Stuck on Vacation with Ryan Rupert is the kind of book that is good for the soul. P.S. Malcolm allows us to watch Aubany and Ryan's love-hate (mostly hate...a lot of hate) relationship grow in a beautiful and realistic fashion. It was so refreshing to read a romance novel that didn't have a plot that solely revolved around third party interference. Yes, there is a crazy loon running around, trying reeking havoc, but she doesn't show up until Ryan and Aubany are well on their way to figuring each other out.

I found the ending a bit lacking (this book isn't a cliffhanger)....like, I seriously wanted to know what was going to happen once the characters returned to Florida, so I was disappointed to learn that there wasn't at least an epilogue. THEN, I got word from the author that there will be TWO additional books in the series, so my feelings quickly shifted from disappointment to joy. I can't wait to see what happens to their relationship once they're home, how Aubany's mom is doing, and what her friends think about her being in a relationship with Ryan!
