Peachy Keen by Kate Roth is Now Available & Reviewed

Georgia Trenton has always been lucky in lust but hasn’t ever been interested in love. She prefers quickies to courtships, never seeing the need for more than just sex.

Years of listening to her best friend Danielle’s relationship woes had assured her she was right to avoid romance altogether. But ever since Dani returned from vacation in love and looking like the poster girl for happily ever after, Georgia has been questioning her wild ways and thinking about the future.

In an attempt to forget about the uncertainties that plague her and escape the constant symphony of sex noises coming through the walls of her apartment thanks to Evan and Danielle, Georgia jets off to Desire Resort & Spa hoping to enjoy the rowdy vacation hotspot the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

No strings attached. No commitments. And with one sexy stranger…no names.

But when strings appear, complicating what was supposed to be a carefree getaway, and commitment suddenly doesn’t sound as bad as it used to, Georgia finds herself wondering if lust is really enough.

Shannan – ☆☆☆☆
Peachy Keen is a fun, carefree sweet love story. It is book number three in the Desire Resort series. It can be read as a standalone, but does make small mentions to book number two.

Desire Resort and Spa is that place where you can be whoever you want to be, have fun, and live it up. No expectations. Make all your deepest darkest desires come true. When Georgia decided she needed a break from being the third wheel, constantly overhearing Danielle and Evan's (from Last Resort book #2) sex life. She tells everyone she is off to visit family, keeping her real destination a secret. When she sees Mr. Tall, dark, bearded and sexy she has no idea that the no-strings carefree week she had planned is about to have strings, lots and lots of strings.

“I just came here for some fun. The no strings attached kind. And this...this is all kinds of tangled up in strings.”

Peachy Keen is a quick fun book. I do enjoy the series and the lightheartedness of the writing. It's fun, it's sexy, it's romantic, it really is a cute read. I look forward to more from Ms. Roth.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This lovely story is a sequel to Last Resort and Best Laid Plans, but the lead characters are now Evan and Danielle's best friends. We do get to see the previous couple and learn more of their story, but the focus is firmly on their friends. Georgia, who persuaded Dani to go to Desire in the first place, is sick of hearing her and Evan enjoying themselves and escapes there for some proper unfettered fun. However things may not turn out quite how she expected...

Having read the previous two books, I was delighted to read another in the series, as Ms. Roth has a very engaging way of telling a story. It was fun to watch Georgia getting well and truly hooked, even though she really had no intention of getting involved. Harrison was such a lovely character and definitely a wonderful person to have as a best friend. That the two of them had some seriously explosive chemistry, made it a hot as well as romantic read.

This was perfect escapism, thank you Ms. Roth. (ps I am betting that I will be saying 'peachy' myself all week!)


Rachael – ☆☆☆☆☆
I have to say that I wasn't sure I was going to like this book because of the cover and the name... but having loved the first book, I figured I'd give it a shot... And I'm more than glad I did.

I LOVED this book. Georgia is the fun loving, wild girl, but the more we learn about her the more we see there is really a lot more going on than initially meets the eye.

The stranger who draws her eye the first night she is at Desire is HOT, even if he is a bit geeky. Boy oh boy is he perfect for Georgia even if she doesn't know his name and he doesn't know hers.

Since I don't want to give away who this lovely man is and where their story goes... I will say that once again Kate Roth blew my socks off with an awesome story with excellently developed characters. I can't wait for more from her.

Cover Reveal – Mistletoe & Hollywood by Natasha Boyd & Kate Roth

Jack Eversea and Evan Weston, two of Hollywood's hottest young actors had their hearts stolen by regular down to earth girls, and we lived and laughed and loved their stories in the Eversea Series and in the Desire Resort Series. But what happened when the books were over?

How did each couple choose to spend their first Christmas? Was it sexy, emotional, stressful or heartwarming?

Perhaps it was everything and more. Let's find out!

Mistletoe & Hollywood is a bundled duet featuring:

Evan and Dani's first Christmas in
Many Times, Many Ways (A Desire Resort novella) 
by Kate Roth.

Vacation is over.

Danielle was escaping her monotonous life at a sexy beach resort when she first fell under the spell of Hollywood hunk, Evan Weston, but now they’re trying to make their relationship work in the real world.

While they’re both hopeful for what lies ahead, the only question is whether or not their desires for the future are one and the same.

Things have always moved quickly between Evan and Danielle, but Danielle can’t stave off the lingering anxiety she has once she finds out about Evan’s big plans—and even bigger Christmas gift. Can she continue to let go of the worry that plagues her so the man of her dreams can give her the life she never imagined she’d have?

AND

Jack and Keri Ann's first Christmas in
My Star, My Love (An Eversea Series novella)
by Natasha Boyd

Movie star, Jack Eversea, has decided to brave his history with England and take the love of his life, Keri Ann Butler, home to meet his mother for Christmas.  He’s been back in California and Keri Ann’s been busy with art school, and they are desperate to spend three weeks together over the Holidays.

