Amber Kelly: Changing Tides

This island changed me.

Changing Tides was a beautiful story of finding oneself after your heart is broken.  Avie was dumped the day before their Hawaiian vacation, so she went on the vacation with her best friend Amiya instead.  Of course the setting was breathtaking and I could see it all unfolding before my eyes like I was watching a movie.  While snorkeling she met Sebastian who stole my heart.  Sebastian and Avie clicked and there was no denying the chemistry between them.  I loved their brief time together and how steamy it was.  And there was even a moment that was so sweet *cries*.  Yet those final few sentences, oh my heart!  I will desperately be counting down until Sandcastle Cover Series is released in 2024!

Our night of passion will forever be a beautiful memory of my time here in paradise, but that’s where it needs to stay.
In my memory.

 



Jana Aston: Crazy Little Meet Cute  

Georgina Reeves made me laugh from that first page!  Her thoughts were absolutely hilarious and I felt for her.  She was attending her ex-boyfriend and stepsister’s wedding.  And wellllll, she said she had a plus one yet her boyfriend didn’t exist.  So her attempt at finding Ben were laugh out loud funny.  But OMG Jana I NEED MORE!  This story was adorable, cute and so much fun!  I laughed, smirked and the world around me disappeared.  Can this please be a full length book?!  Please?!  I would love more of these characters!

I eye him. I want to believe I’ve had a change of luck, so very badly. “What’s your name?”
“Ben,” he quips, a playful smirk on his face.
“It’s not,” I reply, snaking my hand into his jacket pocket to nab his lanyard.

He doesn’t stop me.

 


Lauren Rowe: Horny and Healing in Hawaii

This story started off with a bang!  Julia was supposed to marry the love of her life, but before the wedding she found out he was cheating on her.  And the texts she read out loud?!  Wow lol!  I was cheering her on!  Julia ended up going on her honeymoon alone, yet there was a man in her bungalow.  Since they were double booked, Mateo and Julia decide to make the best of it.  Their time together was steamy and I was so happy that their story ended with a HEA!

“What happens in Hawaii stays in Hawaii?”
“Exactly. A fun distraction to make us forget . . .” I stop speaking, as emotion unexpectedly rises up inside me. I take a deep breath and finish my sentence. “All the lies and deceit. Even if it’s only for one night.”
His chest heaves. He rises from the couch and extends his hand.

 

I will update my post as I share more reviews from this book ♥.
