Publisher's Summary

I’m not supposed to be on vacation with my best friend’s older brother. I’ve wanted him for so long, and now we’re unexpectedly alone in a tropical paradise. Naturally, I packed a lot of bikinis, but I should have brought armor if I want to have any hope of surviving my week away with Noah Martin…or should I say, Dr. Martin.

Way too short

I of course knew it was a short story going in but it just seemed way too quick. When it ended I was surprised because it felt like an odd place to end. Like it was unfinished or maybe there is a second book to continue their story or something. There was a time or two that I wasn't overly fond of the H as well. Other than that it was ok.

Falling for a predator? No thanks

A couple chapters in a the main character is wearing a sexy dress. The main guy refers to the dress as an “invitation”. An invitation to do what he wants to her. Ick. A sexy dress isn’t consent. Falling for a predator isn’t sexy. She’s so hopeless and lacking in any self esteem or confidence. He’s so cocky and so sure everyone who sees him must jump
In bed bed with him or die. Ugh. I couldn’t finish it.

Too predictable

This book doesn't finish. It barely starts. I was struggling to listen to the Narrator who was trying way too hard to play her character. The few more characters that were added made the narration worse. I don't like to leave less than three stars. I usually don't review the book. Hopefully someone else will love this story and this will be my bad. At this point I don't see it.

would prefer a different narrator

the narrators voice is not pleasant. it was difficult for me to stay focus.

Adorable!

Adorable and just what I needed. I love novellas and this one hit the spot. It gave me butterflies how much Noah was smitten. I wished it was a tad longer to see what happened after, but I know a hea is gonna happen for these two!

It's the start of a great story

only problem is the ending because there really wasn't one. Maybe it continues in a series or something, but as an individual read, it's a total letdown.

Needs to be longer!

Great story, great characters, lovely narrator. But it needs to be reworked with both their POV and duet narration with Laura Darrell, and Teddy Hamilton or Zachary Webber.
Half the book should be in Mexico, and then move to the hospital. The final part should be back in Mexico a year later. The intimate scenes are great, don’t change those. The Massage table scene 🤤

Ended with no ending

Book Just cuts off. I was waiting for more or some ending and it’s just done.

The Beach

The Beach is a short story about Lindsey and Noah. This book is told from Lindsey's point of view. Lindsey is best friends with Noah's sister. A group of them were suppose to go on vacation, but things happened and only Noah and Lindsey ended up going.

They work at the same hospital, but skirt around each other. Now that they are on vacation and staying in a single room feelings start to show up.

How will her friend take it when they find out about the relationship.

This book was an ok listen, but nothing really happened other than their relationship evolving.

this shirt story sucks !

I mean the storyline makes sense but it's way to short and the female narrator is pretty awful
and the sex scenes are pretty bad also
this is just a horrible book in my opinion
