Customer Reviews
Happily Ever After - from US to Thailand
Davis is a sensitive person and a loner. He doesn't fit in Starlight Ridge, an exceptionally friendly beach town. He lost a fiancé that no one even knew he'd had in a motorcycle accident.
He's a skilled repairman and runs a hardware store in town. His parents and much younger brothers have been volunteering in Thailand and he decides to go for a visit. He has some difficulty upon arrival, but then he lets his skills guide him.
He meets Chloe, who directs the program that the rest of the family volunteers for. They clash, but decide to accommodate each other.
The author has a great writing style and you're drawn into the story immediately. She takes us to Thailand and we learn things about the country that Davis, and probably most of us, never knew before.
The ending is more than satisfying.
I received an advance reader copy of this book. This is my honest review.
Not Your Typical Vacation Romance
This wasn’t your typical vacation romance hanging out on a beach or visiting all the tourist places. Davis was put to work as soon as he recovered from motion sickness with his parents, brothers, Chloe, Travis and the rest of the volunteers helping rebuilt a village in Thailand. I would enjoy helping with something like that, but I wouldn’t enjoy sleeping in a tent off the grid without access to regular showers very long. I wonder if Davis is on the spectrum as he’s highly intelligent, thoroughly researching hut building before he visited and he has sensory issues. Chloe was a bit prideful to tell him to stop in the middle of his work and not let him fix things that weren’t done right. She is the founder and director, but she should be open to input especially if it makes their jobs easier and the work more effective. I loved that the book took me on an adventure off the beaten paths of Thailand with the elephant sanctuary and the children dosing them with water and baby power in celebration.
