From Goodreads: She doesn’t do flings. He doesn’t do relationships. Seven days in the sun has never been so much fun. Olivia Cole calls it quits when she overhears her boyfriend telling his friends he'd never marry her. To help mend her heart, she takes a short working holiday in Mallorca to assist in the renovation of her best friend’s club. She didn’t expect to meet the hotter-than-hell, totally arrogant playboy Brody Fox—the architect on the renovation project who thoroughly lives up to his name. Brody Fox doesn’t understand why someone’s been sent to snoop on him as he renovates The Roca Bar. Working on the island in Mallorca gives him ample opportunity for one holiday fling after another. But when the spy is the super-efficient, effortlessly gorgeous Olivia Cole, he finds himself questioning his playboy lifestyle. For the first time in his life, he finds himself thinking a relationship could be just what he needs. Although they seemingly want different things, fighting their mutual attraction is a good way to start, even if it doesn’t come with the best of intentions.

If I had gone to this author's website, I would have realized she likes to write steamy romances. Unfortunately, I didn't do that. I generally don't have time to do that before agreeing to read a book. This one was definitely steamy. I had to skip a lot of sections because I don't read sex scenes. So... there's that. The story itself was cute, but not something I'd want to reread. The characters were kind of boring and predictable and, apparently, only think about sex. I think if I wanted a steamy romance then this would be fine. It would be a cute little read to just get out of my head for a couple of hours. Sometimes, as a mom, we need quick and easy reads.

I give this book 3 stars: ***

I do think that if I liked steamy romance, this would be a fun read.
