How to Honeymoon Alone

Product Information

And just like that, I’m left staring at the tall stranger in front of me. He pulls out a chair and takes a seat as if he hasn’t just stolen it. There’s a hint of stubble along his sharp jaw. He looks closed-off and a bit predatory, like he spends a lot of time getting his way. Just as he is right now. I eat on the resort’s patio. It overlooks the crystal-clear, blue waters, with gently swaying palm trees casting a cooling shade over the space. I’ve been sitting here a while now, eating and reading the first of the three books I brought with me on this trip. Out of the corner of my eye, I’m also watching the other guests.

Always interested in literature and romance from an early age, Olivia Hayle would seek to make her own imprint on the genre in the years to follow. Growing up with a keen passion for the form, she’d continually be looking for new ideas to help inform both her and her work. Developing her voice and her style, she would become highly adept at the format, establishing her own unique brand and outlook. You know why they’re so bad?” I say, feeling the nerves melt away a little at this sudden common ground. “It’s the constant announcing of it to everyone around them. Like them being newlyweds matters to the world at large.” Blurb {from Goodreads.com}: A paradise island. Two strangers. The attraction they never saw coming… Oh, no. It was for the best. Good riddance and all that. But I couldn’t not go on a pre-planned, pre-paid holiday, you know? Especially not when it’s my dream destination.”

As the morning moseys into midday, I change into a bikini and a cover-up, and grab my beach bag and guidebook. As I head through the lobby, I take a deep breath of the citrusy scent that always lingers in the hotel’s common areas. Five-star service right there. My first booked excursion is tomorrow, and I want to make sure I know exactly what to expect. In overall this was cute but boring, you could read the entire book thinking Eden and Philip are just friends bc they seem so platonic. And the miscommunication in the end is awful, I hate this trope.

He looks at me for a long few seconds. “You know, you’re one of the strangest women I’ve ever met.” I nod, my teeth digging into my lower lip. It’s not a bad idea. But it’s definitely outside of my comfort zone. Everything about him is… and everything about this trip is... Challenge after challenge. Socializing with strangers, snorkeling in the deep-blue ocean, and exploring a place so different from the one where I grew up. With the wet, cold fabric gone, I already feel five times warmer, even if goosebumps still spread across my bare skin. “Much better. Can I—” The catamaran takes us into the calm, light-blue waters of Carlisle Bay. The captain halts the boat at the first stop and throws a light tether over the buoy anchored to the sea floor. I grab a table by the boardwalk and spend my morning doing exactly four things: eating, watching the turquoise waves, reading my book, and keeping an eye out for Phillip Meyer.Thanks to the incredible laws of jet lag, I’m down at the breakfast buffet early. Sampling all the wonders of the never-ending feast may be the hardest thing to accomplish during my two weeks on the island. Every fruit imaginable, omelets, pancakes, waffles, eggs, toast, croissants, and a granola spread are so impressive, I have to take a picture of it for posterity’s sake.
