Publisher Description
“I fell in love with Finn and Zoe. I didn’t want it to end. Each book in this series has gotten better and better.” —Sherryl Woods, New York Times bestselling author
Zoe Tayler has spent her life doing battle: first fighting her parents for independence and then, after a car accident at eighteen, adjusting to the fact she would not walk again. She remained strong until the day Finn Doherty, the one person she thought she could trust, broke her heart. Now a successful travel writer, Zoe is excited to be reviewing a new luxury hotel for her blog in the beautiful South Pacific—until she meets its owner.
Finn was never good enough for Zoe. He knew it. Zoe’s family knew it. The village of Hawkes Cove made sure he knew it. And then he proved everyone right when he let her down in the worst way possible. Becoming a successful businessman has convinced Finn his past is behind him—until a journalist turns up to review his new resort.
Meeting again stirs up all the old feelings, and all the painful memories that pulled them apart, too. As Finn shows Zoe the exotic wonders of the islands, both face the fact their shared past might just be the beginning of a future. But only if Zoe can win the biggest battle of her life—facing up to her heart’s desire.
Read about Zoe's friends in the rest of the Meet Me series by Georgia Toffolo: Meet Me in London Meet Me at the Wedding Meet Me in Tahiti
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The splendor of Tahiti's culture and natural beauty shines in the otherwise messy third installment of Toffolo's Meet Me series (after Meet Me in Hawaii). Zoe Tayler, an accessibility focused travel writer with paraplegia, reunites with Finn Doherty, a former gang member and the bad boy of their small English village, Hawke's Cove, who now co-owns five luxury resorts, including the one Zoe's been assigned to cover. As teens, Zoe and Finn harbored a mutual secret attraction for each other, both believing their feelings weren't reciprocated. Then a heated argument in the aftermath of the car accident that paralyzed Zoe destroyed their friendship. Now physical attraction simmers as they explore Tahiti, but as each waits for the other to make the first move, they seem destined to repeat their teenage missed connection. Toffolo overloads her characters' backstories, which does nothing to prevent them from coming across as deeply unpleasant people. The conflict is similarly overwrought and, though Toffolo has clearly done her research into the lived experience of wheelchair users, the presence of an aggressively ableist secondary character—who both Finn and Zoe nonetheless think of as a "good guy"—mars the narrative. Armchair travelers may get some joy from the setting, but others can skip this.
