The Unhoneymooners
by
Christina Lauren
Olive Torres and Ethan Thomas don’t like each other. When
her sister and his brother get married, they must once again tolerate the other’s
company since she’s the maid-of-honor and he’s the best man. When the buffet at
the reception makes everyone ill, including the bride and groom, Ethan and
Olive are offered the vacation of a lifetime—an all-expense paid trip to Maui.
The catch? They must pretend to be married.
This standard trope is given new life at the hands of Ms.
Lauren (who is actually two authors: Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings). Told
entirely in first-person, present-tense from Olive’s point-of-view (don’t worry—if
you find it distracting, give it a few pages; you’ll soon be so immersed in the
story that you won’t notice), this is a fun, sexy, perfect summer read. Olive
is wry, witty, and a girl you could easily be besties with. Ethan is sufficiently
aloof … until he isn’t. You’ll fall for him right along with Olive. The chemistry
between the two is palpable and combustible, the motivations for their actions
believable, and you’ll enjoy a vicarious vacation while you’re at it.
