The Last Resort by Marissa Stapley

This is a fun book.

The Harmony Resort is run by  Dr Miles and Dr. Grace Markell, the famous, powerful and rich therapist couple who help renew and repair struggling marriages in a luxurious setting on the gorgeous Caribbean coastline of Mexico.

While the resort offers the best of food and accommodations, the intensive therapy at The Harmony requires one to accept some uncomfortable rules like no cell phones, laptops or any contact with the outside, relinquishing certain property when your baggage is searched without your knowledge when you arrive, and following the rules that Dr. Miles sets for the resort and your therapy without question.

Shell and Colin are attending therapy when, after a devastating accident changes their lives forever, Colin becomes a workaholic and Shell seems to have simply lost herself in a quiet depression.

Ben and Johanna seem like they should have a good relationship, but are struggling to connect. She has headaches and he feels rejected. While they appear to be good together, she is hiding a secret that could devastate her marriage. 

Eventually it becomes clear that behind the caring and charismatic appearance of Miles, there is something dark underneath his pleasing surface and while Grace appears quite professional, a dutiful wife, occasionally you catch of glimpse of something like fear in her eyes.

When a massive hurricane threatens the resort and everyone in it, truths come to light, relationships are tested, and by the end, everyone will have their lives changed forever.

A juicy, fun, thriller of a novel.
