“Welcome to Paradise Island Resort, where we specialize in sun, sand, and self-improvement.” Jess Parker has entered middle age single, bitter, and emotionally wounded. Even her friends have noticed her downward spiral into anger and resentment. Then she wins a self-help vacation to the beautiful Paradise Island Resort. Despite spending the past few years with her emotions on ice, the warm tropical climate and hotter resort manager, Lucia Cruz, succeeds in thawing her heart. Jess falls for Lucia, even knowing that her island stay is limited. Four weeks is hardly long enough when love is on the line. Jess will need to make some tough choices about the rest of her life when her time is up. She’s vowed to be a better person and has started making positive changes, but it’s on Jess to put her heart and soul into it. She also holds onto the hope that some connections, no matter how unexpected, simply can’t be broken.

SOME WORDS END THE SILENCE, OTHERS BEGIN IT _____________________________________________ As a reader: My Ratings 5 Stars-The book made it into my heart and if I had to make a top 50 list of all time this book would shimmy its way in. 4 Stars- I loved the book, it was amazing. However, it's not on the elite 'favorite of all time' list. 3 Stars- This is the broadest category. I liked the book all the way to it was average. This should be a 2.5 to 3.5 section. 2 Stars- I read the book all the way through but did not like it. 1 Star- I only give a 1 if I can't finish the book because I dislike it so much. There are a few reasons for DNF. Poor plot line, poor grammar and/or spelling, or maybe just a subject I don't care for. I DO ROUND UP!
