***2.5 Stars***
I’m not all too sure what happened with this one. It started out great. That first chapter caught my interest and I really enjoyed how it dove right into the heart of the story, but after that I just got...bored with it. I felt for Kate and understood Price’s reasons for faking his death, but something about their reunion and all that came after just didn’t give me the emotional gut punch I was looking for. The writing was seamless and the smexy was hot, but in the end, this one falls under the “it’s not you, it’s me” shelf for me.

Kate and Price Lewis had the perfect marriage—love, fulfilling careers, and a great apartment in the city. But when Price’s work takes him overseas and his plane goes down, their happily-ever-after goes down with it.
A year later, Kate is still trying to cope. She’s tied to her grief as tightly as she was bound to Price. When her sister-in-law coaxes her into an extended girls’ trip—three weeks on a remote island in the South Pacific—Kate agrees. At a villa as secluded as the island, they’re the only people in sight, until Kate sees a ghost walking toward them on the beach. Price is alive.
Their reunion is anything but picture perfect. Kate has been loyal to the husband she thought was dead, but she needs answers. What she gets instead is a cryptic proposal—go back home in three weeks, or disappear with Price...forever.
Emotions run high, passions burn bright, and Kate faces an impossible choice. Can Price win back his wife? Or will his secrets tear them apart?
