After All the Feels and Spoiler Alert, Olivia Dade once again delivers a warm and wonderful romantic comedy about two co-stars who once had an incredible one-night stand—and after years of filming on the same remote island, are finally ready to yield to temptation again…Maria’s one-night-stand—the thick-thighed, sexy Viking of a man she left without a word or a note—just reappeared. Apparently, Peter’s her surly Gods of the Gates co-star, and they’re about to spend the next six years filming on a desolate Irish island together. She still wants him…but he now wants nothing to do with her.Peter knows this role could finally transform him from a forgettable character actor into a leading man. He also knows a failed relationship with Maria could poison the set, and he won’t sabotage his career for a woman who’s already walked away from him once. Given time, maybe they can be cooperative colleagues or friends—possibly even best friends—but not lovers again. No matter how much he aches for her.For years, they don’t touch off-camera. But on their last night of filming, their mutual restraint finally shatters, and all their pent-up desire explodes into renewed passion. Too bad they still don’t have a future together, since Peter’s going back to Hollywood, while Maria’s returning to her native Sweden. She thinks she needs more than he can give her, but he’s determined to change her mind, and he’s spent the last six years waiting. Watching. Wanting.His shipwrecked Swede doesn’t stand a chance.

"I really wanted to like this book! It started off strong with a 🌶 scene to start the book off. I also liked that both main characters were fat and completely confident in their bodies. Love body diversity representation in romance. Aside from those factors I could not for the life of me get into this book. I listened to the audiobook and had to keep back tracking because I was zoning out. There were so many time jumps that confused me. All of a sudden 6 years had passed. The introduction of new characters was abrupt at times as well. There were also some flashbacks that seemed unnecessary. Through the entirety of the book it felt like nothing happened. The 3rd act conflict seemed forced and I was just waiting for the book to end to be honest. I was really busy when I listened to this book so maybe I would have gotten more out of it if I were to listen more carefully. ⭐️⭐️.5/5 🌶🌶/5 level. "
"This book was amazing! Peter and Maria had such amazing chemistry throughout the entire book and it spanned 6 years! I thought the author was masterful in her timing and plot along with the time jumps. I loved the inclusion of youtube comments, text threads, and fanfiction. It made the book funnier and gave nice links to previous characters in this series. I love Olivia Dade's inclusion of fat characters and how she doesn't shy away from calling out how people interact with fat people."
