We are very excited to be a part of the Sex On The Beach Blog Tour.  Kristyn and I thoroughly enjoyed this set of novellas.  They made me want to go to the beach for spring break!  The next time I am out to dinner I am going to have to order a Sex On The Beach.

Synopsis

It’s all fun and games

 I had a simple plan for spring break.

 Sun, sand, and a hot guy. Sex on the beach, with no strings attached.

 A chance to get rid of this pesky virginity once and for all.

 And when I met Tyler McKenna, I thought I had it made.

 Until someone gets hurt

 But then girls started turning up at Key West landmarks. Girls who looked like me, but with one crucial difference: They’d all been drugged and relieved of their virginity.

 The virginity I still have. The virginity Ty refuses to take.

 And now I’ve begun to wonder whether there isn’t more to him than meets the eye.

 Suddenly, sex on the beach doesn’t sound so good anymore…

 Synopsis

 I’m just a girl…

I’m a famous country star who’s spent her life cultivating a good girl persona to avoid bad press, but I’ve reached my limit. I’m going away for spring break with my two best friends from college, and we’ve vowed to spend the vacation seeking out fun in the sun—along with some hot, no-strings-attached sex. The only thing I needed was the perfect guy, and then I met Austin Murphy. He might be totally wrong for me, but the tattooed bad boy is hard to resist. When I’m in his arms, everything just feels right.

 And I’m just a guy…

I’m just a bartender who lives in Key West, stuck in an endless cycle of boredom. But then Mackenzie Forbes, America’s Sweetheart herself, comes up to me and looks at me with those bright green eyes…and everything changes. She acts like she’s just a normal girl and I’m just a normal guy, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. My past isn’t pretty, you know. I did what I had to do to survive, and she’d run if she learned the truth about my darkness. But with her, I’m finally realizing what it’s like to be alive. To laugh, live, and be happy.

 All good things must come to an end…

Mackenzie Forbes is America’s Sweetheart. She is a musician who has gotten used to the attention of photographers who use and exploit her to make money. She has a history of making bad choices when it comes to men but she decided Key West was where she wanted to lose her virginity. Enter Austin. He is a tattooed “bad boy” type judging solely on his looks. He recognized Mackenzie as soon as she takes off her ridiculously large hat but he can’t seem to deny their mutual attraction. He takes her up on her proposition and they give in to their chemistry.

Between Us is a steamy read with all the right ingredients. The sex is hot and steamy. The pace and progression feels natural and not too rushed. Austin is everything you want in a male character. He is caring and thoughtful but bossy in the bedroom. Mackenzie is strong and doesn’t come across as overly emotional. Their relationship seems natural and not pushed to be too much too fast. I really enjoyed this novella and look forward to more from Jen McLaughlin.

Synopsis

CAN FUN IN THE SUN TURN INTO LASTING LOVE?

Spring break in Key West with my besties was supposed to be casual fun. But I never expected to meet James Hunt. Sex and frolic? Yes! A relationship? No. But his hot blue eyes and confident manner drew me in. And when he let me see the man behind the mask, I fell hard, foolishly believing there could be a future for us. Of course I never considered our relationship might be based on lies…or that his betrayal could rock my foundation and make me question everything I believed in…

 OR WILL A LIFE BUILT ON LIES RUIN EVERYTHING?

The moment I saw Quinn I knew I had to have her. She hooked me with her cool eyes and don’t touch me attitude. I had it all, money, social status, and looks. I could get any girl I wanted…until her. When my friends challenged me with a bet to get her into bed by the end of the week, I couldn’t pass it up. But sex wasn’t supposed to turn into love. She wasn’t supposed to change me, push me, and make me want more for myself. She wasn’t supposed to wreck me in all ways. And now, if I can’t turn my lies into truth, I just might lose her forever…

Super sexy and fun.  A good girl meets bad boy romance.

Quinn is a really sweet girl with a good heart.  She works at rehab center for people battling alcoholism.  She has a dark past that has kept her from pursing any type of real relationship.  She also works with the elderly and has a kind and caring soul.  She is way too good for James and he knows it almost immediately.

James is rich beyond anyone’s wildest dreams.  He has everything that money can buy and is the king of throwing parties during spring break.  But money cannot by happiness.  He is lonely.  He knows that his friends would ditch him in a heartbeat if he was not wealthy.  His parents are even worse.  He was just a pawn in their quest to be the perfect family.  They are high society and having a child made them look like the american dream family.  One the cameras were not flashing they were giving James money and sending him away.  The only thing he had to do was not tarnish the family name.

Quinn brings out the best in James.  She gets underneath his rough exterior to find out what his true passion is.  He opens up to her like he never has to anyone before.  He finds himself feeling very possessive of her and he has never felt that way before about any girl.  Quinn quickly becomes than just another conquest.  He falls hard.  But when Quinn finds out the secrets he is hiding all bets are off.  If he can’t pull himself together there may not be a happily ever after.

Jennifer is amazingly talented when it comes to evoking emotion in her readers.  I had to hold back the tears.  I also had to turn up the air conditioning because this book is smoking hot.  James is all about giving Quinn multiple orgasms.  Let me just say he takes his job very seriously.  I just wish the ending was not so rushed.  I would have liked to have seen a little bit more of life after the beach.  If you like Jennifer Probst then you will really enjoy this novella.  Overall, this was a fun read that made me yearn for fun, sun, and the beach.
