You can imagine how excited I was to be asked to review Bella Andre and Melissa Foster's new book, CAPE COD KISSES, for their Brook Cottage Books tour!

These two ladies are amazing bestselling authors, and I was fangirling out at the chance to be a host for their book tour!

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?

My review:

CAPE COD KISSES was a romantic dream to read. Quinn and Shelley were so perfect for each other—it was a treat to watch their story unfold.

Shelley Walters went to Rockwell Island on a solo honeymoon (such a cool idea!), fed up with dating and ready to give herself a much deserved vacation. Little did she know she’d find Quinn Rockwell, workaholic and seemingly not the kind of man she’d want to date. However, Shelley’s carefree spirit changed something in Quinn, allowing him to let go and live. They overcame obstacles and circumstances together, and it made for a lovely love story rather than the usual get together/break up/get back together romance novel trope.

I had read Bella Andre and Melissa Foster’s individual books before, and this is a fantastic collaboration! It’s a great story—fun, sweet, yet still steamy and passionate. A perfect beach read! 5 stars.
