Mila Nicks

"A fun, flirty vacation romance where love sets sail... When wealthy Blake Mulligan gets jilted at the altar, he breaks free of his 'predictable' reputation by going on the honeymoon cruise anyway--without his snobby, socialite fiancee. For the next fourteen days he hopes to escape reality and pretend he hasn't suffered the humiliation of a lifetime. The last thing he expects is to meet beautiful songstress Jubilee Collazo with her honey-sweet voice."--Page [4] of cover.

Blake, the male protagonist, is everything I would have loved on a good day—beefy, gentle, and a gazillionaire. Sadly, I didn't even like him. He read as a young-ish adult and that didn't work for me. I'm sure a case can be made for his nervousness and how feeling he got in some scenes, but, as I said—not working. 

I could never connect to Jubilee and her chapters were... bland. She was annoying in some scenes and I felt that she protected a lot of her negative feelings onto Blake. 

I did enjoy the writing style and will definitely be picking up something by this author in the future.

I can’t lie, I wanted to read this for the cover. I knew this would be a feel-good, easy, and cliché summer read. And it made the perfect story for the sunshine. I have only read one of Nicks’ books before, Love’s Recipe, and the romance aspect is what earned the stars. For Vacation Only is no different, it’s not too deep, and the love story is really the best part. 

The characters are sweet and lovable, and their personalities surprised me. Blake, who has lived in the lap of luxury since birth is timid and modest. While Jubilee, who fights for every opportunity to be on the stage, is bold and assertive. I love the contrast between them, and it really contributes to the bubbly and exciting dynamic in the book.

I wasn’t a fan of the miscommunication during the inevitable conflict, but did appreciate the resolution and conclusion. There’s quite a bit of reputation, such as the descriptions of Jubilee’s “lavender curls” and the fact that Blake looks like “Clark Kent”, which did feel overused. But as a whole, I really enjoyed this book!
