Description from the publisher:

I entertain naked people for a living.  No, not THAT kind of entertainment.  I own a nudist resort.  I'm not a nudist, but Val Silva is.  And he's a human supernova sleeping in the room next door.

The man is tall, gorgeous, tattooed, and a shameless exhibitionist.  As the Brazilian bad boy of the international football world, he's as famous for his sextape as for his talent on the field.  Oh, did I mention he walks around naked ALL the time?  A girl only has so much willpower.  Maybe we can have a little fun... as long as his tabloid past doesn't mess with my quiet life.

Eve Holt may be a straitlaced photographer, but she's also the sexiest woman I've ever seen, in those short-shorts and tank tops that make me wonder what she's hiding underneath.  Most women love my wild side, but Eve thinks I'm trouble with a capital T.  Okay, she might have a point there.  But I always get what I want, and I want her.  I didn't lead my team to Olympic gold by giving up.  That's one fact about me Eve is about to learn.

Natural Passion is the first book in a brand-new trilogy of romantic comedies from Anna Durand, the bestselling author of the Hot Scots series.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
NATURAL PASSION is the first book in the Au Natural Trilogy series.  I almost passed on this offer.  My calendar is just so full!  Then I saw that it was from Anna Durand and I couldn’t pounce on it fast enough.  I not only vowed to make room, but to move it to the top of the TBR pile.  I am so glad I did.

A woman who owns a nudist resort, cannot be a shy type.  Eve owns her sensuality.  In the beginning she owns her celibacy, as well.  Her mantra is, “I do not have sex with the guests anymore.”   Not working so much once she takes one look at Val.

Val is sex on a stick.  He knows it.  He’s not ashamed of it.  He owns it.  He’s also not bragging and cocky about it.  That’s a fine line, but he managed to pull it off.  I loved the way he was determined to have Eve, but even more determined to help her learn to relax at her own resort.

This was a wonderful, fun, and sexy romance with a unique vacation destination.  The characters make the book and that is the best you can hope for.

Not only are Val and Eve scorching hot from the moment they meet, there is a stunning cast of nudists/naturists who have been coming to the resort for years.  Eve’s repeat customers, new customers, and family became my new friends.  I loved getting to know them and love them.  Best of all, in the epilogue, we meet Mara who thinks she is coming to a naturist preserve to do some bird-watching… can you say, “clueless?”  She and Ollie are going to be fantastic!

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
