Fifteen years ago, he broke her heart.
Now he might be the only thing that can save her.

Lexi Scott never imagined rock bottom could feel like a fresh start—but Lakeview Harbor might just be her second chance. With nowhere else to turn, she returns to the resort of her childhood—a place full of memories… and the boy who once promised her forever.

Connor Winslowe has finally built a life on his own terms: a thriving career, a devoted daughter, and freedom from his family’s control. But seeing Lexi again stirs old guilt… and old sparks.

Working side by side forces them to confront the past, remember the friendship beneath the heartbreak, and question if fifteen years of lost time could still lead to a second chance at love.

REVIEW:#RESORT BLISS is the third instalment in Samantha Chase’s contemporary, adult LAKEVIEW HARBOR romance series focusing on a tight know group of friends and investors: Axel, Connor Winslowe, Walker Bradshaw and Harlow, Jayce, Kelsey, Milo and Slater .This is chef and single father Connor Winslowe, and PA and single mother Lexi Scott’s second chance story line. #RESORT BLISS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

SOME BACKGROUND: Walker Bradshaw’s family owner LAKEVIEW HARBOR RESORT has sat in disrepair for years. Along with his friends Axel, Connor, Milo, Slater, Walker has reinvested in his grandparents Lakeview Harbor Resort, in the hopes of reestablishing to its’ former glory. These are their stories.

Told from dual omniscient third person perspectives (Connor and Lexi) #RESORT BLISS follows the rekindling romance and relationship between our story line couple . Fifteen years earlier Connor Winslowe was forced to walk away from the girl he loved, a girl deemed not worthy of the Winslowe name. Fast forward to present day, Connor, now the head chef at Lakeview Harbor Resort comes face to face with the woman whose heart he destroyed, a woman desperate enough to take a job that may place her in the direct line of fire. Both having married and divorced, Lexi is determined to keep her distance from Connor, but Connor is determined to prove he is worthy of a second chance.

The world building focuses on preparations for Lakeview Harbor Resort grand re-opening, as each investor finds their own love and happiness but Connor’s family is determined to keep our couple apart, even if it means destroying the family in the process.

The relationship between Connor and Lexi is one of second chances; a rebuilding romance and relationship predicated up a previous betrayal, arrogance, entitlement and pretension. Lexi struggled in the years that follow, never believing herself to be worthy enough of the man she once loved. The are no $ex scenes, everything is implied.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, determined and strong-willed secondary and supporting characters including Lexi’s best friend Kelsey, Axel, Connor, Walker Bradshaw and Harlow, Jayce, Milo and Slater, and the introduction of tour guide Nora, Lexi’s son Jonah , and Connor’s daughter Harlow.

#RESORT BLISS is a story of betrayal and entitlement, family and relationships, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is entertaining and captivating; the romance is subtle; the characters are desperate ,apologetic and charismatic.
