Jess goes to Maui for her sister's destination wedding. Getting in 11 hours late, she runs into her ex, Connor, cousin of the groom. Having parted badly five years earlier, she had hoped not to run into him until later in the wedding week. Feeling comfortable with him, she forgives him and arrives at the hotel with him. When Gabi, her sister, finds out, she reminds Jess what happened years before and makes Jess promise not to get involved with Connor again. As problems with the wedding occur, Gabi is turning into a Bridezilla. Everything comes to a head at the rehearsal dinner when truths are discovered. Can they go back to before the explosion? Will Gabi and her groom get married? Will Jess and Connor figure out their path?
I liked this story. It was the perfect rom-com for a hot summer night. It was fun and flirty. It had just the right amount of angst. But I have to admit, I wanted to smack Gabi up alongside of head with her demands and tell her to back off.
I liked Jess a lot. I could identify with her as it seems everything always falls apart for her. She does not see her strengths because of the criticism she gets from her family. Connor needs a good swift kick where the sun don't shine when he agrees to Jess's proposal so why is he so upset when it looks like she lied. He did not even give her a fair hearing. I was glad that they finally told the truth to each other and themselves.
I look forward to the rest of this series.

Popular Highlights in this book
Being perfect was one thing. But screwing up and having the courage to try again? That took a lot more guts. Maybe being an adult didn’t mean she’d stop making mistakes. It meant she’d own up to them right away and try to do better.Highlighted by 199 Kindle readers- But he was every bit as attracted to her as he had been five years ago. Maybe even more.Highlighted by 129 Kindle readers

BLUE HAWAIIAN is a Perfect Summer Read
Kick off your summer reading with Blue Hawaiian!Spending time in Maui, Hawaii with Jess and Connor in Blue Hawaiian has been one of my best book vacations. What a treat! This book is a delightful rom com with lots of laughter, sexy romps, and plenty of Hawaiian sunshine.It’s a reader’s tropical paradise. I can’t stop thinking about palm trees, beaches, and romantic ocean views. I’m looking forward to the next book in this series because Jess and Connor had me cheering them on from the first page.Jessica Chavez is determined to be the perfect maid of honor for her sister Gabi. But as soon as she sees the groom’s cousin, Connor Blackwood at the Maui airport, her resolve gets tripped up.Since their last and disastrous encounter five years earlier, Jess and Connor have nothing to talk about and Jess would like to keep her broken heart in the past and away from Connor. He doesn’t need to crush it again. Except now they’ll have to navigate around one another at a destination wedding on an island in the Pacific Ocean. How hard can it be? There’s a lot to do in Hawaii. And this time, Jess and Connor are older and wiser. They’ve grown up. So, bring on the tropical cocktails, sunset cruises, extravagant wedding activities and beach parties. They can handle it.Sort of. Maybe?I couldn’t put Blue Hawaiian down. Jess and Connor are so engaging as they discover the depth of their friendship, learn the power of family, and find the strength of love.Grab this book and treat yourself to a great summer read!
