Synopsis

The Island

Welcome to the island.
This is no fantasy.
You’ll face fears.
You’ll face travesty.
You’ll face yourself.

One deserted island.
Two heinous crimes.
Two convicted hearts.

When decent people do bad things,
there’s only one place for forgiveness:
Redemption Island.

The island knows what you’ve done.

Goodreads

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

I am at a loss for words…this book. It is soooo very different from anything I have read by her. Its dark, gritty and gets in your head as to the how’s and why’s of people. It kinda freaked me out because I wondered if this was all real or some kinda crazy head game.

Tack and Juliette are both sentenced to the island to repent for their crimes. They both are guilty of crimes that are inter connected but neither knows the other will be there. They both are sentenced to one year in what they presume is solidary confinement. When they stumble on the other, it’s a hot mess because we, the reader, don’t really know the story. As the book unfolds and our characters let us in…holy shit is all I could say.

Tack has always been the golden boy who gets caught being not so good. Juliette is the little mouse in the middle of the games Tack is playing with his friends but her retaliation is what gets her in trouble. This book is crazy good. I couldn’t put it down because I was seriously like “Wait how can you consider this guy after he did this stuff.” And then I was like “wait after you did this stuff you are going to pick her wild flowers and offer her steak!” GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book gets in your head because the dark content makes you not want to see these two together but then again they are both in need of love, care and compassion that how can you not what them to be together…….Gosh so mind boggling!!

I am eager to read book 2 in October because the ending leaves you going WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Avid drinker of Coca-Cola, L.B. Dunbar loves the sweet things in life. Her affair with all things romantic began with her first book at the tender age of six: Goldilocks and the Three Bears. One can never forget her first! From there, the reading journey includes a deep love of fairy tales, medieval knights, regency debauchery, and alpha males. She loves a deep belly laugh and a strong hug. Occasionally, she has the energy of a Jack Russell terrier. Accused, yes, that’s the correct word, of having an over active imagination; to her benefit, such an imagination works well. Author of over a dozen novels, she’s created small town worlds, rock star mayhem, and MMA chaos. Her other duties in life include: mother to four growing children and wife to the one and only.
