NEW RELEASE
The Longest Holiday - Paige Toon (2013)
Laura first made an appearance in Paige Toon's book Chasing Daisy, where she was dating a racing car driver named Will. She never thought she'd find love again after Will died in an accident. That is, until she met Matthew. After seven months of wedded bliss, Laura discovers that Matthew made a life-changing mistake a week before they walked down the aisle. Desperate to get away and clear her head, she goes on a two-week vacation to Key West in Florida with her friends, Marty and Bridget. Laura's feelings become more complicated when she starts to fall for Leo, a sexy scuba instructor who lives beside the hotel she's staying at. After the two weeks are up, she doesn't want to go home. Feeling torn, Laura struggles to decide whether she should work things out with Matthew, or follow her heart and stay with Leo. This charming love story made my heart flutter (Leo is seriously hot and adorable). Key West sounds so quaint and beautiful, and I felt empathy for Laura throughout. Paige Toon throws in unexpected plot twists; be prepared for a dramatic ending! (CK)
The Longest Holiday, by Paige Toon, is about a girl who escapes on a holiday in the sun. The summary says: "'Don't wait for the storm to pass; learn to dance in the rain...' Laura has been married to the man of her dreams for seven months. But a week before the wedding, Matthew made a terrible mistake. Escaping the humiliation that is now her marriage, Laura is whisked off to Florida's Key West by her best friend Marty. A carefree holiday full of cocktails and fun, surrounded by gorgeous, tanned men, is exactly what the doctor ordered. Distraction comes in the form of sexy Cuban scuba diver Leo. Laura's instant attraction to him knocks her flying, and she falls hard. As the end of the holiday approaches, Laura doesn't want to go home. Is it time to face the music? Or is there more to Key West than a holiday romance?" The Longest Holiday is out in April. Laura is Will's childhood sweetheart from Chasing Daisy.
