I flip-flopped between 2 or 3 stars. I really liked the way this was written. It really got the feelings across and had some really good steamy scenes, but towards the end I wasn't feeling it anymore. I think this is an opinionated thing, but I don't much care for more than two participants. And four seemed a little overload. The writers did really well writing though and if this was an erotic with just two it would have been a dynamite book, even if it was a shorter book. So three for the actua...more
If you do not mind erotica then Exotic Indulgence is a okay read. This book is the combined work of three different authors. Kylie is the manager of Bandicoot Cove and is getting ready for a 'soft' opening at the resort Bandicoot Cove and is a bit stressed out over it.
The story line, if you can call it one, is basically sex between a Kylie and three men, which work with/for her, and in which she is in love with each one of them. Even though the scenes are short I will admit they are a bit steamy...more

Not bad for a smutty, fantasy read--just don't expect a whole lot of plot or character development.
Kylie's the manager of an exclusive, 5-star luxury resort (Bandicoot Cove) set to open soon on Bilby Island (Australia). Despite being swamped with work and under the gun, she's managed to carry on 3 sexual relationships with three of the resort's employees (none directly under her supervision, natch). Darkly sexy, blue-eyed Brad (who I think has something to do with the resort's harbor?) is her or...more

What’s better than her dream job? Being with three gorgeous men who want to pleasure her beyond reason. She cannot possibly choose between her three lovers since she has broken the first cardinal sin of casual dating…she fell in love with all three.

This book is a quickie.
It’s hot and steamy. It’s sexy and thrilling. It’s fast and … predictable. What more can you ask for of an erotica book? Everything
But as quickies go, this book wasn’t too bad.
Lonely manager screws and falls in love with three men who work for her.
She has one meeting with dude #1, has an orgasm. She has another meeting with dude#2, has an orgasm. She has another meeting with dude #3, what’s that again? Oh .. another orgasm.

This is a mini-review of Exotic Indulgence, a very short, extremely sexually explicit Samhain free read written by Vivian Arend, Lexxie Couper and Jess Dee as an introduction to their Bandicoot Cove Series. Bandicoot Cove is a new ultra luxury resort situated on Bilby Island in Australia.

This is a free read to introduce us to a new trilogy titled Bandicoot Cove, perhaps seduce would be a better word. This first free read is entitled Exotic Indulgence and I must say it is definitely a sensual/sexy indulgence, but it is not for the faint at heart, so if you don’t care for multiple partners this is definitely not for you.

Kylie is a very busy girl with a lot on her plate right now. She is the manager in charge of opening a new resort in a few weeks to the public and a is currently working on the soft opening for VIP guests, that along with the trouble of three hot men.
Kylie knows it's wrong to lead them on, but she can't seem to choose between Brad - her hands on man, Hemi - the tattooed Maori SCUBA instructor, or Brad the sexy bartender. What's a girl to do when she is head over heels for three sexy men at the s...more

Kylie is having a having rather a stressful week. In-between setting up the brand-new, exclusive Bandicoot Cove resort for a “soft” opening, she has to contend with her feelings for the three separate men she is sleeping with on the Island.

Exotic Indulgence is a very quick read. At only four chapters long, you can't expect there to be too much of a story. Kylie is the manager of Bandicoot Cove and is in love with three men who work along side her. She can't choose between them and decides to have them all.
Due to the shortness of this book, there isn't time to delve too deeply into each character. The main focus is the sex between a female and three males, even though the scenes are short some parts are hot and steamy.

Great start to the series and you can't go wrong with it being a free book. I loved Kylie. A strong independent woman having a fantastic time with three men. Sure they each said they didn't mind her seeing the others. But in the back of her mind she had to wonder.
You get the idea all of the men love Kylie and she loves them back. But what I really enjoyed was how it was the beginning of the relationship. Knowing they were just starting out on the path to finding out if the four of them are going...more

Definitely on the sexy side, this was a nice introduction to the upcoming Bandicoot Cove series. Seeing as how I like menage books and I like books where good things happen to the main characters, this novella ended up being a win/win situation for me.
All three of Kylie's men are sexy, hot, hot, and hot. Also, they all appear to be extraordinarily gifted with their tongues and/or fingers. I appreciate that in main men. Kylie enjoys each of her men for the *ahem* joy they bring to her life. She c...more

I think this short story accomplishes what it has set out to achieve. In my opinion it’s a story to get your motor running. Say for instance if you had a guy who didn’t know the meaning of foreplay – this is the sort of book you would read to crank your own engine. It doesn’t have a huge amount of story line and this is little time at all to build a connection between the characters – but there is a whole heap of sex.
Totally random, naughty sex.

