CAPE COD KISSES

Love on Rockwell Island, Book One

When Quinn Rockwell left Rockwell Island a decade ago to build a shipping empire, he never thought he’d return to live on Cape Cod Bay—that is, until his grandfather summons Quinn and his four siblings to take over the prestigious Rockwell Resort. Quinn is already working fifteen-hour days, and the last thing he has time for is his grandfather’s demands. But on his first night back, when Quinn finds a gorgeous and carefree woman skinny-dipping in his favorite cove, he’s tempted to ignore his work for a while…and focus on her instead.
As a free spirit who follows her heart and her dreams, Shelley Walters is not the kind of girl to wait around for Mr. Right, so she heads to Rockwell Island for the honeymoon of her dreams—a solo honeymoon. Ready for a week of sun and fun, she never expected to meet a man like Quinn Rockwell.
Wealthy and intensely driven, Quinn is everything Shelley swore she didn’t want. Refreshingly spontaneous and a true romantic, Shelley is everything Quinn never knew he needed. Drawn together despite their differences, during a week of sizzling-hot passion and deep conversations, they fall head over heels for each other. But when their perfect week on the island is over, will their love survive in the real world?

Cape Cod Kisses is the first book of a new series co-written by  Melissa Foster and Bella Andre. I am always a little bit dubious about reading books that are co-written as sometimes its very easy to spot two very different writing styles. Thankfully, this was not the case with this book. Its an excellent, easy read that oozes passion and sexual tension! I think my favourite part is the scene were Quinn firsts lays eyes on Shelley when she is skinny dipping. I thought it was a very sexually charged and erotic scene and so romantic! Read it for yourself to find out!
I found the characters in this book to be interesting and complex and Quinn's grandfather Chandler a difficult and stubborn man who appears to be putting undue pressure on his family. I love books that have a host of family members to get to know and fall in love with. This book has it all. I just loved that Shelley was such a free spirit and I just adored the idea of a honeymoon for one! I'm pretty sure this idea will take off and everyone will soon be going solo! This book will make a great holiday read. Passionate, romantic, steamy and erotic. What more could you want? Rockwell Island just sounds beautiful! The authors descriptions of the island instantly transported me there and now and again the gorgeous Quinn was lying beside me on a beach. Ohhhhh!!!! Another book boyfriend!