But Jolly Old England does weird things to Jack. And despite his super sweet “twelve days of Christmas” gift giving, Keri Ann can’t quite work out of he’s about to propose or regrets bringing her home.  Is he still questioning whether she can handle a few paparazzi, or is he doubting Keri Ann’s commitment to their future?

The magnetic couple is back in a fun, sometimes poignant, and super sexy story about acceptance, love and how to make love quietly in a creaky old house with one’s mother down the hall.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the continuation of the story told in Last Resort. It is necessary to read them in order to understand the plot, and you'd be missing a good read if you didn't!

At the end of the last book, we were left wondering whether she would accept Evan's offer of more than just the week. And as flighty as Danielle is, she still finds the idea hard to resist, however she is definitely worried about her heart. Although we soon learn the significance of Evan's tattoo, Danielle has a longer wait. She certainly made up for lost time now that the spark had been lit! Their chemistry was undeniable.

I really enjoyed this second installment and there was enough suspense and drama to stop it from being too sweet.


Angie – ☆☆☆☆☆
This is the final book in the Desire series, you must read book #1 Last Resort before you read Best Laid Plans. Best Laid Plans picks up right where Last Resort ended. We find out if Dani decides to stay for the extra week with Evan. Evan and Dani learn more about each other not just on a physical level. Just like the first book there is a lot of sex, lots of sassiness and a little angst. I loved this couple and their story and I was sad to see it end.

Characters: You can’t help but love each and every one of the characters.
Sex: Oh yeah
Religious: No
Would I recommend to others: Yes
More than one book in the series: Yes
Genre: Romance
Would I read more by this author: Yes


Shelby – ☆☆☆☆
I really enjoyed Last Resort, and this story picked up where that left off.

Danielle and Evan are embarking in uncharted territory, and we get to see how it plays out.

This was FULL of sexy action, sweet romance, and it had a tiny bit of angst.

It was a sweet, quick read that successfully wrapped up the series.


Shannan – ☆☆☆☆☆
4.5 Stars

Best Laid Plans picks up where Last Resort ends. I feel like you see more perspective from Evan Weston's POV, which I loved. This was a sweet love story and a great finish to this series.

Evan is the hot hunky actor that is a regular at Desire Resort and Spa. His reputation for being a player proceeds him. When he first sees Danielle, his heart skips a beat. When she agrees to stay for one more week with him, he's ecstatic that he can spend more time with her. He's not used to this feeling, wanting to be with someone more than one night. Can he convince her he's not that same guy she met on day 1? Can one mistake make whatever they have between them crumble? Is what they have between them even real or just vacation love?

If you are debating on reading this one, you absolutely should! It is a quick read that you can fit in anywhere during your day.


Rachael – ☆☆☆☆☆
Whew... The conclusion to a great story... I absolutely loved every single page of this novella. It was so great. We got to see the other side of Evan and just what nasty little rumors can do to someone in a celebrity’s life.

Oh I could go on and on, but I really don't want to reveal any secrets from the story. It was great. Evan was great as we saw him open up and saw underneath his celebrity exterior. Dani was so real I felt my heart break for her when things got crazy.

Super sweet, super sexy. Great conclusion even though I still want more of Evan and Dani, I'm happy with the way it all wrapped up.

Last Resort by Kate Roth Review Tour

Danielle Ward hasn’t had sex in six years. Sure, she’s been on dates. She even has a boyfriend, but it seems something is always getting in the way when it comes to doing the deed.

After her boyfriend finally loses his patience and leaves her to drown her sorrows, her best friend Georgia comes up with a plan that becomes more and more brilliant with each shot of tequila.

Book a non-refundable solo trip to an adults-only resort with the intention of getting laid.

The beach is picturesque, her room is luxurious, the alcohol is included … and Danielle can’t wait to get the hell out of there the second she checks in. That is, until an uninvited kiss from drunken hotel guest and Hollywood hottie Evan Weston. Once Evan discovers the reason for Danielle’s vacation, he won’t let up in his pursuit to be the one to solve her problem.

Caught between her desire for a fresh start and the preposterous idea of having a fling with her celebrity crush, Danielle decides it’s time to throw caution to the wind and her panties to the floor.

But it’s never just sex, is it? And Evan Weston isn’t just any man. He isn’t just a movie star.

Evan Weston is Danielle’s last resort.

A brunette a few barstools down from me in a neon green one-piece that had square holes cut out up her ribs giggled. She tucked one side of her short, angular bob behind her ear. “I swear I saw him,” she whispered to her friend, a skinny blonde with a tattoo of a rose on her lower back.

I swallowed a gulp of my icy drink and continued to listen to their conversation.

“I’ve heard he comes here sometimes, but isn’t he dating that model? Miranda something?” Tramp Stamp replied.

