Review of Both:
I enjoyed All Fruits Ripe, but it wasn't absolutely a necessary read for Rum Punch Regrets. The story held my interest and was an easy read. That being said, I moved onto reading Rum Punch Regrets immediately.
The book started off where the prequel novella left off.
Abby had no job, no boyfriend and no savings. Then her sister offered her the chance to go to the Caribbean to oversee some business for her. The premise here is sketchy and I wasn't sure I bought it. Never the less, I overlooked it and continued with the story and I am glad I did.
Rum Punch Regrets starts out a little slow and unbelievable, but quickly picks up the island motto 'limin'. I soon became engrossed in all things Abby. She was a relate-able character and easy to read. The further I got into the story, the better it got.
I loved the last third of this book immensely!! Boy did the author tie things together for a stunning cliffhanger! I sure hope there will be a sequel, because the romance was just getting good....
If you enjoy chick-lit or romance stories with a unique twist, then Rum Punch Regrets is for you. It is on sale now!!!
