Book Synopsis
It's a thin line between love and love-hating in the newest laugh out loud, all the feels rom-com by New York Times bestselling author Katherine Center.
Katie Vaughn has been burned by love in the past--now she may be lighting her career on fire. She has two choices: wait to get laid off from her job as a video producer or, at her coworker Cole's request, take a career-making gig profiling Tom "Hutch" Hutcheson, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer in Key West. The catch? Katie's not exactly qualified. She can't swim--but fakes it that she can. Plus: Cole is Hutch's brother. And they don't get along. Next stop paradise! But paradise is messier than it seems. As Katie gets entangled with Hutch (the most scientifically good looking man she has ever seen . . . but also a bit of a love hater), along with his colorful Aunt Rue and his rescue Great Dane, she gets trapped in a lie. Or two. Swim lessons, helicopter flights, conga lines, drinking contests, hurricanes, and stolen kisses ensue--along with chances to tell the truth, to face old fears, and to be truly brave at last.About the Author

This book gave me all the feels! Everyone needs a best friend like Beanie to lift you up and make sure you are not letting the world dictate who you are or how you feel about yourself. The romance was on point! I loved all the interaction with Hutch and Katie and couldn't wait for another scene. And can we talk about the splinter scene! I was laughing out loud at that one. I loved that the romance was there but I didn't have to read though steamy scenes that are not necessary. I will definitely be reading more from this author for sure. I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

This is a contemporary upbeat love story with beautiful blue water and sunshine. It seemed like the perfect paradise except that this place also had unexpected storms and hurricanes. This story had some deep issues about body image and how difficult it can be to love ourselves. It would be a fun movie to watch. It's entertaining and grabs our hearts with hopes and dreams.
Entertaining Read!

Katie Vaughn, a video producer, has been burned by love and is about to get laid off by her company. When her coworker, Cole, asks her to go to Key West to film his brother Hutch, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer, for a recruitment video, she agrees. The only catch is she is supposed to know how to swim and she doesn’t. She has lied to get the job. Cole didn’t tell her Hutch is attractive and isn’t easy to work with. Will she be able to get the job done? Katherine Center’s books are always fun, heartfelt, and entertaining to read! She draws you in with her writing, story and relatable characters. I especially love the humor! Once you start reading, it’s hard to put down! A perfect book for your pool or beach bag!
