Katie is a video photographer and she has been given a job that is supposed to not only save her job but secure it. Now the job does come with some risks, she is shooting the promo for the Coast Guard and will need to fly in a helicopter over water, and here is the biggie, Katie cannot swim. But she cannot tell her boss that she cannot swim or else she will lose her job. Once Katie arrives at Key West, she meets the man she will be interviewing, Hutch, and he is perfect, but he is not too happy to see her, he was expecting someone else, his brother. Now Katie not only has to navigate swimming lessons but the more she gets to know Hutch the more she wants to be entangled with him but there is one problem Katie has sworn off love (her last relationship made her hate herself) and Hutch is a known Love Hater.
I always seem to find one of Center's books right at the right time for me and that means her books just hit right. This was true with with book, I felt invested in the two main characters right from the beginning and loved the banter and awkward situations that they find themselves in over and over again,. The first time with Katie needing Hutch to take splinters out of her ass, i laughed so hard and felt her embarrassment as well. i find that Katherine's writing is not only charming but witty at the same time and just an all around fun read, especially when i need a pick me up.
I find that in the books that past few books that Center has been writing, she has taken on some medical or metal health aspect to her characters and I am for that. You can tell that Katie struggles with what she looks like and her image and while this is a main aspect of the story, I did feel like there were times where Center underplayed what Katie was struggling with. I think that if Hutch wasn't portrayed as perfect all the time, maybe this would have give Katie more to open up to him. I felt like it was a very brief moment in the book and it should be more. I would also like to have Center write a book that is Dual POV or even just a few chapters from the man's POV, I think this would be a new interesting take for her books.
George Bailey is a stand out character in this book. All books need a George Bailey in them.
I loved all the information about the Coast Guard. I feel like you can tell that center did her research about certain aspects, that I found that I gained some knowledge as well from reading this book. That would be one tough job.
I like that Center does not feel the need to add spice in her books to help sell the story. Do I mind if there is Spice in books, nope, but I don't want it to feel forced in any way, which it does in some books.
This was another fun read by Center and it makes me smile just even thinking about this book and some of the events that happen. I cant wait to see what Center comes out with next.
