Straw and Diamonds: A Sweet Beach Read (Getaway Bay® Resort Romance Book 4) Kindle Edition

by Elana Johnson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 737 ratings
She's barely making ends meet with her beach side drink stand because her ex stole from her and fled the island. So Sasha Redding does what she has to in order to support herself—she takes a job cleaning a house in an exclusive gated community. She just didn't know she'd been hired by a billionaire beast...

Her plan to get out of debt doesn't afford her many hours of sleep, and the handsome man who owns the house she cleans doesn't help that when he tells her not to go upstairs, questions her for showering at his place (hers has no hot water) and then...asks her out.

Jasper Rosequist works in the diamond business and keeps odd hours due to his dealings in Europe, and he doesn't want anyone in his office upstairs. It's not a lair. (It's not.) Not only that, but with his schedule, maintaining a relationship with Sasha is difficult.

He wants to keep chipping away at her, because she's got a big wall around her heart, but he can see how good it is. He doesn't mean to come off as the beastly I-get-what-I-want type...but he does want her.

Can Sasha open her heart to the possibility of a second chance at love? Or will she get burned again?

    People can be SO stubborn. But for very different reasons.

    When a business is started for a heart felt reason, it's very different than one that is inherited.

    I love how the couple tried to not let money get in their way but focused on them.

    Sasha and Jasper are so cute! She's working her tail off to pay bills and he is fantastic about letting her work and not trying to pay for everything. He visits his family and a woman leech tries to attach herself to him, which causes a big problem. I love how she helps him and he helps her! So sweet!

    Jasper is sweet and unassuming, while Sasha is proud. I wouldn't say either are particularly brazen, but I understand the desire for alliteration.

    I kept expecting the issue of the bets to come up as a potential conflict. I'm not sure if I'm glad Johnson skipped that opportunity or not.
