Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for an advanced copy of this book!

This book felt like a love letter to the ocean 💕 the dual timelines were woven together so well, and I loved getting to unravel the mystery of what happened in Positano along with Haven. There were a lot of tense moments throughout the book, with a general theme of “men underestimating women” and I just love to see a man proven wrong 🤷🏼‍♀️

Mari is such a fierce protector, and I loved watching her journey throughout the book, and am so happy with how things ended for her. There were some really great twists within her story that really turned the tides for her, and I just loved it! 

I also loved watching Haven’s no BS, scientific mind settle into Italian life and start to open herself to new possibilities. While her motivations for finding the treasure her father spotted was a bit vague aside from “doing it for her father”, I felt that it was resolved nicely at the end and we got to see Haven kind of make some realizations for herself surrounding the entire situation! 

Overall, I really enjoyed this breath of fresh ocean air! It felt like sweet sunshine on your face, salt in the air, and gelato on your tongue, while also keeping you on your toes and wondering what was coming next.
