Description from the publisher:
Recipe for a must-read series The
Kindle Book Review calls “outrageously entertaining…”Start with a jilted bride, a reality show starlet, and a workaholic. Add in a crazy grandma, picturesque island settings, and three handsome heroes. Read and enjoy!
Getting Lei’d: Jilted nearly-at-the-altar by text message. Honeymooning with her grandma. The resort's bartender may look like Jason Momoa, but Roxy is NOT interested.
Cruising for Love: A reality TV show looking for ratings. Kardashian wannabes on a cruise ship. What could possibly go wrong? Get swept away with Ruthie as she searches for true love on reality television.
Island Hopping: Lizzie is the workaholic everyone loves to hate. Shay is perfectly content basking on the beach. Can these two polar opposites find enough common ground to let their undeniable spark of attraction ignite?
These beach (or wishing you were at the beach) reads are loaded with opposites attracting, humor, and second chances at romance. Escape with them today.
This delightful romantic comedy
series is perfect for fans of Barbara Freethy, Bella Andre, and Melissa Foster.
Whisk your mind away to the islands now!

GETTING
LEI'D is the first book in the Escape
series. I recommend reading them in the
order of release.
This was one of the best rom-coms I
have ever read. Who needs sleep when
there is something this good to do (read) instead? It is fun, flirty, light, sweet, and
innocently romantic. That does NOT mean
there isn’t a good bit of steam. This
should not be shared with the teenagers!
I loved that Kai and Roxy were fully
emotionally involved long before the clothes came off. In fact, that was an important factor of this
story… but I won’t tell you why.
CRUISING
FOR LOVE is the second book of the Escape
series.
Roxy’s flighty sister, Ruthie, is
approached by a producer and signs up to be in a reality show onboard a cruise
ship without actually reading the contract.
She ends up with three gorgeous men in her life – Cameron (the groom the
show marries her off to on the first night of the cruise), Syd (her stylist who
becomes her confidante), and Andrew (her first crush from high school who just
happens to be on the same ship).
There are plenty of
misunderstandings and manufactured trouble (after all, this is “reality” TV –
insert eye-roll). I don’t watch reality
TV and I don’t watch mean girl types of shows, so there wasn’t a lot I liked
about most of the other characters, but Syd, the stylist, was amazing. Then there was Ruthie and Andrew – #TeamRuRew
– I was rooting for them from the moment he followed her out of the auditorium. If only all crushes led to happily-ever-afters.
The final book in the Escape series
is ISLAND HOPPING. This one definitely needs to be read
after Cruising for Love, since it is about Ruthie and Andrew’s wedding. The wedding will also be filmed for TV/online
as a follow-up to the Cruising for Love show.
It’s also about Lizzie – the girl
who was central to Roxy’s first wedding imploding. Lizzie’s day job involves being a fix-it type
of girl – an executive secretary – and she excels at it. So the producer, TJ, invites her along to add
drama to the filming of the wedding since, obviously, Roxy and Ruthie are going
to be holding a grudge, but Lizzie’s skills will be needed for all that TJ has
planned to “add drama” to the wedding.
(Yes, more eye-rolls.)
I felt bad for Lizzie. We’ve all made mistakes. Not only is she being judged, but she’s being
judgmental about Shay. Shay is an
absolute sweetheart, even if he is a beach bum…. Or is he?
One
final thought:
I’m always surprised by how much the books I’m reading seem to parallel
my life at the time. Imagine the oddness
that I have been approached by a casting director this week. It’s never happened before. Yet, this week while reading this book, it
did. Is it any wonder I prefer to read
happy and romantic stories?
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC
via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
