Operation Garden of Eden was a go, and he had seven days to make headway or return home a lonely failure. What did he have to lose?

Eve puts up boundaries. Adam breaks them down. Eve says no relationships with co-workers. Adam's playing for keeps.

Eve is a travel writer for a newspaper. Adam is a Pulitzer-Prize-winning war journalist who has never been on a cruise. When her pompous ex-fiancé shows up, Adam agrees to a fake relationship, and the sexy hot flirting begins.

Eve's happy enthusiasm for life is a great compliment to Adam's serious past and his avoidance of opening up. Eve is a little in awe of Adam and his accomplishments so she is surprised at Adam's confession that he is attracted to her. Her self-confidence was damaged due to her douche of an ex, but she has found a true fan in Adam. I love Adam's teasing humor and his unending support of Eve's career. He is sincere and extremely noble as we discover toward the end of the book.

I am delighted to recommend this absolutely adorable romantic comedy. There is the right amount of romance and lightheartedness as well as more serious undertones without going over the top.

Thank you to Ms. September for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
