Rogue Wave
Isabel Jolie
(Haven Island, #1)
Publication date: April 13th 2021
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Sometimes opposites don’t just attract — they collide with all the violent passion of a rogue wave.

Tate
I sailed every ocean, saw the worst that humanity had to offer, and accomplished… nothing.

The world is just as screwed up now as it was when I set out to save it. The futility of it all left me disillusioned. Numb.

Then an idealistic beauty burst into my world, shining a light into all the dark corners of my soul.

The last thing she needs is a summer romance with a burned-out wreck like me.

I shouldn’t want her.

But I do…

Luna
When I look at Tate, I see a legend. He’s done it all, seen it all — lived my dream.

Too bad he doesn’t see what I see.

He thinks he’s all wrong for me. Too old.

But age is just a number. In our souls, where we’re both one with the sea, we’re the same.

He says I shouldn’t want him.

But I do…

They clash in every sexy, dangerous way imaginable. But is attraction — and maybe even love — enough to overcome all that stands between them? Or will their happily ever after remain elusive?

My thoughts:

If you are a fan of Isabel Jolie's distinctive writing style and have been following her West Side series, you are going to be happy to find out she has a new series. Rogue Wave is the first book in the Haven Island series and is a heartfelt, emotional, opposites-attract romance.

Tate returns to Haven Island after more than ten years of absence. He is haunted by his past and his family issues, but cannot put them to rest until he confronts them and how and why they changed him so much. Luna is a twenty-two year old student of marine biology, who, like Tate, is in love with the sea and everything to do with this amazing habitat. There is an instant attraction, but there's also a considerable age gap between our protagonists, which explains Tate's reluctance to take a chance on a romantic relationship with Luna. On surface, Tate and Luna are complete opposites: she is an optimistic, happy person, who wants to live her life to the fullest, while Tate is a classic broody hero, who might have been burned once or twice by his past experiences. The attraction is really strong and they become friends and much more, until Tate decides to break up wiith Luna and stay away from her to protect her from his past and unresolved present, he still needs to deal with.

I liked the setting o fa small island and really enjoyed the whole mystery/ suspense feel of the story. Not to say that I didn't enjoy the romance between the two protagonists who in my opinion were just perfect for each other, and, of course, their Happily-Ever-after (in case you were wondering).

I'd recommend it to all the fans of Isabel Jolie or anyone looking for a new romance series with a few relevant to the world we are living in, serious issues.
