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 …

Ship Wrecked

The shtick of this book is that Peter and Maria have an awkward one night stand, but then end up awkwardly starring with each other for six years acting as slow burn lovers stuck on an island on a hit TV show. This was a fun read overall; I think I enjoyed Maria being extremely self-aware as to her own needs for happiness, and her need to have and create community wherever she goes.

This book also amps up the silliness from previous books. There's Dolphy McBlowholeface the local dolphin, Swedish poop humor, a running gag about jars of pickled herring on hand at all times, and a fear of cows. Not that I need my romance novels to be srs bsns at all times, but I think this humor style (or quantity thereof?) didn't quite land for me.

One thing I have enjoyed about the whole series …
