I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book in exchange for my review. I'd like to thank the author, publisher and Net Galley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This was a fun book to read. Romance sorts aren't my usual sort of book, but this was a fun story and a quick read. The story starts at Lucy's sister's wedding and we get a view into her family, and, well, her life. She's a bit down and disappointed with life so when her sister's back-up honeymoon becomes available, she decided to break the cycle of doing what everyone else wants her to do and take a spur of the moment trip. Her first trip out of the country.

I cheered for Lucy as she stepped out of the usual and did something spontaneous. While I wouldn't have actually thrown my phone out the window to get away from endless text messages, I applauded her for continuing with her trip and taking the chance to have some fun. The addition of Cary, an old high school classmate and Oliver, the mystery man at the hotel added some drama, though not as much as I expected. The added news story of the "honeymooners' - a pair of criminals ripping off hotels while pretending to be on their honeymoon - was an additional element of drama. But it all worked for the story.

This fun book was a quick read with great character development.
