JEN McLAUGHLIN - BETWEEN US

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…


 JENNIFER PROBST - BEYOND ME

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…


 JENNA BENNETT - BEFORE YOU

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…






MY THOUGHTS - Bianca

 JEN McLAUGHLIN - BETWEEN US

Mackenzie is a 21-year-old country music superstar. And even though there were nasty rumors in the news about her - she's still a virgin.
That's why she and her 2 best friends want to spend spring break in Florida - to have fun and even more important, to lose their virginities!

Mac changes her hair color, puts on a huge hat and goes looking for a guy - and she finds her 'victim' in a bar.


 He's all tattoed bad boy. And she starts flirting and propositioning him!
He's very interested, but because of who she is, he's not sure he needs all the problems that come with being with a superstar.
But he can't resist her - and being a bad boy gentleman - he takes her to her hotel-room and leaves her there. Because she's pretty drunk, and he doesn't want her to be regretting anything in the morning.

That's how it starts with Mac & Austin. ♥

They spend a wonderful time together - but she IS a superstar - and that soon starts making problems.
....

And not only her being famous is a problem - Austin has some secrets of his own that could destroy those new feelings they both start to have for each other...
Add some lies & or lies of omission and it's all getting really complicated...

Will they be able to overcome all those issues and live Happily Ever After???

YOU HAVE TO READ IT TO FIND OUT!!!☺

I really enjoyed the story!

Austin is such a hot and sweet guy. With a sad and violent past, but now he's a responsible adult who's trying to do the right thing for everybody.

Mac is so sweet and innocent, she's just a good person and I think those 2 are the perfect couple - they  belong together.

This was a really great & hot & sexy

New Adult Romance!


and of course we alredy meet the 2 other ladies ........

 JENNIFER PROBST - BEYOND ME

Quinn is on her way to Key West - to spend Spring Break with her 2 best friends Mackenzie & Cassie. And just like her 2 girls she wants to have fun and enjoy the male population.
But that isn't really her thing. She'd rather spend her time relaxing by the pool - with her girls and a cocktail.
But Mac said they have to live a little and that's how she finds herself at a private Spring Break party at some rich guy's mansion.
And that's where she sees him!

'Him' is James Hunt - owner of the house - giver of the party!
She likes what she sees but she thinks he's just another one of those sexy guys who know they are god's gift ...
But she's still very intrigued.

He sees her....

"The moment I saw her, my heart stopped."

James really likes what he sees - but he's at first not sure if she's one of those gold-digger girls he always has to fight off.
His friends think she's a cold princess and that he could never get her into bed - that's how the unfortunate bet gets started :( The bet that will be the cause of problems later on of course!

But Quinn is different than all those other girls...and soon the 2 of them are getting closer.
They spend some really sexy and romantic moments together.


But then - like we knew it would happen .... the bet :(

WILL THEY MAKE IT??? WILL QUINN EVER TRUST JAMES AGAIN???

YOU HAVE TO READ IT TO FIND OUT!!!☺

I LOVED THE STORY!!!!

James is so much more than what our/Quinn's first impression of him was.
He hates his life - he always wanted to be an artist - he paints and draws - but his parents pushed him to be something different, and he just gave up all his dreams along the way.

Quinn didn't have the best of lives growing up - her mother died young - her father couldn't deal with her death and started drinking.

But James & Quinn could really make it work - they could help each other to fulfill their dreams!
It's really adorable and VERY SEXY to watch them fight for their HEA ☺

Another amazing & hot & sexy

New Adult Romance!


and now on to the last girl ☺ Cassie...

_______________________________________________

JENNA BENNETT - BEFORE YOU

Cassie is in Key West with her best friends Mackenzie & Quinn. While her friends are out on the town enjoying their flings, Cassie is sitting in a bar waiting for any possible flings to show up.
That's when she notices him.
Tyler...and his funny T-shirts ☺


A super-sexy and sweet guy who doesn't seem to want to get her into bed - because after a bit of extreme flirting, by her, he only brings her to the door of her hotel room. Hm.

