Making his family’s island resort a success is all that matters to this
workaholic. Everything changes when he meets the beautiful new massage
therapist…
Larissa Benner may have survived cancer, but its
aftermath left plenty of problems besides the ever-looming fear of
relapse. Her family nearly went bankrupt paying for her life-saving
treatments. She desperately needs the full-time therapist position on
the island and the benefits that come with it. The last thing she wants
is problems with her boss, or a complicated office romance.
It’s
hard for her to resist Quinn’s charms—or his passionate side. However,
Quinn is married to his job. The choice between love and work is tough
for him to juggle and has Larissa scared. If the cancer recurs, could
she count on him to be there for her? Or would he leave her to face it
alone, ending her relationship in tragedy?
Review
In the first McCallister’s
Paradise book, massage therapist Larissa Benner can’t believe what her boss’s
son just asked her. He’s naked on her massage table and is demanding she give
him a happy ending—a hand job—or she’ll lose her job. She’s desperate to keep
her job at the island resort for the health benefits, but refuses to have sex
with him, no matter how handsome he is.

Quinn McCallister will do
anything for his family and the family business. Even though he feels like
scum, he propositions the talented therapist his dad wants to hire on full-time
in order to test her morals and values. But he didn’t expect her to be so
fiery. A rocky friendship builds between them but love soon takes hold.

I really enjoyed this story.
Larissa and Quinn have great chemistry, but they’re both troubled, confused
people.

Larissa is a breast cancer
survivor, but the chance of the cancer returning is high. She’s a sweet,
understanding woman who’s been through a terrible time, but I found it hard to
connect with her. She’s a strong person when it comes to fighting the cancer,
but she’s prudish and judgmental.

Quinn is an unflappable macho
hero. He’s so determined to be a manly man, do a good job at work, and make his
parents proud that he’s forgotten what life is all about. His stubbornness and
foolishness nearly cost him a wonderful relationship, and I loved seeing the
high-powered businessman fall at the feet of a woman.

The side characters are
great. Quinn’s parents are kind but pushy people. Quinn’s interactions with his
sister and brothers are typical of sibling love and rivalry, and were very
believable. I especially like his sister, Sydney. She’s one tough cookie.

There were a few typos but
nothing took me out of the story. I would definitely like to read more books in
the series.
