What happens in Fiji stays in Fiji ... except when it doesn't.
Nic Wilkinson is a responsible, organized, disciplined rugby player for the New Zealand All Blacks, and a man at the top of his game. Emma Martens is a sometimes-scattered, often-emotional, and always-broke would-be designer with a big chip on her shoulder where Nic’s concerned.
They have no history together, except one perfect week. Nothing in common anymore, except the most important thing of all.
Getting together again would be messy. Complicated. Scary. And, just maybe, worth every risk.
Note: This STAND-ALONE romance, like New Zealand, contains a fair bit of steam. If that isn't your cuppa, you may want to visit a different country ... er, book.

Review
". . . a captivating read, taking the reader on a quick trip to New Zealand, then igniting the senses!" --In D'Tale Magazine
"Count this as another win for Rosalind James!" --What's On the Bookshelf
"The characters are just so deep, and so strong, and their journey - both independent of and joined with each other - is so memorable, that I clearly think the characters are real." --The Closet Romantic
From the Author
Another book that started with a dream, of a man walking across a rugby field and seeing some young kids playing. His attention is caught by one of them, and he gradually realizes ... Well, you'll have to read it, I guess. I woke up thinking about it, called some friends and said, "Do you think anybody would want to read a fourth New Zealand book?" I decided I wanted to write it, so I did. I hope you like it.
From the Inside Flap
Excerpt:
"Mum!" Zack burst in through the front door. "It was brilliant!" He kicked his shoes off impatiently, dropped his rugby boots next to them before struggling out of his jacket. Nic followed him in, grabbed the jacket and hung it on the brightly painted rack next to the door when Zack would have dropped it on the floor.
Emma reached out for a hug that, Nic saw, the boy was still willing to give his mother, at least here at home. Her eyes met Nic's as she looked over her son's head. How did she always look so soft? So . . . pettable? She was wearing another sweater, that was all, he told his troublesome libido. Another light, lacy one, prettily trimmed once again. A pale pink cardigan with pearly shell buttons, edged in cream, over a long stretchy top and leggings. She looked like an invitation to cuddle. Like the best blankie ever.
"Can Nic stay for dinner, Mum?" Zack asked excitedly, offering a welcome distraction from his wayward train of thought. "He could help me tell you all the things we did. We're having spaghetti!" he told Nic. "It's really good."
"Can't, mate. Sorry," Nic put in hastily at Emma's instinctive shake of the head. "But I'll have a glass of water, if one's on offer."
"Sit down," Emma told him. "Please."
Nic slipped off his own shoes before heading to the couch with Zack. "Cheers," he said as she came back from the kitchen to hand each of them a glass, then took her own seat in a small armchair next to the couch, the only other option the little room offered.
"You look tired," she said abruptly. "And bruised. Are you OK?"
"Just a bit confused on the sleep schedule, still," Nic admitted. "I took a wee pill on the flight home, but it never works that well."
"It's a long way, Mum," Zack put in. "South Africa's really far."
Nic took a long drink of the cold water, looked around for something to set the glass on. "Coaster?"
"Just put it down," Emma told him.
"Don't want to spoil this," he said, looking more closely at the coffee table. The simple rectangle had been transformed into a forest of ferns, with native birds peeping out from underneath fronds, perched in trees. The parson-throated tui making a meal of red fruit, the colorful, stumpy takahe on the forest floor, tiny fantails darting overhead.
"You can't," Emma assured him. "It's all enamels. Everything in this house is pretty indestructible."
"Did you find the ruru yet?" Zack asked him, leaning forward.
"Don't tell me," Nic said. "Let me look." Zack watched him eagerly as he searched and finally pointed triumphantly to a notch in a tree where the owl blended into the bark. "There."
"You did this too, eh," he asked Emma. "Nice."
"I did everything. That's my decorating theme. Things I made."
"I like it," he assured her. The warm colors of the lounge seemed to cocoon them. Two walls were a rich caramel, the others a warm yellow. She didn't even paint every wall in a room the same color, he realized. Well, at least in the kitchen it was all the same. Purple. He wondered what color her bedroom was. How it looked. And found himself wishing, against every better impulse, that he could see it.

Steamy sex and a whole lot more
By boardwalker
First things first. There is steamy sex in this book. It's not "erotic romance" by any means--the story's about the romance, not the sex--but the sex scenes are hot as hell. IF YOU DON'T LIKE BOOKS WITH SEX IN THEM, DON'T BUY THIS BOOK.
(Are they gone?) OK, here's my review. I ran (virtually speaking) right out and bought this book because I loved the first three in the series, and I read it straight through. This one's a little more complex than the other "Escape to New Zealand" books--a good follow-up to "Just for Now." It's such a sweet story about second chances. Nic and Emma are both seven years older, a bit sadder, and a whole lot wiser and more cautious than when they first knew each other. What grows up slowly between them this time felt so real to me. Zack's vulnerability touched my heart. And I loved watching Nic learning how to be a dad, trying not to repeat his own father's mistakes. Let's face it, I just plain loved Nic. He can come over to my house and give me something special anytime. . . .
. . . Wait, what was I talking about again? Oh, yeah. The last few chapters had me feverishly pressing the "down" button on my Kindle, and the ending made me pretty weepy. Sigh. He's probably too good to be true, but I don't care.
If you're somebody who likes the "Escape to New Zealand" books "except for the sex," I'll just tell you right now: skip Chapter 27. Trust me. And pay no attention to that bookmark on my Kindle. Ahem.

