If it ain’t broke, why’s she so intent on fixing it?

Tessa Booker hates romance.

For 25 years, Tessa Booker has insisted that romance is something Hollywood cooked up to sell books and movies. Yes, she knows the word existed before movies. She doesn’t care. That’s her story, and she’s sticking to it.

So, when Ross gets a gentle nudge from Mallory Barrows to look into what Tessa’s doing every day while he’s at work, he discovers a romance in the works – one that sounds a little too “ripped from the pages of his life”!

Who is this woman, and what has she done with his wife? 

Armed with advice from 101 Ways to Romance Your Wife and a copy of the manuscript he printed while she was napping, he’s determined to figure out what’s up with his wife…and if maybe a little romance wouldn’t be a good thing, after all.

In a twist of the “on the rocks trope”, this book introduces the next island in the Independence Islands series featuring five islands, six authors, and a boatload of happily ever afters.

The Independence Islands Series – Beach listens aren’t just for summer, anymore!

 My Thoughts:

I had already read this book and was excited to see how it translated into an audiobook.  I have to say that the narrator did a good job with it.  I still enjoyed the story.  It is unique and the narrator does a good job of giving the characters voices and helping you feel what they are feeling through the emotions portrayed.

I still liked the characters and the idea of a second honeymoon.  Marriages do have their ups and downs and can get 'stale' but it takes time and effort.  I like that though it is a fictional story, things from it can be helpful and thought provoking to help with a marriage that needs some attention.

4/5.
