Island Heir

Rate this book
Left at the altar on her wedding day, Autumn Elizabeth Ashley, angry and broken hearted takes off on what should have been her Honeymoon with her Maid of Honor and best friend Nadia Havarti.

Autumn tries to just drown her sorrows, but Nadia won’t stand for it. Instead, she helps Autumn to remember what single is supposed to feel like. So, when a strapping mountain of unidentified local man shows interest, Autumn takes a cue from her BFF with the repercussions to match.

Dalian Emeterio grew up between worlds. His family moved from their Pious and beautiful home in Georgetown, Cayman Islands to the United States when he was just a boy. Memories of his birthplace lead him to dream of one day opening a place on the island letting him take care of the parents that worked so hard for him.

One winter night while working at a Rum Point Hotel he meets Beth and the sparks fly leading to an explosive New Year. Waking alone on the sand he thought he’d never see her again.

Ten years have passed, he is now the owner of The Georgetown Heirs, a chain of intimate hotels along the most popular Port of Calls in the Caribbean, Bahamas and the Western Atlantic.

Faced with the woman who left him on the beach, he’s about to find out that getting what you wish for always comes with strings.

The dynamic duo of Haney & Hayes is up to their brilliant tricks again with Island Heir, and it was an emotional journey for real. It all starts with Autumn Elizabeth Ashley being left at the alter, and boy was I as angry as she was at that fact. She ends up going on her Honeymoon with her bestie, Nadia, and tries to stay drunk but Nadia isn't having it. Autumn hooks up with a hottie, but is gone before he wakes up the next day, and they don't come in contact for a long time when fate steps in. Dalian was that hookup, and when they met, he hadn't achieved his dreams yet, but when fate bring them together again, he had. This story was seriously trying to kill me dead with the emotional upheaval, but when the twists start coming, HOLY HELL! Loud f-bomb after f-bomb after f-bomb dropping was taking over my mouth. Island Heir was a fantastic story with a fate kicker that I couldn't get enough of, and you won't either. So, hit those one click buttons immediately, because you definitely CANNOT go wrong with this dynamic writing duo! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

Outstanding Love Story . . .

Some things are meant to be, and nothing can prevent that. Autumn Elizabeth Ashley, whom Nadia nicknamed “Beth”, was left at the altar on the day of her wedding. Thankfully her best friend and maid of honor, Nadia Havarti, would not let her friend drown in sorrow. She convinces them to enjoy the honeymoon package and for Autumn to enjoy the attentions of a sexy stranger. Autumn left him asleep on the beach. When she discovered she needed to talk with him about something unexpected and important, she had no contact information to find him and only his nickname “Ian”. He also couldn’t find her since Autumn was known to him by her nickname of “Beth”.

Ten years later, Autumn Ashley and Dalian Emeterio have an unexpected reunion. Destiny brings them back together and, although both their lives are very different, the chemistry and connection between them is stronger than ever. Both Dalian and his mom see Kaleb and know immediately who his father is. Would Autumn let him back in her life? Would Kaleb want to get to know his father?

There is so much more in this book and I loved every minute of it. The characters are wonderful, and seeing the possibility for them to become the family they were meant to be is exciting. Grab your copy and see what the future has laid out for them. Will they finally get their HEA?

Speaking of filling…..wait, that’s for later. Within the first chapters you get the panoramic view of whom you’re dealing with!

Beth was left at the alter by her fiancé, Nadia talked her into going the honeymoon cruise since it was already paid for. Dalian and Beth had a one night stand, when he woke up Beth was gone with his shirt and then he saw that the last condom had broken he tried to catch her before the cruise ship left the harbor. But he was too late and he just knew that she was pregnant since they had exchanged real names he didn’t know where to start. Then 10 years later they meet again on the Disney cruise and when he sees Kaleb he knows that is his son, Ian told Beth that he wanted to see his son and be in his life. They finally got together and became a family even with the problems that the fathers had caused when they were younger. They found out that what happened to them when children by their fathers was wrong and that Beth’s father bribed her fiancé and also threatened to kill Beth. Her father said that to her best friend since kindergarten that Nadia had to leave if she didn’t, she would loose everything that she had. But then he killed himself when Beth was pressing charges. They had a double wedding and all of them stayed together and had great lives too!

Between these two Authors, you get such good reading. I mean on their own great reading. This one had four characters & it was amazing. Main characters were Autumn & Dalian. Autumn was stood up at the alter so she & her best friend Nadia went on what would have been her honeymoon. Instead of sulking, she let her hair down & found herself an Island Boy. Things happened and 10 years later Autumn and Nadia find themselves in front of The Island Boy who is now a man named Dalian. Autumn never stopped thinking of him. Nadia feel in love with the nanny. David they both had for their kids. Now that Dalian has figured out that Autumn has a child. He realizes that her child is actually his child as well. Such a good story line. Both girls found out some shocking things about their past that these men help them through this hard time.

Review:

"Island Heir" by S. I. Hayes

My Speculation:

"IslandHeir" was quite an entertaining read with some very intriguing characters that will grip your
attention till the end, primarily as the story deals with Autumn Elizabeth Ashley [Beth] and Dalian Emeterio. I love how they met and were brought together once again that produces [ten years later] a son is introduced to his father. I enjoyed the best friend of Beth...Nadia Havarti. To have a BFF, like Nadia, was something in this day and age.

Be prepared for lots of drama with emotions that will lead to some unforeseen twists and turns as you are traveling through the read. Be ready for some hot detailed spicy, sex scenes as only these two authors can give so well to their readers.

