Hawaii was the last place
Grace Christiansen ever imagined she'd vacation, much less fall in love.
But when her family surprises her with a cooking retreat in paradise,
she is pulled-or maybe yanked-away from her predictable, safe life and
thrown headfirst into the adventure of a lifetime.
Max Sharpe may make his
living on the ice as a pro hockey player, but he feels most at home in
the kitchen. Which is why he lives for the three-week culinary vacation
he takes each year in Hawaii. Upon being paired with Grace for a cooking
competition, Max finds himself drawn to her passion, confidence, and
perseverance. But just when Grace dares to dream of a future beyond her
hometown, Max pulls away.
Wrestling with personal
demons, Max fights against opening his heart to a love he knows he
should never hope for. And as his secrets unfold, Grace is torn between
the safe path in front of her and what her heart truly desires. If love
means sacrificing her ideal happily ever after, Grace's faith will face
its toughest test yet.

About the author:
This is the third installment of the Christiansens. This story is about Grace, and there is a second story going on in the background about Casper that has the potential to be the next book in this series.
Grace really doesn't want to go to Hawaii and I thought she was a little crazy, I love Hawaii.
Grace and Max's story starts out on the plane ride where they call each other 9A and 9B. Their love story is sweet and does not come without waves, but they rise above them.
All in all this is a great summer read, that does not disappoint.
Highly recommended!
