Alice Storm hasn't
been welcome at her family's magnificent private island off the Rhode Island
coast in five years--not since she was cast out and built her life beyond the
Storm name, influence, and untold billions. But the shocking death of her
larger-than-life father changes everything.
Alice plans to keep her head down, pay her final respects (such as they are),
and leave the minute the funeral is over. Unfortunately, her father had other
plans. The eccentric, manipulative patriarch left his family a final
challenge—an inheritance game designed to upend their world. The rules are
clear: spend one week on the island, complete their assigned tasks, and receive
the inheritance.
But a whole week on Storm Island is no easy task for Alice. Every corner of the
sprawling old house is bursting with chaos: Her older sister's secret love
affair. Her brother's unyielding arrogance. Her younger sister's constant
analysis of the vibes. Her mother's cold judgment. And all under the
stern, watchful gaze of Jack Dean, her father's intriguing and too-handsome
second-in-command. It will be a miracle if Alice manages to escape unscathed.
I love this author’s
historical romances and came in expecting to love her modern romance. It was
just ok. There were pacing issues in the story. Sometimes it moved quickly and
then other times it was super slow. I also wanted more character development to
better understand the dynamics of the family. It was an interesting concept and
you feel bad for Alice. Once you find out why Jack is there you will want to
kick him in the balls for his part. Overall, It was an ok read.
