This is the first book I have read by this author. I really liked it, I admit I had some problems with it, but otherwise it was a good, very light read for me.
It's not an overly original story. Girl marries boy, boy's brother loves girl, boy cheats on girl (at their wedding reception) and brother gets girl.
My problem with the story was the heroine. To me she gets married...well to be married. She is not the most intelligent of heroines, she comes across wishy-washy and too flight More...

This is a first-read of this author and I was very pleased. The plot is not too intense and the premise is not a new one (guy wants the girl who marries his brother), but the pacing and tone with which Alden tells the story makes it an enjoyable afternoon's entertainment.
Initially, the heroine, Julie, doesn't seem overly bright. She's marrying a man who is a jerk and she knows it. But that's probably more like real life than not. She does show her grit early on and Alden does a credi More...

This is a very steamy book that I absolutley adored. Any woman could completely relate to this book. Hilarious at times, I've even laughed out loud. Oddly enough, there is also a twisted version of suspense included.

I don't really know why, but this book just didn't do it for me. The sex could have been hot, but I didn't feel the chemistry between hero and heroine.
Julie was awful, and I hated how she tried to make Chris believe that she just wanted sex- dishonest and stupid. The miscommunication between them was there from the beginning and got on my nerves before I reached the middle of the book.
Personally, I found that condom-business irritating...I always think: isn't there a way around it in More...

Ok I read this series out of order the 3rd book was only 99cents.
This book jumps right into action when Julie (bride) finds Brian (groom) in the broom closet cheating on her at their wedding reception! She finds "comfort" in the arms of his sexier, younger, black-sheep brother (Chris)...then he returns home to the Caribbean.
Their relationship returns when she head o his resort to get away for the scandal of her wedding aftermath.

A lightweight and pleasant erotic romance. Nothing kinky. Just vanilla sex and lots of it.
It gets points for quoting the movie The Princess Bride. It also gets points off for the excessive product placement (a pet peeve of mine).
For all you Size Queens out there, this features a 9-incher ;-)

I liked this story I like Julie and how she stood up to her father, her ex Brian what a Dush bag he is disgusting. Chris was such a sweet guy liked him. The story was a good read for me. Julie's friend Wendy I'm wondering if there is a story for her.

I really enjoyed the book up until the last 75 pages or so, the love scenes were VERY steamy but got repetetive towards the end...I mean these people were doing it like 5x a day everyday! I'm surprised they didn't drop dead from sheer exhaustion. Also the ending seemed very rushed the whole "conflict" of them not being able to be together took 20 pages max to wrap up before they decided they couldn't live another minute without eachother.

A fun sexy romance. I really enjoyed this book, even though it is full with steamy encounters surprisingly the plot is actually good and it draws you in from the beginning. A recommended book for steamy romance lovers.

This was a quick, easy read. The plot isn't too complicated. Girl marries boy, finds boy boinking someone else during their reception, so girl then goes after boy's brother. The characters aren't too complex and the sex is pretty hot.

It was a very interesting book. I gave it to some friends and they enjoyed reading it as well.

Started off as a bride getting revenge on her philandering groom by sleeping with his brother/best man on the wedding night. As you read, the story really develops into a story of reunited friends that turns to lovers. Of course, the story is hot, hot, hot, but I loved that there was more to it than the love scenes. B rating.

Pretty good read. It's more a romance novel with steamy scenes than erotica, but I can appreciate a good romance novel any day. The main guy - very hot. Set on a tropical beach, who doesn't love to fantasize about being there while reading? So pretty good!
