Cat Lavoie is now on tour with CLP Blog Tours and Zoey & The Moment of Zen
Summary:
When coffee shop owner Zoey Everwood takes her obsession with ex-boyfriend Braden too far, everyone—except Zoey—is convinced a bit of fun in the sun at the Moment of Zen Wellness Resort will help her get over him once and for all.
But Zoey’s relaxing vacation turns out to be anything but peaceful when she meets Shane Lawson, a resort guest who bears a striking resemblance to Braden. And things get even more complicated when the resort’s owner starts spilling secrets about Zoey’s aunt Nessa, the woman who raised her. Add a snarky Wellness Coordinator and Nate Holmes—Shane’s grumpy friend—to the mix, and you’ve got the recipe for a perfect tropical storm.
When Zoey comes back home with a new husband instead of tacky souvenirs, she must convince everyone she hasn’t completely lost her mind. As Zoey and Shane struggle to keep the magic alive outside the resort, Zoey discovers that she isn’t the only one having trouble letting go of the past. And when Nate drops a bombshell that changes everything, Zoey must decide if the old saying is true—what happens at the Moment of Zen stays at the Moment of Zen.
Review:
This was the cute, funny, “we’ve all done that crap” or we have “a friend who’s done the exact same thing” kind of book that I love. Zoey is in love with a guy and she just can’t seem to forget him – although their relationship has been over for a year. Despite the encouragement of her friends, she just can’t forget him. Once she sets her sights on a new man, though, it’s full throttle fun. Characters & relationships grow and evolve, and although at times I wanted to scream at Zoey and tell her “NO! STOP IT!” – I loved her. I enjoyed this book from cover to cover, and Cat did a wonderful job writing. A great book with a nice story, perfect writing and character development, you definitely want to read “Zoey & The Moment of Zen.”
