I've never read the author and thought it would be a good chance to be introduced to her writing.

It had a quirky, fun heroine and an elusive hero who the heroine always seems to be at odds with. I wouldn't call them enemies, though.

I had the most fun reading about the characters dealing with resort life shenanigans. Paige and Cole's romance was oddly boring compared to the rest of the story. Maybe because it was like workplace enemies...workplace enemies...workplace enemies...then BAM lustful encounters and professions of love.

Overall I was definitely entertained by this book. Fans of unrequited love, fun shenanigans, and quirky characters will definitely enjoy it.

For years R.S. Grey is always someone I read on KU whenever a new book is out so I was happy to read this new book! An island resort as the setting for a workplace enemies-to-lovers romcom was enjoyable and will make a great summer beach read.

This is a fun summer beach read. It just takes a storm to get these enemies to realize their true feelings. I love dual POV. It was good to see behind Cole’s tough exterior to see what a truly nice guy he was. Paige was little miss sunshine but it was good to see her inner thoughts as well. I’ve read quite a few of Ms. Grey’s books and they never disappoint. Thank you to NetGalley for this free advanced copy. I’m leaving this review voluntarily

I love a good R.S. Grey novel. Her books give me the romance fix I need. I know they will not be to to heavy but provide the right amount of angst to make the love story enjoyable. I love this change of scenery for this one as its usually based in city landscape. Overall a great read.

R.S. Grey's "Their Last Resort" whisks readers away to the sun-soaked shores of Turks and Caicos, where the biting banter between polar opposites Paige Young and Cole Clark takes center stage in this delightful beachside romance.

Paige, a spirited world traveler, thrives on organizing activities for the luxury island resort's guests. From bingo nights to adventurous cliffside hikes, she embraces life's adventures. On the flip side, Cole, the meticulous and by-the-book assistant director at the resort, prefers the stability of his number-crunching desk job. Their perfectly misaligned worlds collide in a daily battle of wits, showcasing a rivalry that is both entertaining and electric.

The story takes an unexpected turn when Paige discovers that Cole has been tasked with firing her, just as a hurricane threatens to disrupt their island paradise. The game of banter and rivalry is abruptly halted, forcing these two adversaries to confront their true feelings as they find themselves at odds, in peril, and forced to shelter in place together.

Grey weaves a narrative filled with sharp wit, humor, and undeniable chemistry between Paige and Cole. The banter between the characters is a highlight, providing a constant source of amusement as they navigate their tumultuous relationship. The tension between rivals transforms into a compelling exploration of hidden emotions, making the reader root for the characters to unravel the complexities beneath their surface-level disagreements.

As the storm rages outside, the tempest of emotions within Paige and Cole adds a layer of depth to the narrative. Grey skillfully balances humor with moments of vulnerability, creating a well-rounded romantic tale that keeps readers engaged from start to finish.

The setting of Turks and Caicos adds a lush backdrop to the unfolding romance, enhancing the overall charm of the story. Grey's descriptive prose brings the island to life, allowing readers to escape into the sun-drenched paradise alongside the characters.

In "Their Last Resort," R.S. Grey delivers a tropical tango of banter and romance, showcasing her prowess in crafting engaging and heartwarming love stories. If you're in the mood for a beach read filled with humor, sizzling chemistry, and a touch of vulnerability, this novel is the perfect escape.

This was lovely from start to finish. R. S. Grey has once again proven why she's a master of romantic comedies.

The characters are so lovable and relatable. I found myself instantly connecting with them and rooting for their happily ever after. The banter between the main characters is pure gold, and their enemies to lovers chemistry was perfect!

I am a huge fan of R S Grey and have thoroughly enjoyed her books for years. This one, for me, felt rushed. The set up and the location had so much potential, but the romance fell flat for me around the 50% mark.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book for an honest review. Paige and Cole work at this tropical resort. Paige is in charge of all the fun and games and Cole is in charge of running the resort. When he gets word, that Paige may be first to get cut for budget cuts, he realizes how much he likes her in his life. This was another fun, hot romantic read by R.S. Grey, a favorite go to author for me. Totally recommend this book and the characters.

RS Grey is constantly my go to author! I love her writing style and this book did not disappoint. I enjoyed the banter and enemies to lover plot. Thank you NetGalley!

3.75⭐
I love the setting of the book- resort on an island! It has some of my favourite tropes: grumpyxsunshine, workplaces romance. I loved the banter between Cole & Paige! They are both very likeable characters. The inner thoughts of R.S Grey's main characters is the cherry on top!

“Because every moment of my day is spent the same way. Hour after hour. Minute after minute. I want you, always.”

