Henley is the very definition of a career-driven woman, working all hours of the day as marketing manager for a cruise line, taking classes to get her MBA at night, and constantly asking for a rain check for any sort of social outing with her friends or her sister. When a new position opens up as digital marketing director, Henley finds herself as one of the finalists, up against the remote-working, lazy Graeme. To help choose who will get the promotion, Henley & Graeme's boss sends the two candidates on an adventure cruise to the Galapagos with a mission of creating a proposal that will increase bookings there. As expected in romance novels, Henley & Graeme's competition starts sparks flying.

This was a fun, quick book, and the very definition of a beach read. No, there's nothing particularly groundbreaking here, though I did enjoy Henley's friends and the proposal she came up with for the Galapagos cruise. My one complaint is a petty one — who the heck names their lovely daughters Henley and Walsh? I mean, yeah, they were apparently Eagles fans, but Walsh? Really??
