Gehört zu VerlagsreihenWorld of Love (Bermuda)
When two very different men are stranded on a deserted island, will opposites attract, or will they end up killing each other-if the elements don't get them first? Marc Reed is an expert scuba diver and leads underwater tours of the infamous shipwrecks scattered around Bermuda. When a robbery forces him and his boss's son-a man he despises on principle-to take shelter on an uncharted island, he might have to reassess his opinion of the spoiled snob. Ian Blythe-Darcy II lives a life most would envy. He's a trust-fund kid being groomed to take over his father's empire of hotels and resorts. But it's not a life that matches what's in his heart. He's in the closet and engaged to a socialite he doesn't love, but he's about to get a crash course in being true to himself-and maybe learn money can't buy happiness after all. World of Love: Stories of romance that span every corner of the globe. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Ian may have grown up with everything he physically needed, may have a great career mapped out for him, and may be in line to inherit a vast fortune – but he is not happy. He doesn’t want to work for a vast hotel and resort chain, he doesn’t want to marry the woman he “somehow” got engaged to, and he doesn’t really want to stay in the closet – but what can he do? Ian has to learn that being complacent may lead to a life free of external conflicts, but it does not give him happiness, peace of mind, or love. And Marc is just the man to teach him a few truths… painful though the process may be.
Marc has to work hard to be able to afford living “in paradise”, as he calls Bermuda, but he has a giant chip on his shoulder when he first meets Ian. Ian is also his boss’s son – but that doesn’t mean Marc respects him in the least. Rather than getting to know the man he is supposed to take scuba diving, he makes a ton of assumptions based on his prejudice about trust-fund kids. Marc has a lot to learn as well… and, mostly, he is as slow on the uptake as Ian.
With two men who come from opposite sides of the wealth spectrum forced to work together if they want to survive, sparks were bound to fly. And they do! The suspense around the robbery, their marooned state, the boredom, and the many, many personal differences they have to navigate before they can admit that they are actually really attracted to each other – the author combines all of these factors into a colorful adventure. One I enjoyed as much as finding out about both men’s decisions coming out of their situation.
If you like stories set in exotic locations, if two men who come from opposite ends of the spectrum and don’t get along very well at all are your thing, and if you’re looking for a read that is as entertaining as it is exacerbating at times, then you will probably like this novella.
