Doughnuts were her weakness.
If Sadie Mullins hadn’t been running on the beach to burn off the calories from her doughnut addiction, she wouldn’t have noticed the man not moving out in the water.
Wouldn’t have dived in after him.
Wouldn’t have met West Montgomery.
The cocky bastard should have been thankful, grateful even.
Of course, he wasn’t.
That should have been the end of it.
Of course, it wasn’t.
Damn doughnuts.

Having hope was her weakness.
If Sadie Mullins hadn’t started to believe in love again, hadn’t let herself fall for him, she wouldn’t be feeling this way.
Wouldn’t have her heart breaking.
Wouldn’t regret meeting West Montgomery.
The cocky bastard should have left her alone, let her forget about him.
Let her move on with her life.
Of course, he didn’t.
That could have been the end of it.
Of course, it wasn’t.
Damn hope.

I LOVE this series! It's sexy and funny and a whole lot of other things that will surely get you squirming on your beach towel.


On the Island – Tracey Garvis-Graves
Amazon: http://amzn.to/1WKNSlo

Two people stranded on an island struggle to survive—and slowly fall in love—in the runawayNew York Times bestseller from the author of the forthcoming novel COVET.

Anna Emerson is a thirty-year-old English teacher desperately in need of adventure. Worn down by the cold Chicago winters and a relationship that’s going nowhere, she jumps at the chance to spend the summer on a tropical island tutoring sixteen-year-old T.J.

T.J. Callahan has no desire to go anywhere. His cancer is in remission and he wants to get back to his normal life. But his parents are insisting he spend the summer in the Maldives catching up on all the school he missed last year.

Anna and T.J. board a private plane headed to the Callahan’s summer home, and as they fly over the Maldives’ twelve hundred islands, the unthinkable happens. Their plane crashes in shark-infested waters. They make it to shore, but soon discover that they’re stranded on an uninhabited island.

At first, their only thought is survival. But as the days turn to weeks, and then months, the castaways encounter plenty of other obstacles, including violent tropical storms, the many dangers lurking in the sea, and the possibility that T.J.’s cancer could return. As T.J. celebrates yet another birthday on the island, Anna begins to wonder if the biggest challenge of all might be living with a boy who is gradually becoming a man.

I cannot say enough great things about this book! I loved every single thing about the adventure and the love. Watching the characters grow and evolve is fascinating. If you have this on your TBR it's a great time to pick it up. It's a great read for that summer porch swing!

The Summer Games – R.S. Grey
Amazon: http://amzn.to/1TGnKWw

As an Olympic rookie, Andie Foster has spent far more time in her cleats than between the sheets. For 21 years, her Friday nights have consisted of blocking shots rather than taking them. But now that she's landed in Rio, she's ready to see for herself if the rumors about the Olympic Village are true:

• The athletes are all sex-crazed maniacs...
• The committee passes out condoms like candy...
• The games continue long after the medals have been handed out...

As Andie walks the line between rumor and reality, she's forced into the path of Frederick Archibald, a decorated Olympic swimmer and owner of a sexy British accent—too bad he's unavailable in a way that "it's complicated" doesn't even begin to explain.

In other words: off limits.

It doesn't matter that he has abs that could bring peace to the Middle East and a smile that makes even the Queen blush; Andie fully intends on keeping her focus on the soccer field. But the Village is small. Suffocating. Everywhere Andie goes, Freddie happens to be there—shirtless, wet from the pool, and determined to show her a whole new meaning of the phrase "international affairs".

If this is what the Olympic Village is like I'm a pissed I didn't spend more time training! I love this fun and flirty read. Nothing like a man in a Speedo to get your heart racing!


Maverick – Anna Cruise
Amazon: http://amzn.to/1OJfQ9t

Kellen Handler is in deep.

Ever since he can remember, he’s wanted to be a professional surfer. And he made it, rising to the top of the ranks, traveling the world and riding every break he’s ever dreamed of. His good looks and reputation for living on the edge—both in and out of the water—have made him an international superstar. But when his best friend dies in a tragic accident, Kellen wipes out big time, spiraling so badly that everything he’s worked for starts to disintegrate.

Tour officials scramble to do damage control and demand he work with a public relations company to clean up his bad boy image. It doesn't help that the person assigned to him, Gina Bellori, has her own demons associated with the surfing world.

Against her better judgement Gina accepts the job and concentrates on repairing Kellen's tattered reputation, despite his protests and despite the pain it causes her. With her past colliding with her present—and Kellen in the thick of it—she begins to realize that some secrets can't stay hidden.

And suddenly, Kellen Handler is no longer worried about losing his career.

He's more worried about losing his heart.

Anna Cruise is one of my all-time favorite writers and this is one of my favorite beach reads! Kellen is sexy on and off his surfboard. Click it now and get ready for a wet and wild ride!


Bait – M. Mabie
Amazon: http://amzn.to/1U9qjPB

He was trouble from the start, but I couldn't resist.
She was the best kind of trouble. The kind that was so wrong, it felt right.

I’ve tried and failed to stay away from him.
I’ve done everything in my power to make her mine and keep her.

He’s almost impossible to say no to.
She never tells me yes.

We’re always fighting.
When we’re not fighting, we’re… well… making up.

