They say once bitten…
Ethan Cates is anything but shy. A little time away from his playboy playground has hardened his heart. After returning from his travels, he has every intention of keeping it locked away. This summer his plan is for the three S’s: Sun, Sea and Surf…It’s just not his entire plan. Three more S’s: Sex, Sex, and more Sex. Ethan loves women. He is just never going to love only one woman; this summer he is on a mission to prove it.
Twice shy…
Everyone has a story but not everyone wants to tell about it. Ada is hiding and has no choice but to stay that way, because she needs to find the person who means the most to her more than her next breath. If she is found and identified, she knows she will never get that chance. It’s not a life choice; this is self-preservation. She’s lost too much to give up now.
For the first time since moving to the small coastal town, Ada feels isolated in her opinion of Ethan, the town’s favourite prodigal son. He is arrogant, rude, and a complete arse to her. But, the first time in forever, Ada is distracted by a man who seems to delight in torturing, teasing, and playing a game Ada can’t afford to lose--- one she can’t afford to play at all.

Author Bio
Dee Palmer hates talking about herself in the third person so I won’t. My husband had my iPod engraved one Christmas with ‘sing like no-one’s listening’ and I know my family actually wish they weren’t listening because I am, in fact, tone deaf but it doesn’t stop me and this gentle support has enabled me to fulfil a dream. This has been a truly brilliant experience, I wrote The Choices Trilogy back to back and released them this year just one month apart...Don't you hate waiting for the next book in a series? The entire process has undoubtedly been made possible by my incredibly supportive family. I know this is very much an acknowledgment but I know I wouldn’t be writing even this single paragraph if it wasn’t for them so this is about who I am, I am because they let me be.

There is a lot to say about first impressions and judging books by their covers. I resolutely stand by my first impression of Ethan Cates, because as gorgeous as his cover is, he is a massive prick.
I am an emotional wreck after this great read.
This is Ada’s story.
You are immediately thrust into a heart wrenching scene that you just can’t comprehend, when the people you should be able to trust the most betray you in a horribly cruel way.
The story moves forward a little over two years. We meet Ethan a bar owner and partner with Buddy (Ada’s boss). Ethan is returning for a much needed break and decides to stay for awhile.
I have to say that when Ethan and Ada meet the first time it was classic and hilarious (I loved it). Of course this first meeting causes sparks to fly in many ways, Ethan seems to awaken something in Ada she hasn't felt in a long time. There is something about Ada that captures Ethan’s attention.
All of the characters involved added a great element to the story. Although I would have loved to strangle Sylvia, I felt like she betrayed Ada in such a horrible way.
I really loved the Princess Bride “As you wish” and the henna tattoo that Ada gives Ethan was hilarious.
“If I’m honest, I think I am nervous. I never actually believed this day would happen, so I didn’t even have it in my reserves as something to consider.”
There is so much to this great story that I would love to share but I don’t want to spoil anything.
You are guaranteed a couple of ugly cry moments due to lies and betrayal.
I loved how everything came together in the end, there was no questions left unanswered and a wonderful twist.