When jilted bride, Autumn Ashley decides to go on her honeymoon and has a one night stand, she gets a little more than she bargains for, about 9 months later. Since they didn't exchange phone numbers or contact info, she has no way of getting in touch, so she raises her son on her own. Autumn and Dalian Emeterio have an unexpected reunion 10 years later and discover although their lives are very different, they are still wildly attracted and haven't forgotten the other. And when he sees Autumn's son Kalab, he knows he is his son. Can they build on this attraction and connection and create their HEA. The book is well paced, steamy, and a solid read from start to finish. And free to read with your KU Subscription.

The author went above and beyond for this storyline. The twists and surprises do not stop, even in the ending. Autumn and Dalian meet when she goes to the Bahamas on her honeymoon, minus her groom who stood her up at the altar. Her best friend Nadia is there to keep her going. Ten years later, they reconnect there, with a little extra. Nadia and David are also a huge part of the story. The parents are another whole story all together. The action and twists will not let you put the book down, and it is surprising how many directions this story goes before it is all done. Loved the variety of situations and how they were handled, even some past trauma closure. Very well done.

Autumn is jilted on her wedding day with a note that just says I'm sorry so she goes on the honeymoon cruise that was booked with her BFF Nadia instead of her no account almost-husband. Autumn meets Ian, an island boy, and they have sex on the beach. When Ian wakes up afterward, he finds a broken condom and tries to catch the ship before it leaves port. Fast forward 10 years. Autumn and Nadia are on another cruise with their two sons and two nannies, David and Jimmy. It is a Disney Cruise and it just so happens to dock in the same place as the time 10 years back, This story has plenty of action of the steamy kind and ends in a HEA. Highly recommended.

Autumn may not have had the wedding she wanted but her best friend Nadia was determined that the honeymoon wasn’t going to go to waste. While there she spends a night with a sexy stranger but when she finds out he left her with more than a memory she didn’t know how to contact him.

A decade later destiny brings them back together and although both their lives are very different the chemistry and connection between them is stronger than ever. When the secrets of the past are revealed will it bring them closer or tear them apart?

This story takes you on quite the ride filled with emotion and twists.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. Autumn and Dalian meet while she is on what was supposed to be her honeymoon. They have an incredible chemistry which led to an unforgettable night together. They both gave nicknames and were never able to track the other down. Years later they are brought back together by fate. There is more to their story than he knew. Both characters deserved a second chance at happiness. Now they can have that happy future as a family.

Autumn (Beth) was left at the alter and her best friend, Nadia, was determined that she was going on her honeymoon. While there she meets sexy Dalian and they spend one night together. Ten years later they run into each other again and the connection between them is still there. When secrets are revealed will it bring them closer or tear them apart? An exciting read with terrific characters, great storyline, and filled with drama, emotional twists, and spicy scenes.

Island Heir by J. Haney and S.I. Hayes is the hopelessly romantic story of Dalian and Autumn. Ten years after they met….they meet again!! But, things have changed!!! Can they recapture the feelings lost long ago…

Loved this tender, romantic, deeply touching story of a second chance romance!!!

The story is sweet, romantic, touching, and full of anger, regret, and distrust. Wonderful read!!

This starts out as a simple romance with Beth and Dalian who meet after she gets left at the alter and her and her friend take her honeymoon trip where she spends a hot night with him only to leave early the next morning. Fast forward ten years later and they meet again on a cruise where he finds out his is the father to her son. There are some twists and drama in this story which may or may not help Beth and Dalain decide if a real relationship is possible.

This is a well written book with strong characters and an entertaining story line. The authors had me hooked from start to finish reading Beth and Dalian's story. They do a great job developing the story and pulling you in with all the drama and emotions as well as the twists along the way. It's brought to life with descriptive and detailed scenes,flows fluidly and I enjoyed reading.

This story not only followed the budding relationship of Autumn and Dalian after ten years apart, but it also told the story of Nadia and David, and all the turmoil that unfolded with the two women’s families. There was a lot to unpack in this book, but the storyline was fast-paced and kept me intrigued and reading whenever I had a moment to escape to my reading nook.

This second chance romance had my heart pitter-pattering!

Autumn certainly wasn't on a winning streak! But, perhaps her luck is changing, or is it?

Dalian has goals in life! He's made it!

When he is re-united with Autumn, it's going to be better than ever, or he's going to as angry as Autumn when she was left at the alter!

His surprise deserves more! I was definitely reading for an HEA!

Island Heir is the first book by both of these authors that I have read. I loved reading and following Autumn and Dalian's story. When they first meet, she is on her honeymoon with her best friend after the groom leaves her at the altar. They meet again ten years later with emotional twists and turns. I found the book a joy to read and look forward to reading more from both authors.

An emotionally engaging story with drama and mystery. It was heartbreaking in the beginning. Emotionally satisfying by the end. The middle was steamy and surprising. I loved reading this book and I enjoyed the fact that I was emotionally engaged from the beginning.

So much diversity in this story.

Amazing read, I didn't want to put it down. The story moved along smoothly even with all the bumps along the way. The authors handle the unsavory fathers well, as well as other discriminations.
A story always ends best with a HEA as this one did. I'll be looking for other works from these authors.

Rebounds and hook ups.

Autumn got dumped right before her wedding so she went on her honeymoon and got lucky and drunk and pregnant.

Ten years later, she’s back and Dalian is back in the picture.

Lots of hooking up.
And a ten year old son.

How did they include so many important things and still tell a story that captured you from the start?!!
There were so many ’wrongs’ - their farthers, the fiance, the trial and more…
I loved it.
