Heat Wave
by Karina Halle
This is a brand new stand alone by Karina Halle and I am a huge fan of hers, so I was excited to get my hands on this one.
Synopsis:
They say when life closes one door, another one opens.
This door happens to lead to paradise.
And a man I can never, ever have.
Still grieving the loss of her sister who died two years ago, the last thing Veronica "Ronnie" Locke needed was to lose her job at one of Chicago’s finest restaurants and have to move back in with her parents. So when a window of opportunity opens for her – running a kitchen at a small Hawaiian hotel – she’d be crazy not to take it.
The only problem is, the man running the hotel drives her crazy:
Logan Shephard.
It doesn’t matter that he’s got dark brown eyes, a tall, muscular build that’s sculpted from daily surfing sessions, and a deep Australian accent that makes your toes curl.
What does matter is that he’s a grump.
Kind of an asshole, too.
And gets under Ronnie’s skin like no one else.
But the more time Ronnie spends on the island of Kauai, falling in love with the lush land and its carefree lifestyle, the closer she gets to Logan. And the closer she gets to Logan, the more she realizes she may have pegged him all wrong. Maybe it’s the hot, steamy jungles or the invigorating ocean air, but soon their relationship becomes utterly intoxicating.
There’s just one major catch.
The two of them together would incite a scandal neither Ronnie, nor her family, would ever recover from.

Halle has brought us another amazing romance in an incredible location. This book is about longing, love, moving forward and forgetting the past and finding who your family is. When Veronica arrives in Hawaii she is lost and at the end of her rope. And Logan, her brother in law and the hotel owner, is broody and sexy and Veronica wants to hate him. Watching them both come to know who they are and what they want is amazing. And the scenery in the story is incredible. It makes you feel as though you are there, and now I want to go to Hawaii!!!
This is available now and I highly recommend it. This is a complete stand alone with a happy ending and amazing scenery.