This was a nice, sweet and cute read. It's about two resort employees who are rivals (according to her) but he has always secretly liked her. A disaster strikes and they are pushed to stay together and it leads to them discovering hidden feelings. So, I liked Cole, he was sensible, smart and sweet and I could feel the chemistry between him and Paige. He really cared about her and always had her best interest at heart. Paige, I felt was somewhere annoying and immature. In the beginning, she was pinning after the wrong guy all while knowing deep inside that she has a soft corner for Cole, and I'm glad that the situation didn't go on for long. Though immediately after that, Cole & Paige were confined in a room and it's like at one minute she was mad at him and the next, they admitted their feelings. The love confession was so sudden and everything after that moved in fast-forward due to which I felt like the book lacked a solid plot and depth tbh. But overall, it was a lighthearted and quick read. The romance was cute but the last part fell flat. So, it was a 3.25 star read at it's best for me.

I enjoyed this one but didn’t love it. I didn’t really understand the enemies bit. They seem like the just annoyed each other. The forced proximity was very weird too. Overall it was fun but the story was a bit disjointed

R.S. Grey is my go to for romcoms and one of the only authors who I will read that writes in first person POV, she just does it so well that I am able to immerse myself in the characters. This book is full of tension and banter and made me actually laugh on many occasions. Fun book to get you out of a reading slump.

Thank you to Montlake Publishing and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

The most funniest book RS Grey has written to date. I’ve never had more fun than reading these characters, the atmosphere of the resort was captured brilliantly, and the funny encounters with customers and staff was amazing.

However I have one complaint, there was an Isis joke in this book- one that I did not find funny nor appropriate in a romantic comedy book especially coming from a white author, and as a Muslim reader this made me feel uncomfortable and ruined the rest of the reading experience. Hence why my rating is 3 stars, otherwise it would be higher. I truly urge the author and publishers to remove this joke prior to release, and get some sensitivity readers before it makes it to bookstores.

RS Grey has been my go to romance authors for years and every release proves why. Cole and Paige had such great banter. Their scenes were so witty and I loved their connection. I was happy with the fact that their romance did have slow burn aspects to it. The reason why this book is being given 3 stars is because of an inappropriate joke made about Syrians and those who are “heavier”. It was very unnecessary and uncalled for.

This is a light rom-com read that just makes you smile. Paige and Cole work at a resort in the Caribbean. Paige is in charge of the excursions and Cole is assistant director of operations and these two tend to always push the other one’s buttons without really trying. They have some really fun banter that you know has to add so much fire to their spirit. Paige is feisty and lets those around her know what she is thinking, especially Cole. While Cole has that laid back nature to him that you know just makes Paige angrier. Honestly, I just like these two and I really liked them together. I love how Cole wants to make things right when he finds out about plans to make some big changes at the resort. As he sets things into action it is just fun to watch it all unfold at the same time these two find themselves working closer together and falling in love. This is one of those books that you can enjoy when you need to just cuddle up, laugh a little and smile a whole lot.

Their Last Resort tells the story of two resort workers-Cole and Paige, and their enemies to lovers story of finding love amongst a storm.

While this story has banter and wit, making me laugh here and there... It also felt quite disjointed. It didn't flow well or develop with any depth. Paige came off as immature. And Cole felt like this gentle giant. I just struggle a little with their connection, being so different. Their whole lead up to I love you felt so quick too. One minute they are enemies, then BAM! They are in love. It progresses so quickly, but it's a SLOW burn in terms of intimacy. With just a little steam in the end.

This is a great storyline idea, I just didn't feel like it was executed well. I also noticed some mentions of weight often that just rubbed me the wrong way. This is my first read by the author and it didn't really work for me. So far the early reviews seem to be out of character for the author though. So I will definitely try one of her more loved reads in the future.

*I received an ARC from Montlake Publishing via Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own and given freely.

If there’s one thing this book has it’s an abundance of chemistry. Give me a guy that falls first and everytime I will be weak in the knees. Cole is broody yet endearing. Never one to show all his cards, but given the opportunity will always fight for you.

Though I enjoyed Cole and Paige together, I did have a hard time connecting with Paige. She felt more like a cartoon rather than the independent woman I am used to seeing this author write. I wish she had a bit more depth to her instead of this bubbly girl who lacked complexity to her character.

As a long time fan of RS Grey, this book fell a smidge flat for me. It had the light heart tone that I have come to love about her romcoms, but I craved more depth to the story. This book is perfect for those looking for a quick, laugh out loud read that allows the reader to get lost in a fun story.

Thank you to NetGalley and Montlake for the ARC

The start of this book was really great, I love the setting, I loved the banter and grumpy sunshine vibes. As the book continued it just felt rushed, I wished I could have seen more of Paige and Cole navigating their feelings (the I love you came really quick). I still enjoyed this story I just wish there was more exploration of feelings.

Their Last Resort by R.S. Grey was a quick read. I feel like R.S. Grey writes great enemies to lovers and I liked the banter between Paige and Cole. I'm used to her heroes being really gruff, but Cole was the opposite - he was so smitten with Paige. I do feel like this was very much a character driven book, and the plot suffered a bit. Overall, Their Last Resort was a quick and fun spicy read!