He makes me laugh so hard.
I miss her laugh the most.

I'm a liar.
She knows the truth, but won’t admit it.

Sometimes, I wish I'd never met him.
I wish we could meet all over again. I'd do better.

His girlfriend knows.
The guy she’s with is a fool.

I’ll never love anyone like I love him.
She doesn’t love me enough to choose us.

It was the wrong place.
It was the wrong time.

It should have been him.
It will always be her.

When I read this book, I immediately messaged M. Mabie and gushed about how much I loved it. It's a little taboo but in a great way! I loved Betty and Lou and rooted for them from the jump! Bait is the first in a series of three and I promise you won't be able to stop until all three are devoured.


Below the Surface – Elizabeth Lee
Amazon: http://amzn.to/1Wddqrh

Daniella Alvarez and Dylan McKendrie used to be in love. They used to be a team. An inseparable force to be reckoned with. But, when tragedy struck, their relationship sank faster than the ships they used to scour the ocean floor for. Now all that's left are scattered remains of what used to be. 

Dylan, no longer seeking the mysteries on the ocean floor, now goes for the sure things and the guaranteed paychecks. When a longtime friend suggests he has hard proof that one of those legends that used to keep Dylan up at night could be real, he's torn between going after the gold and maintaining the life he'd built since leaving The Florida Keys. 

Daniella was always a dreamer. She's always been chasing what would most deem unattainable—professionally and personally. Everything she'd ever wanted seemed to slip through her fingers the day he left, which is exactly why his return has her seeing red. 

Can the two of them put their past aside long enough to figure out a mystery that has plagued them both for years? Can they work together to see what lies below the surface? 

I know, I know...I wrote it so I'm biased, but this one has everything that's perfect for summer! A sexy boat captain, a sassy diver and mysterious shipwreck! You'll want to see what happens when Dylan returns to the island he left behind and has to face the woman who broke his heart.

Prologue – Dylan
     I hadn't realized exactly how much I'd missed the clear blue water of The Florida Keys until I was upon it. It was a far cry from the murky coastal waters I'd become accustomed to over the last five years. Why exactly I was back in the place I'd left behind was still in question, but when someone texts you and says they have a lead on something that has plagued your dreams for years, it's hard to ignore. I was pissed at myself for even considering chasing after fairy tales. Yet here I was.
I let my sister, Minx, take the helm and made my way to my room. The sun glistened off the waters and I could taste sea salt on my lips. My eyes had to adjust quickly as I moved from the open deck into the enclosed stairwell that led down to the sleeping quarters. The Spindrift was an eighty-two foot salvage boat. We had all the bells and whistles—sonars, navigational displays, GPS. All things we didn't have when my dad was alive. Things I'd been able to purchase by actually turning a profit instead of chasing the treasure that belonged to ghosts. Things that I knew would make finding a shipwreck much easier than before...
     Enough daydreaming. Just because I could find it didn't mean I would.
     “I've got something I think you should see,” Callum James, my best friend and shipwreck authority, had texted along with a photograph of a map of the Keys. “I think I found a solid lead on La Noche Estrellada.”
     La Noche Estrellada.
     It was as elusive as the lost city of Atlantis and even more intriguing as far as I was concerned. The so-called lost ship of a Spanish fleet that went missing almost three hundred years ago. The ship that only a few people even knew about and had never been mentioned in any history book. I still wasn't convinced, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn’t a tiny bit curious to explore the idea. After that text message, I hadn't been able to close my eyes without seeing that map... and her face.
     Daniella.
     The one who'd put the notion of La Noche Estrellada in my head in the first place.
     I was nineteen when my father had hired her fresh off getting her diving certification to work on our boat. It was the closest thing to love at first sight I'd ever experienced. Her long dark hair and almond-shaped greenish gold eyes coupled with the body of a sea goddess, and spouting stories of lost treasure with so much enthusiasm that anyone within earshot believed every word she said was true. Seeing her for the first time is what I imagined finding a centuries-old treasure at the bottom of the ocean would feel like. I'd found lots of things underwater, but none of them were ever worth much. Hurricane ravaged and owner error sunken fishing boats were the main hauls of our operation. Finding Dani was like finding the entire contents of the ocean floor in one well-kept, long, lean, and sexy package.
     “I'll think about it,” I'd texted back to Cal. It wasn't like we didn't have the money to take a couple months off and explore the idea of La Noche Estrellada. I'd been good about saving and the work had been steady. I hadn't told Minx about what Cal had sent me. I could just imagine the excitement in her eyes when--if—I did. It wasn't that long ago that Dani was filling my sister's head with a tale of forbidden love and a boat full of gold, silver, and jewels.
     I fell down onto my bed with a sigh. Minx getting excited about the possibility of the mystery ship wasn't the only problem. I knew that going after it meant something else. It meant I'd have to see Daniella again. I couldn't very well go find a boat that she'd believed to be real and not give her the option to join us. An option that I wasn't sure she'd even accept.
     The last time I'd seen her, things hadn't went smoothly. Let's just say she wasn't exactly kosher with the idea of me taking The Spindrift north. But it was my boat and it was my decision. If she didn't want to come with me—if what we had wasn't worth giving up the island life for—then that was on her.
     She’d stayed to chase treasure and I’d moved on.