Our heroine is a woman who has worked extra hard to rise to the top of the shark pile within the hospitality/resort management world and has now come to the pinacle of her career. One problem: she is in love with three hunky guys, all of whom work for her and all of whom love her deeply. She has been dating all three for months and is crushed at the thought of choosing one over the other two. Well, you guessed it, it is a menage tale and lots of fun and hot loving in the bargain. This is an intr...more
A super short read, an introduction into the Bandicoot Cove series, written by 3 different authors. I'm definitely a fan of chick lit and certainly enjoy a good raunchy read every now and then but this dove straight into the thick of it which was a little off putting. Apparently I like a story, I like to get invested in the characters before they romp around, a little bit of a build up, if you will. I felt like this story was too contrived, too forced for me to actually enjoy even though it is,...more
This is a free read, and an introduction book to the Bandicoot Cove Series. Bandicoot Cove is a new ultra luxury resort situated on Bilby Island in Australia. Kylie is the resort manager, and a little rushed off her feet. Yet she finds time to indulgence in casual sex relationships with three different guys...HOT guys might I add. Which, of course, leads to a foursome. But by the time the story led me to the foursome ,I'd already come to the conclusion that Kylie was putting it out a bit. I'll g...more
A very short story with a couple of teaser's to tempt you to read the series. The sex scenes were good which was a blessing 'cause they took up about 80% of the word count! No serious character development. Immature story line. I expected it to be a dream sequence as the characters were too perfect to be taken seriously. If you want to leave reality at the door & spend 30 minutes in fantasy land then this is the short story for you. I don't think I will bother buying the series.

Random clicking in the Library2Go ended up with this download. I wonder what the heck I was actually looking for... Anyway, it's a quick little titillation. Does it reflect poorly on my libido that I get distracted by the logistics of the encounter rather than swept up in the passion of the moment? I can only suspend disbelief (and the laws of physics) so much.
I'd give it a "meh" for the action and the plot/characters are exactly what you would expect.

I like Jess Dee's books and this was the reason I read this short story. Can't say this is one of my favourite erotic romance reads and even though it's a short story, I found that there was not much character development and the plot...well, there's not much of that either...a girl who has three gorgeous men panting with lust for her....wow...it's more than a menage here.
Sex scenes were pretty hot but overhaul, it failed to grab me.

I really enjoyed this short novella. It was hot and sexy and left you wanting more! I really want to work at this resort if all the men are this hot and this open and willing!! This was my first book read by these authors and I was pretty amazed how fluid the book was given that it has 3 authors! I will definitely be picking up more from all 3 of them since the writing was great, and the sex was fantastic.
Normally I don't review short-stories, but I decided to make an exception.
This is exactly what the cover says a sizzling short story set in Australia. This is a co-authored story, and it shows a couple of times. The relationship between Kylie and her men feels rushed, like they feel have to convince her before the resort opens. Still, it is sizzling, short read that it is a great lunch read.

I don't think I'd normally find this particular type of 'fun' enjoyable in any sense but this was actually a fun read. Don't go into this expect tons of back story on any of the characters because you won't get it but this does give a bit of a plot for Kylie and you can easily picture the beautiful resort. It is really short though and I don't think I would have minded this being longer at all.
Yawn… This short story just did not work for me. It seemed forced. And the internal monolog was oppressive. The characters are juvenile. Especially Kylie. Who, by page 3, was already TSTL. And across 3 authors, she never improved. Even the sex was lame. This short story had so much potential, but the ball was dropped before it even made it out of the factory.
I really dislike DNFing books. I was able to make it partway through chapter 3. The only thing that makes this easier, is the fact that it...more

The steamy scenes of this book were really good however I have a few issues with this book. The story was too short and the ending was unrealistic. Everything happened too quickly and in a days time. A three-some would have been ok but a four-some was a bit much. I gave this book three stars only because of the erotica scenes.
This is a quick erotica read, but not really much more than a few scenes and an intro to Bandicoot Cove, featured in Tropical Desires.
Kylie gets a little one-on-one time with the 3 men she's dating, then they all surprise her.

Another foray into the world of erotica, and another less than great result. This one has the sexy stuff, but lacks any real depth of character or engaging plot.
This made it feel like a retelling of one person's sexual fantasy dream, rather than a fully developed story.
I'm starting to think that me and erotica aren't cut out for each other, which in itself feels like a strange thing for me to say!

This would not make me want to continue the series. I got it because I really like the individual authors, but I don't think this was a good representation of their skill. I just felt like so much was missing! It was very short, and I didn't get a feel for the personalities of Brad or Hemi or Finn, beyond that they were drop-dead gorgeous and they all wanted Kylie. There wasn't really any pre-story about how she met up with them or the dynamics of their relationship(s). It was just screw all of...more
