I think I just read my new favorite R.S. Grey book. And in typical Macy fashion, my only complaint is that I want more. I need a full 8 book series of Cole and Paige's life together in Turks and Caicos (or traveling around the world and working at various destination hotels).

This writing is witty and emotional and just plain fun. I feel like R.S. Grey's has me wrapped around her writing finger. Sometimes, I'll read a passage and it just sounds like something my inner monologue would say so it's like she's sitting on my subconscious and marking it up with a pen. (Does that make sense? Am I just rambling? Will probably have to go back and edit this one when I'm not on a book high, I think.)

Cole and Paige are textbook enemies to lovers and it works so well. There's a bit of adventure and tension due to the hurricane and the whole bit about working at a luxury hotel, but also their banter is top notch. I'm not even sorry for gushing about this book so much. I loved it.

If you are new to R.S. Grey's books (welcome my friend), I know her backlist is a little daunting because she has so many publications, but this is a great place to start. Plus, this book is on Kindle Unlimited so what do you have to lose? Nothing. That's what.

Tropes: enemies to lovers, forced proximity, mutual pining, workplace romance, found family, opposites attract, and dual POV.

Their Last Resort was a quick, workplace rivals romp. It definitely gave me The Hating Game vibes. I enjoyed the slowburn element of the story and I also really enjoyed Cole. At times Paige seemed a little over the top in her goofiness at times, but I felt like overall she and Cole balanced each other out well. If you're looking for a cute, quirky, quick read, give this one a go!

Thank you PR for the ARC.

I read a review that said that Paige has "pick-me-girl" energy, and I couldn't agree more!
The way the author paints Cole in a less-than way, bc he is an accountant manager, wears suits, is "stuck indoors performing his number-crunching desk job", has a "five-year plan. It’s color coded and leather bound." Can we stop that? There is nothing wrong about being working an office job, being by the book and having a five-year plan.
R.S.Grey's heroines come across as the most immature FMCs I've ever read about - characters who are supposed to be adults. Case in point, they kiss, she flees, and when he says "last night never happened", she gets hurt. I mean, OK for the getting hurt part, but if you run away from someone after you kiss them, can you blame them for their reaction? Come on.
This was already not going well, so imagine my shock at this sentence:
<i>“Imagine if he accidentally booked a flight to Syria. He’d be bartending for ISIS right now . . .”</i>
Not only is it of poor taste, but what a completely idiotic statement to reduce a country to this. Syria is culturally rich: cuisine, music, literature. Some people need to remove their head out of their ass and take a look around. How did a casual remark like this go through editing?
This is where I dnf.

ARC thorugh Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

This was a cute and funny quick paced story. I liked how the plot progressed and how the characters were written.

Ok, this book was so darn sweet! I loved the banter between the characters, I adored Paige and Cole was just PURE perfection, they are hilarious though. This is an enemies to lovers trope but then again they both have feelings???? its hard to describe but its a speed read, the chemistry is THERE with these two, and its a perfect before-summer read.

Thanks Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

Romantic, funny and utterly consuming, Their Last Resort was everything I had hoped for, and so much more. I adored Cole and Paige’s story, their banter is absolutely on point and their chemistry is exquisite perfection. RS Grey is an automatic must read for me, and this book proves why!

This was a very fun read. There’s a great sense of humour running through the book, R.S. Grey’s turn of phrase is very amusing. The romance also has a really lovely edge to it; whilst there is good chemistry and sexual tension in it my favourite thing was how soft the relationship between them is. The mutual pining is just delicious, and there were lots of touching little moments which showed how deeply they cared about each other, as well as scenes where they laugh and joke together. It gave a really good grounding to their relationship beyond just physical attraction and I loved that about this book.

However, the hurricane aspect of this book felt a little underwhelming and, based off the description, actually occurred a little late for me in the book. I also thought the pacing in general was a little off; there were parts of the book that felt quite fast and then the ending felt quite dragged out.

Still, it didn’t impact my overall enjoyment of the book too much. It was a very solid romcom - funny and fluffy with a really cute and sexy romance. I enjoyed it a lot and would recommend it to anyone looking for a light, fluffy, forced proximity romance with some good mutual pining. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing a free copy of this book.

Content Notes: Natural disaster (hurricane, flooding). on-page sex, unprotected sex.

This book had me smiling from beginning to end. I really enjoyed this slow burn romance with a good balance of sweetness, funny moments and a great setting in Turks and Caicos. Highly recommend, especially if you need a break from angst books with extremely likeable characters and a fun plot behind the scenes of a tropical resort.

Oh my! Paige and Cole stole my heart. I love their witty banter and Paige's inner thoughts so much. I listened to the audiobook and Luci Christian and Wyeth Watts just nailed these characters and their personalities so perfectly. The chemistry was hot and you could feel their attraction from the beginning. Enemies to lovers is my favorite trope and it is perfection in this story. I can't wait for a physical copy to put on my favorites shelf.

4 Stars!
Paige Young enjoys traveling and seeing new places, so when she gets the opportunity to work in paradise she takes it. She quickly decides the island life is for her. Every day brings something exciting with her job at a luxury resort in Turks and Caicos. She is in charge of guest activities, entertainment and hospitality. Life in the tropics is full of adventure, and her new home has become her sanctuary and happy place. Everything is wonderful at Siesta Playa, except her relationship with the assistant director of operations. Cole Clark is second in command and always manages to annoy her and get her all riled up. For a year they've been rivals since that kiss they pretend didn't happen. They drive each other crazy, and are just too different. While she's fun, spontaneous, and up for anything, Cole is a grumpy workaholic whose usually behind a desk. He's a number crunching, rule following, buttoned up suit type that does everything by the book. They enjoy tormenting each other, and lately he's a huge thorn in her side. When their suddenly forced to spend more time together in an emergency situation will they finally move past the enemy stage and confront the real feelings that might be hiding under all that animosity?

