3.5 stars
Meg Harding is back with the Carliles -- and I must say that this family is entertaining *LOL*. I am so used to reading about big/crazy/nosy families in M/F small town romance, so I quite welcome Jackson and his family on their reunion to Hawaii.
I liked that they are not homophobic bigot family, so no hateful comments from older uncle, or church-going aunties ... simply crazy competitive family members, which probably are determined to drive away the hopeful weaklings of joining their clan *LAUGH*
I thought Jackson was adorable. I thought Aaron was a good man. I liked them enough together, but I had to admit that their relationship just fell into the light angst/nice category for me. It wasn't exhilarating enough and the (view spoiler) fizzled out the story near the end. So I enjoyed this but not loving it enough for my 4* category.
