"A fiery, passionate – will they / won’t they – romance novel, this story immediately captures the spark and heat of two people who meet by circumstance and find themselves constantly drawn to one another. While neither Jake nor Shannon are in a place for new romance, the reluctant friendship they inspire in one another comes with intense emotional baggage and passionate tension that underscores their growing feelings for one another. His confidence and her wit and charm add to that romantic tension as their story grows, and the way they complement one another not only helps them grow as individuals but helps them in dealing with their personal struggles as well.

Readers who enjoy romance novels, especially those who enjoy literary fiction romance that incorporates deep romantic tropes and will-they / won’t-they tones will absolutely love this novel. The slow, steady pacing of the novel gives readers plenty of time to get invested in this world, and the relatability and the engaging characters, both the protagonists and the supporting cast of characters, will help readers feel fully immersed in this narrative.

The powerful imagery in the author’s writing gives an almost cinematic feel to each scene between the two protagonists and allows for a powerful reading experience that will leave readers on the edge of their seats. So buckle your seatbelts, put your seatbacks and tray tables in the upright position, and enjoy your journey to Paradise Reimagined."
