Reviewed by Me for TeensReadToo.com Morgan Callahan is a seventeen-year-old girl with a life in turmoil. She's still recovering from a broken leg, hobbling along on crutches. Her mother has just remarried and is indulging in a little private honeymoon with her new husband. Her father, who she hasn't seen in three years, is currently in Aruba for business, and she's passed along to him for the summer. Arriving on a tropical island for a little summer vacation should be calming, but from the very beginning, it's anything but. Her father is so busy with work-big surprise!-that he sends his twenty-year-old assistant, an intern for the summer, to pick Morgan up at the airport. Heaven forbid Phillip Callahan should take even an hour break from his busy schedule to pick his own daughter up upon arrival on an island in the middle of nowhere. To make matters worse, Phillip is detained in a late meeting, and the only person Morgan has for company is Cyrus "Cy" Reed, that cute assistant of her father's. Determined to get to know her father better, to get to know Cy a whole lot more, and have a relaxing vacation beneath the Aruba sunshine, Morgan gets a bit more than she bargained for. When a battle begins to erupt between some drug lords and CIA agents, all hell breaks loose on Aruba. TROPICAL KISS was a sweet story that has it all-suspense, intrigue, a nice island setting, comedy, and a summer spent learning about romance and family dynamics. Morgan is a typical teenager from a broken home. She's struggling to find her own identity, trying to get closer to a father who has always put his business first. With Cy, she finds a man who is both irritating and attractive at the same time, and she has to learn to come to grips with those conflicting emotions. A well-paced young adult book with down-to-earth characters, TROPICAL KISS is a great read for a summer afternoon spent out in the sun Light, fluffy read. Morgan is to spend summer with her father on Aruba, a Caribbean island, while her mother spends her honeymoon in India with her new husband. Whilst Morgan reestablishes her relationship with her father, she falls in love with Cy. There seems to be more to her father's job than meets the eye - why does he have five different passports? näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Tropical Kiss was so stinking cute. The awkward situations that Morgan kept ending up in were absolutely hilarious. Getting stuck between the toilet and bath tub in a towel can’t be described any other way than hilarious. I could relate to a few of those moments (not the toilet one), but her general awkwardness brought back some of my own memories.
The chemistry between Morgan and Cy was believable and I enjoyed reading about them. They were cute, but nothing felt rushed or unnecessary which was a nice change of pace. At first I felt bad for Morgan because of her non-existent relationship with her father. As Tropical Kiss went on and I started putting pieces together, I just felt bad for both father and daughter. Not in a this is super depressing way, but you can’t help but feel something empathy for a crappy situation.
The spy element was random. It felt like an after thought to make the book more interesting, but it wasn’t fleshed out very well so it made me wrinkle my nose in slight confusion once or twice. It also didn’t really need to be included. Tropical Kiss would’ve been fine without it.
Tropical Kiss was a quick read and I really enjoyed it. I can definitely see myself reading it again. I would recommend Tropical Kiss if you’re looking for a fun vacation type read.