a REALLY good (and believable) secret baby/second chance book
By Plumie
Ah...the cliche of cliches - the secret baby/second chance/athlete romance. I have to admit a weakness of mine. I LURVE secret baby/second change/athlete romances. The fact that all three of my favorite corny cliches are found in this VERY well written novel seriously just made my weekend! The problem with loving books with the secret baby device is that the heroine often comes off looking like a selfish and immature little girl throwing a temper tantrum. Well written secret baby books with a believable premise and a sympathetic heroine are few and far between...but this is definitely one of them.
Emma meets Nic on an airplane on the way to Fiji after she's dumped on her wedding day and decides to go on her honeymoon alone since the tickets are non-refundable. She's 21, kinda flaky, a girly girl, and still has a lot of growing up to do. She and Nic meet when tipsy, she literally falls into his lap on the plane - thus setting off a blazing affair we get glimpses of in brief flashbacks throughout the book. Despite telling her he loves her and he'll call her, Nic, who's only 22 decides he's not ready for this kind of commitment, and takes his merry self off to England to play rugby, leaving a brokenhearted girl behind. He never knew she was pregnant, and she was unable to contact him to tell him. Unlike a lot of secret baby heroines, Emma never tried to keep Zack from Nic, she tried multiple times and multiple ways to get word to him and she's not too proud to ask for child support if it means Zack will have a better life with more security.
Nic finds out about Zack's existence when he's roped into volunteering at a friend's rugby camp, where Zack catches their attention because his moves are not just superior for a six year old, but reminiscent of Nic's own moves. When he catches a glimpse of Emma with the parents and notices the similarities of Zack's features to his own, that's when Nic realizes that his affair with Emma lead to a child and tracks them down. Thus begins their journey to HEA.
What I love about this book is that Nic is not just an immature arrogant athlete. Since his affair with Emma seven years before, he's grown up and matured. When he finds out about Zack's existence, he truly wants to be a good father and works hard to bond with Zack and become a part of his life. The complication is that he's engaged to his long time girlfriend, who's less than enthusiastic about Zack. Fortunately, there is no OW drama - the drama generated by his fiancee is minimal and resolves on its own so Emma is not stuck between them. Zack is also adorable - he sounds like a real six year old, and as evidenced in Just For Now (Escape to New Zealand), Rosalind James writes great kids - believable and age appropriate. It's kind of heartbreaking when he tells Nic very matter of factly that since he's not his father (before the big revelation) he can't really depend on him as you can only depend on your own dad and not other people's dads since they forget a lot. It's beautiful and heartwarming to see Emma slowly opening back up to Nic, learn to trust and depend on him, and come to the realization that he's a different man than the boy she used to know. It's also lovely to see Nic come to realize the important things in life - and it's not the fancy job, the big house, or the status his fiancee had drilled into his head.
This is a book without a lot of external conflict - there's no big misunderstandings, there's no cheating, there's no unnecessary drama and rehashing the past and all that stupid "he hurt me so bad I love him but I can't trust him so I must run away from him" crap that a lot of books involving secret babies and second chances fall into. This is a book about two people coming together after many years apart where they have both grown, two grown ups who want to do the best by their child, and two people who talk through their issues and come together naturally as a family. This is a book filled with warmth, humor, rugby, family, and the sweetness of rediscovery. For those who loved the prior books in this series (like me!), you see a bit of Hannah, a bit of Kate, and a bit more of Jenna. In fact, we see Jenna while she's pregnant with Lily and there's a nice scene between Finn and Nic as well. I love this book!

Dear Rosalind James, let's please be best friends...
By DUTCHess
Dear Rosalind James,
Let's please be best friends...
It will be great! You can keep writing these amazing, loving, respectful, alpha-male, badass hottie rugby players and I will read those books and enjoy them.
Sounds like a plan.
Sincerely,
Me.
All kidding aside, this is my favorite of the Escape to New Zealand series. Ms. James has managed to create a completely different type of character for us this time around.
Nic's a Rugby player, but the focus here is really on him being a new dad and his life adjusting, and along the way he has to deal with the decisions he's made in the past that led him here. Nic is sweet and smart, protective, loving. He's very alpha but he's also not afraid to let himself feel what he's feeling. His son undoes him.
Emma is different, too. She's not so afraid of love for herself, but she's terrified of her son getting hurt. She's very real and easy to relate to.
I didn't think anyone could steal my heart from Finn. I love Finn! I mean, how could you not?! That scene in his room! You know the scene... (Eyebrows wagging... come on you know.) Oh. Finn. Well, Nic has some moves of his own up his sleeve. And other places, too. =)
You're going to want to read this one.
That's the only way I'm sharing Nic with you.