The next morning while out for a walk on the beach she sees him again - half naked!!! Jogging! ☺
They walk and talk, but then they find an unconscious and probably raped girl and they need to call the cops....

Tyler still doesn't seem to want to have sex - even though Cassie asked him up to her room. He says he likes her a lot but.... grrrr - she wants to get rid of her virginity!!!!

We don't really know what's going on with Ty - he's a bit mysterious!!

WHAT WILL HAPPEN??? IS HE SOMEHOW CONNECTED TO ALL THOSE GIRLS WHOSE DRINKS ARE DRUGGED? IS HE A GOOD OR A BAD GUY??

YOU HAVE TO READ IT TO FIND OUT!!!☺

THAT WAS ANOTHER WONDERFUL ROMANCE!!!!

A tiny bit disappointing because it was not as sexy as the other 2 - because Ty and Cassie don't really start anything sexy until later on - VERY late - like 5 minutes before the end ;)

But it's still a really interesting, romantic, suspensy Beach-Story!

There was a bit too much local history told here - it was interesting, but it was too much...
but....

I STILL LOVED IT!!!
I REALLY ENJOYED READING THOSE 3 BOOKs! ☺☺☺

GO AND BUY THEM!!!!!

MY THOUGHTS - Janeane

 JEN McLAUGHLIN - BETWEEN US


I love Austin and Mac!

Austin is back on track after a troubled youth. Mac, she is just trying to be a normal girl for a change, not "America's Sweetheart".


What will happen if Austin finds out who she really is?  Can she ever find a normal guy who wants her for her, not because she is a celebrity?
 

I loved how they work their way through all the BS to try to find a normal relationship.  I can't imagine what it would be like to live your life in the spotlight, to never be able to trust other people.

Ms McLaughlin has given us a fun, quick, sexy read and drew me right into the spring break feel of the story.  The story was full of emotion, happy and sad.

The only thing wrong with it was that it was too short (as were all 3 novellas in this anthology!).  I want more!!

JENNIFER PROBST - BEYOND ME

They never expected or wanted to fall in love over spring break, but Quinn, Cassie and Mac are all for no strings attached sex.
When Quinn's eyes meet James's across a crowded spring break party, that went out the window.

 I love that neither Quinn nor James are what everyone else thinks they are.  Quinn is not the ice queen, and James is not just the rich party boy.

This is written from dual POV's which could have been confusing, but the way Ms Probst has written them, it is anything but.  I loved that we got right into the heads of both characters.

Of course the road to true love is never a smooth one, so there is the misunderstanding that breaks them up.  Ugh, I really, REALLY disliked James' "friends", if you could really call them that.

Will the misunderstanding be too much for their fledgling relationship, or if what they have had in their short time together stand up to the test?

Quinn and James are so sexy together, I just want them to make it.  Do they?

Nope, for that you are going to have to read for yourself.
 
JENNA BENNETT - BEFORE YOU

Before you is Cassie's story, and the one that I liked the least of the three.  Don't get me wrong, I really liked it, just not as much as the other two novellas.
Cassie meets the guy she thinks she can have her fling with, only to find out that he has a girlfriend back home, but he would love to be her friend.
Denied.
Tyler is cute and sexy, but also confusing as hell.  Talk about mixed signals.  He says he really likes her, but won't sleep with her. Poor Cassie doesn't know which way is up around him.
He does also have a penchant for quirky/funny tshirts

Add to that someone attacking girls who look like her, and it is a wonder that Cassie doesn't go completely loco!
This novella had a lot more going on in it than Mac and Quinn's.  A lot more that was not the sexy romance kind of thing.  It is an intriguing storyline, but was not what I expected after reading the first two book
I did really like Tyler, but I wanted to shake him and ask "what the hell man!?!"  Is he up to no good?  Does he really have a girlfriend back home or is it all talk?  Is he a good guy or a bad guy?

Uh uh, I will never tell.

Ms Bennett has written a mysterious novella, a lot darker than the other two in the anthology, but still a great read.  Just don't expect any sexy times to happen very quickly!