The brunette shook her head. “No, he was married to Kimberly Jackson. He dates just about anything with tits, usually models, but he hasn’t been linked to anyone in months.”

The blonde chirped a laugh. “Stalk much?”

“I’ll freely admit that I keep tabs on Evan Weston. And if he happens to be staying here, my stalking could get me the ultimate hookup.”

The two friends swatted at each other playfully and laughed before strutting over to the pool. Evan Weston. My mouth went dry. No fucking way.

Because of my lack of experience one might think I also lacked fantasies, but it was quite the opposite. I might’ve been locked up tighter than the president’s panic room, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t get down to business with myself. I mean, a girl’s gotta fall asleep. I knew what an orgasm felt like thanks to my battery operated pals and I knew what kinds of things turned me on. Dirty dreams came to me every now and then and I had a number of books on my e-reader that I wouldn’t show my grandmother. I used to think that was how I could loosen up for my boyfriends—for Kyle. Read something sexy, have a glass of wine and then voila! Presto-sex-o!

Nope. My logical brain was too many steps ahead of me every time I tried to trick my anxiety away. Kyle wasn’t the hero. He wasn’t the sexy, gruff alpha male written on the page and he wasn’t one of the celebrity crushes I conjured up in my mind on the nights I felt so frustrated I thought I would explode.

But Evan Weston was.

Danielle hasn’t had much luck in the sex department in YEARS. After her last boyfriend dumped her she ended up drinking too much and booking a nonrefundable trip to an adult only resort. Regretting the trip as soon as she gets there, she decides to muddle through it and at least drink and soak up the sun and along the way she meets a sweet couple who takes her under their wing. A drunken kiss with a well-known celebrity changes everything. Evan remembers the girl he kissed when he was drunk, seeks her out and after finding out why Danielle is really at the resort, he wants to make sure he is the one to help her with her issues. This is Evan’s LAST visit to the resort and this is Danielle’s LAST resort, they have a wonderful adventurous stay but will it end or will it LAST? Can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!

Shelby – ☆☆☆☆
Last Resort was a light-hearted, sexy, entertaining read!
What would you do if, while on vacation at a SEX resort, you saw a famous heartthrob??
Well, that's EXACTLY what has happened to Danielle. She's decided it's time for a break and needs a relaxing vacation (well, maybe alcohol was involved in this decision) and just be away from the world. She needs a break from any and all pressures of sex, she's not exactly enthused to be at a couple's only sex resort - but it is in a tropical location and luxurious!
Evan is a very well-known actor, and is visiting the resort for his "last" time, but his reputation precedes him.
Could it be true that each person has their perfect counter-balance out there? Is it possible to find your other half at a Sex Resort?
I really enjoyed this book, I read it one sitting! The chemistry is great, the characters are like-able, and the STEAM is off the charts.
I need to know what happens!!!


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
Hey, that was unexpected! There is another book to come and we are left a little bit hanging...

Really enjoyed the story; the coupling was steamy and the location sounded perfect. In fact sign me up for the resort, please. I just hope there is not a long wait until the next book as I am invested in these two and need to know what happens next ...

Back to your writing Ms. Roth, and press publish as soon as possible!


Shannan – ☆☆☆☆
Adults only Desire Resort and Spa is a sex resort where all of your fantasies can come true if you choose to participate in those activities.

Danielle Ward was feeling horrible about herself. Not having sex since she lost her virginity six years earlier. She has dated and men have tried but something always seemed to stop her from going all the way. Thinking there was something wrong with her after the last boyfriend dumped her she found herself alone at Desire Resort and Spa trying to change her life and her attitude toward sex.

Evan Weston is the hottest playboy actor in Hollywood to date. He always has a different model on his arm. He was looking for one last woman at Desire Resort and then he wouldn't be back, he is changing his ways.

Evan and Danielle have a chance meeting in the hallway. Where will that take them when she leaves in a few days?

This was a good read, I read it in one sitting at an amusement park while my kids rode and while I waited in an hour long line for pizza. :) I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to see where the story goes in Best Laid Plans!


Rachael – ☆☆☆☆
Danielle goes on a vacation to help heal a broken heart. To her surprise, she meets the most delicious male actor, Evan Weston. And boy does he help her get over her ex.

I found this story to be quite amusing and sexy... Much more than I thought it was going to be based on the cover.

Evan is sexy and hot and I absolutely loved him... Although at times I felt like there might be something going on behind the scenes, but maybe that's cause I don't trust book boyfriends to be what they say they are.

Danielle finds that going on vacation was more than getting over her ex. It was about finding herself. She was great learning about herself and the woman she had become after breaking down the wall she hid behind.

Overall a quick read, while I didn't find anything suspenseful, I did find myself flipping pages quickly to see what Danielle was going to do... and Evan too.

I can't wait to find out what her answer is…

And a cliffy here, but not a bite your nails, pull out your hair one. But you will need to pick up the next book to find out where things go.
