GRR Reviews Love's Ride (McCallister's Paradise Book 4 by Chantel Rhondeau

Love's Ride is about romance and wish fulfillment, as well as survival and struggle, but there's a deeper theme here about trust and earning such.

Brad McAllister always felt left out. He thought taking over as the manager of the resort from his older brother Quinn (book 1 of series) would have made him feel better, but now he's watching his siblings finding their life partners, and he's feeling left out, because he wants only one woman... the island's psychologist, Chelsea Taylor. Chelsea loved the island and the large family of employees, but she wants a bit of adventure, for she had some childhood fears she's trying to work through. So when Brad surprised her with a two-week survivalist getaway on the island, away from his meddlesome family, she couldn't refuse. But the first thing she did was steal his satphone, so he can't call for help at the slightest problem. Little did they know their little adventure in paradise will turn into a real fight for survival...

As you can probably guess, the phone and half of their supplies was lost due to an accident and both were injured, and both had to figure out a way to get back to civilization, as well as work through their trust issues to find love.

The author has consistently delivered above average romances with a slightly deeper theme than usual, with enough plot to be entertaining and romantic. I recommend this series to anyone who wants some good romances.
