Book Review: Lovewrecked by Karina Halle

I pretty much laughed and smiled my way through Lovewrecked! I loved watching Daisy and Tai come together in this incredibly entertaining enemies-to-lovers story. :-)

Lovewrecked by Karina Halle

From the NYT bestselling author of A Nordic King comes an all-new standalone romantic comedy.

A grumpy groomsman. A surprise shipwreck. Stuck on a deserted island together? Worst maid-of-honor gig ever.

Daisy Lewis is experiencing a relentless string of bad luck.

Fortunately, Daisy has her sister’s destination wedding coming up. A week of sand, sea, and sun in the South Pacific as the maid-of-honor is exactly what Daisy needs to forget her upturned life and focus on the positive.

That is until Daisy meets the best man.

If you take tall, dark, and handsome, and add a dash of rugged, a pinch of brooding, and a whole lot of sexy, you’ve got Tai Wakefield. Unfortunately he’s also a major grump, total alpha, and seemingly out to antagonize Daisy at every turn.

As if being part of the wedding party with Tai wasn’t bad enough, Daisy’s bad luck soon resurfaces when she ends up on a cramped sailboat with Tai and the newlyweds.

Which then shipwrecks on a deserted island near Fiji.

Okay, so they aren’t completely alone. There’s an oddball research scientist who has been isolated for far too long, they have rundown bungalows as shelter, stores of water and canned food, plus a feral goat named Wilson.

It’s Lost…without the smoke monster.

But with rescue weeks away, Tai and Daisy realize the only way they’re going to get through this mess is to stop fighting and start working together.
And with their guards down, they get closer.

A lot closer.

Soon, Daisy realizes that the only thing worse than being stuck on a deserted island, is being stuck on a deserted island with a man she hates to love and loves to hate.

A man that can break her heart.

4 out of 5 stars

Entertaining, sexy, and sweet! Lovewrecked was filled with fun characters, awesome animosity and bickering with fantastic building heat. I was smiling the entire time!

I loved the grumpy, sexy Tai and his frostiness towards Daisy. She was so sweet and a bit lost and having a bit of bad luck. I loved learning about them and watching those sparks fly as they come together and fall in love. I liked that building heat, all their verbal sparring was great foreplay. I liked learning their histories and watching the build to it all. There's a bit of drama but mostly it's light and easy with great scenes and dialogue.

I liked the wild situation they were in, from the wedding to getting shipwrecked to surviving and moving on with life. I enjoyed the different relationships happening and the different dynamics that were in play and how much evolved over the course of the story. There was this zany, sometimes outrageous situation and sometimes it seemed over the top but I didn't even care because I was smiling and laughing and having so much fun reading it.

Great story. Awesome HEA. Fantastic epilogue. This was just a great enemies-to-lovers story to lose yourself in. If you want enjoyable and fun and sexy, this is your read!
