Inseverable (Carolina Beach, #1)

Brought up to put the considerations and needs of other people before her own, Trinity Summers plans to join the Peace Corps now that her studies are over. She's always been the girl in the friend-zone except for one time where she gave her heart readily, only to find her cheating ex in bed with one of her closest friends. However, before moving on with her life she wants one last carefree summer on Kiawah Island with her cherished friends. She's happy with her life choices until she meets someone who makes her question whether her chosen path is the right one.

Jaded former army sniper Callahan Sawyer jumped at the opportunity to take over his Uncle's place on Kiawah Island. It's secluded and quiet and just as he imagined it would be when he arrived in March. Now that the lifeguards have moved in for the summer season he's regretting his decision to move to the island until a young woman pushes herself into his person space and gives him a glimpse of a happy ending he never thought possible.

He's a grumpy, broken soul but has a heart of gold and I really empathised and felt Callahan's 'pain' during his first meet-ups with Trin because she has a joie de vivre that's exhausting to some people. Her persistence holds no bounds yet, as the pair slowly get to know each other, she tempers down her overbearing temperament. The pair appear to be at the opposite ends of the personality spectrum, however as Trin becomes more attuned to Callahan it's clear they compliment each other perfectly. Their slow-burn romance is palpable with a few bumps providing some angst in an otherwise light-hearted novel.

This is the first book I've read by Cecy Robson and I'm impressed by her writing style which kept me engaged within the plot the whole duration of the book. Expect some laugh out loud moments so cringe-worthy they'll make your toes curl within this fun novel. I look forward to reading more from this author.