Their Last Resort by R.S. Grey is a slow burn, rivals, opposites attract, enemies to lovers, beach romance full of sizzling chemistry and fantastic banter. I really enjoyed this fun, flirty, cute read! <333

Cole is Paige's work nemesis, from the first day they meet, his cold demeanor is the exact opposite to her sunny one. Each day they throw barbs at one another and it's obvious to everyone around them (except them, it would seem) that they are made for one another. after a few vulnerable moments, Paige isn't sure that Cole really truly likes her, so she tries to protect herself by putting all the walls up and trying to find someone else to focus her attention on.
I really did enjoy the chapters we got to see from Cole's POV and I will admit, seeing Paige try to make Cole jealous, got a little cringey, but I lived for Cole. I loved his patience with her, his quiet brooding and his willingness to banter back and forth with her. He was so shy and like a little puppy I just wanted to hug. I love workplace romance, especially when it is enemies to lovers and the boy falls hard and first. So if those tropes are your jam, you need to check this out. 3.5 stars rounded up cause I really did love Cole.
Thanks to Montlake, Netgalley and RS Grey for an early copy.

Cole and Paige are co-workers at a resort in Turks and Caicos. They have this hate/hate relationship, but really they both like each other. Cole is reserved and quiet while Paige is more outgoing and loud. She seems a bit childish, too, for being 25 years old.

I was wondering how they were going to get together when a hurricane forces them to share a room and bed. I felt the build up to that was slow, but the I love you to each other was too fast and weird.

This is my first book by this author and while I liked enough, I didn’t love it. I’ll try another of her books, though.

Thank you to Montlake Romance and NetGalley for an advanced readers copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

can we please stop having FMCs that are irrational, immature,, accident prone morons?! I can’t root for these type of women. They have no agency. Maybe this is a me problem, but if Paige (our FMC) were an actual employee at this hotel, it absolutely wouldn’t be a luxe resort in T&C, it would be a Great Wolf Lodge. I struggled to get past her attitude and incompetence. I get that she’s supposed to be fun and care-free but in her environment, no way. Cole, our MMC, is fine. He doesn’t get as many POV chapters as I would have liked, mostly because I couldn’t stand being in Paige’s “head”. Our heroine has to big changing moment, or growth. The couple become a couple quite quickly within the book, though we know they have worked together for a while. Unfortunately, the plot is lacking and the tension/chemistry was nonexistent. I really hope you have better luck with it. R.S. Grey is usually a hit for me, and I think it’s just a character mesh issue for me. They're not for me. 2 ⭐️

I’m so grateful to the publisher, and to NetGalley for this advanced copy, in exchange for my unbiased review.

RS Grey will always be an auto buy, and Their Last Resort was another fun read! Finished this in like one sitting, too!

I’ve been waiting to read this book for months, I get so excited each time R.S. Grey releases a new book and I hope that never changes! Cole and Paige are so much fun, their life at the T&C resort seems like so much, like id love to runaway and do their jobs for a year or so, but they also have such a fun coworker relationship as Paige dislikes Cole and Cole just finds her adorable.

Paige is literally adorable but also the way Cole describes her, you can see how he fell in love with her. He sees every detail about her and loves both her good and bad traits. He is also super respectful of her and I love that. The hurricane was a great way to add external conflict to the story in addition to Todd’s story line!

Their Last Resort is a great summer rom com that is perfect for a vacation on the beach or at home wishing you were at the beach!

3⭐
Though I didn't like it as much as the other books by this author this was still a fun little book to read while on breaks at work.

The fmc felt immature and the banter between the couple was eye rolling but I liked the resort aspect of it, it was fun to see the different types of guests that go there. I also appreciated the fact that it didn't have a third act breakup.

What I would like to point out was the very inappropriate "joke" about Syria and 1sis???? Ms grey what were you thinking???? Not funny and hopefully it gets taken out.

This was a cute and quick read. I felt that the flashback to them kissing was a little bit misplaced and should have been mentioned earlier. But I did enjoy the enemies to lovers vibes !

This is a trope-y and sometimes cringe-y - rom com. Paige and Cole are opposites who work together at a resort. Their banter- she's the scattered sunshine, he's the buttoned up grouch- seemed a little pat to me. This is an easy read that will be good at the beach or by the pool.

I had really high hopes for this book but it was a bit too insta-love for my personal taste. I wanted more development for the romance. The characters did not seem to have a deep connection and I didn't particularly care about their relationship. But if you want a quick, fun read give this one a try!

An enemies to lovers romance with all the feels, set in the stunning Turks and Caicos, laugh out loud hilarity, and a handful of great characters.
Paige lives for the outdoors. Her job is perfect for her, and her island home is somewhere she wants to stay forever. If only she could find someone to share it with. Well, there is that one guy she loves to hate! Or does she?!
Unique and full of life, she lights up every room, and Cole is more than aware of that. She might hate him, but he can't get her off his mind.
A storm, a villainous boss, and a bartender named Dante might be seemingly obstacles, but they could also be stepping stones to a love that will take their breaths away.
