Jackie Laurens just got divorced and she's turning forty. A friend talks her into a trip to Hawaii, then backs out at the last minute. So, Jackie is alone in Paradise, wondering what she'll do with herself, when she meets Kai, her gorgeous, much younger surf instructor. The chemistry between them is instant, and Jackie has a much-needed vacation fling with a younger guy.
Back home in Seattle, things aren't going so well. Jackie is struggling with being a single parent, and is lonely. She decides to visit Kai for another long weekend. Even though her friends don't approve of the relationship, Kai is what is making her happy.
I rarely read chick lit and don't know what to think of this book. It definitely kept me interested. I thought Jackie sometimes whined a little too much about being too old or about not taking chances, but her character developed throughout the story into a woman who knew what she wanted with her life. Even though I loved Kai, I wish we could have seen more character development. I think the fact that the story is told in the first person point-of-view kept us from knowing what Kai thought about Jackie. Or, maybe the author wanted to keep him dark and mysterious. My rating: 4 Stars.
