Description from the publisher:
Love is a risky venture in Amelia Judd's award-winning romance

"Hello, Pax. It's good to see you again."

And with those frigid words, karma kicked his ass and blew his dreams into a million tiny fragments.

Paxton Bennett walked away from a privileged upbringing to devote his life to La Vida de Ensueño, the socially responsible luxury resort he manages in Costa Rica. No way will Pax let a hotel chain swallow up La Vida and turn it into another lifeless clone. All he needs is a loan so he can match a buy-out offer. Unfortunately, every damn bank keeps saying no. He has one last hope - an on-site visit from a loan officer that he's sure he can impress....

Banker Sage Somerset doesn't want to see Pax Bennett across a busy coffee shop, let alone spend a week at a tropical resort with him. After their cringe-worthy last encounter, just hearing his name makes her blush or curse. Plus, there are snakes in Costa Rica. A lot of snakes! Determined to remain professional on her unwelcome assignment, Sage hopes she can survive a week in Pax's world....

But a quirky staff, meddlesome family, and the night-time visit of a tiny green gecko soon threaten to turn business into pleasure. Will Pax and Sage fight their troublesome chemistry? Or will they take a chance on the biggest venture of all - each other?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A VENTURE OF THE HEART is the first book in the Silver Bay series.  They will need to be read/listened to in the order of release.

Really?  This is Amelia Judd’s first release?  She did a superb job of it!

I love Sage … and her fear of snakes, lizards, and anything else that might be crawling through the leaves.  Pax grew on me.  He just needed to realize he could have his cake and eat it, too, when it came to his dreams and the dream in his arms.

There is no doubt who will be falling in book two…. I only wish I had it in my greedy ears right now!

The narration is perfect.  I couldn't listen for hours - oh, I did!  ... and I will again.

Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

Silver Bay series:
1.      A Venture of the Heart
