking Skylar hostage, hospital visits and a few naughty sex scenes. So plenty of action and drama going on.
I like book 1 a lot, so I will definitely be continuing with the series. Looking forward to Declan (Skylar brother) and Olivia (Skylar best friend) story which is up next in book 2.

Luke was a childhood friend, who had moved to New York, and made his fortune.
He had come back to the island to celebrate his birthday, or so that was the story.
Skyler had a crush on Luke since forever! Even though he had asked her out, she felt that was her brother’s doing, trying to help with what they thought was a devastating breakup with her ex, so her answer to Luke was no!
However, when the truth comes out, well things were looking up, until someone tried to poison them.
Great mystery story.
