Shelter by the Sea: An Opposites Attract Instant Attraction Vacation Romance

Shelter by the Sea by Elena Aitken is the first book in her new Destination Paradise series. We begin this story with Cass Cutler arriving in Panama after leaving her life in Seattle. She is on a mission to find out what happened to her father, who has been missing for three years. Archer Wolfe was a chef for Samantha Burke’s bar in Cedar Springs, in Canada, where Ms. Aitken’s The Springs series takes place. Archer was given the trip to Panama as a gift from Samantha. Once there, Archer decided he wanted to travel more before, or if, he returned to Canada. These two, Cass and Archer are both loss souls. Both need to find a purpose for themselves. To find out who they really were. Cass learns that her father left his boat behind when he disappeared. Her dad had left Cass when she was a young teenager and believed that this was just more of his disappearing act. Cass and Archer work together to run a charter business on her sailboat. This was the perfect solution for both of them. The attraction between the two grows as they work together. Cass needs to learn that she can trust Archer, that he will not leave her, like her father did. This was a fun and entertaining story with likeable characters that you want to support and cheer on hoping for that happy ending. The characters were well written and complex. The story line was riveting and kept my attention to the very end. I really enjoyed reading this book and had trouble putting this book down. I highly recommend this book to other readers.

That's one problem about manwhores, when his indiscretions converged to strain a supposedly promising relationship with a girl full of baggage herself. This is Archer's story who is on vacation funded by his friends and decided to stay a bit and work his way before moving on. Unintentionally hitting on broken married and single women. And then meeting Cass who have issues with men who abandons and leaves her carelessly.

The perfect way to start your summer but on the beaches of Panama, plenty of romance and drama that will keep you turning the pages. Great chemistry between the characters of Cass and Archer. Archer not afraid to go after what he wants and will not let Cass get away. Cass, is afraid to open her heart again to heartbreak, but she soon breaks that barrier. I highly recommend that you add this book to your summer reads.
