Last Resort: A Kayla Hicks Book Review

What is it about?

A cocky rich boy meets his match in a fiery businesswoman

Cassey's life is crazy enough. The last thing she needs is some cocky rich boy trying to destroy her business. Normally immune to these vultures, she finds this brazen hottie especially difficult to refuse.

Out to close the deal of a lifetime, Luke won't take no for an answer, and the intoxicating beauty standing in his way isn't going to go down easily. He'll need more than business savvy to close this deal.

My Review:

Cassey is a hardworking business owner with a tragic origin story that leaves her relationship foundations shaky, causing every relationship she's ever had to keep her from letting them get too close.

Cassey's life is hectic as she struggles to keep business coming to her restaurant on the once lively boardwalk especially since the large hotel at the end of the boardwalk has done everything in its power to take away shuttles that bring tourists to the boardwalk.

Luke on the other hand comes from money and an overbearing family. His family owns the largest hotel on the boardwalk which is slowly overtaking the businesses. So when his father asks him to do anything possible to talk Cassey into selling her restaurant, he isn't expecting to fall for Cassey instantly.

The book had an interesting premise with the tight-knit businesses on the boardwalk and a small business owner taking on the big man. I liked Cassey as the main character and was able to understand where she was coming from in her decisions as she moved forward with her business and her relationship with Luke.

I did however wish there had been more information on Cassey's missing sister which I'm aware is probably in other books in the series.

I give this book a 3-star review.
