Off Key by May Archer
5.0

What a joy it is to return to Whispering Key and all of its quirky inhabitants.
In this well written instalment in the series, former childhood friends Rafe and Jay tell their story. Jay would summer on the island and he and Rafe were the closet of friends until circumstances led them into enemies territory. Circumstances that made sense at the time but in hindsight, and with maturity, proved otherwise.
So begins a delightful romance involving an hilarious road trip in a perfume filled van, a sort of kidnapping and all the quirky side characters you could ever need.
Jay and Rafe are very likeable characters and the banter between them had me laughing out loud. Even when they are trying to hate each other the chemistry between them sizzles and things get steamy when it ignites. There’s a dash of angst as they work through some miscommunication issues but nothing that stops their longed for HEA or stops this from being a very enjoyable feel good read.
