While on business on Florida's gorgeous Emerald Coast, Wendy Carnes spots a woman who unknowingly changes her life. "White Bikini Babe" is the personification of sex, clearly ready for action.

There's no question that The Bikini Diaries is a scorcher of a book--probably the hottest book in terms of sexual activity that I've read in a long, long time. But at times I felt that it was maybe too much of a good thing--there were moments when I thought "Okay, what haven't these two done yet?"--that I started to get a tad bored--it was a little sexual overload for my tastes. But boy oh boy, the scenes were explicit, graphic, some might say a little crude, and this is definitely one book wher...more
Hmmm... What do I think?
This book was steamy mentally and physical. I thought all the steamy sex was never gonna end. Thank Goodness it did, because it was a lot to handle.
The couple in this book Wendy & Brandon are very daring. Wendy wants to let loose and prove to herself she can be just like many pretty woman who flaunt themselves and love the thought of men/women who eye them & make them feel sexy. So Wendy wanting to try something new for a change gets curious for a week while away...more

If I could give this book 4.5 stars, I would. I thought at first the character development was a little shallow, but I was wrong. The author gives you a very indepth view of Wendy. I think she feels what most women feel. We perceive ourselves in a certain way and that is how the world sees us.
Wendy is somewhat of a wallflower who feels that if she can transform herself into a wanton sex goddess she will be happy. In the end she just really needed someone to bring out what was already inside her...more

This was probably a 3.5 star read for me. I really read it rather quickly, and unlike other books in this genre I found it had a lot more depth to it. I liked the entries into her diary where she was questioning who she was and what her actions were doing to her. I found that really realistic. It was a very very hot book, however, as I read more and more in erotica I find that I want my erotica without a menage. I have a hard time equating that action with romance. I'm a woman in love and I don'...more
I don't know where to start. All I know is the novel would soak the girls' panties and tent guys' shorts. Extremely hot, carnal, everything one could expect - you name it, they did it. Don't forget, it's hedonistic like all her other novels.
I'm constantly amazed how each novel, while having the same formula (short-time romance, 90% scorching hot sex, insecure heroine, hot guy, self-exploration, heroine gets to lose her inhibitions, conflict, the make-up, happily ever after), Ms Alexander manages...more

So, I’m fairly certain that Lacey Alexander is my new favorite smut author.
Holy smut on a stick.
Wendy is on assignment in Florida to evaluate a set of resort buildings for her boss. While laying out on the resort’s beach, she’s taken aback by this woman in a white bikini. She finds this woman completely confident, epitomizing sexy and lust and just like that…she wants to be her.

The best part of this novel was the cover. Now, don't take that to mean that the book was awful. It was okay, with a great hook that felt sloppily executed to me...largely because I couldn't wrap my brain around the protagonist's characterization; she was almost like me, but then completely incomprehensible.
That's all irrelevant.
I want to talk about the cover, designed by Peter Kang, because it is brilliant!

Hands up if you ever have makeover before a summer holiday to an exotic place? oh, there's a lot of you there :D
the great thing about this story is that you could relate to the main character some way or the other, and the hero is not bad in the eyes either, what more could the girl ask for?
heroine is send by her company to review a resort they would possibly sponsoring. While there, she have a little inspiration from the beach which make her to a more vamped character.

Lacey Alexander is my favorite guilty pleasure author. For me, there is no one who writes a hotter romance, and this book did not disappoint. While on a work trip to a fancy beach resort, Wendy decides to let go and lose all the inhibitions that have held her back. She meets Brandon, and they strike up a white-hot love affair, which gets more and more complicated as their lives are suddenly entwined in ways they couldn't imagine and as they find themselves falling deeper for each other.

There's no doubt that this was a hot book. I definitely was fanning my face throughout, but I had a little trouble with the storyline. There was almost TOO much sex in comparison to the story. Now don't get me wrong, I like reading erotic romances, but I also like a little bit of something besides sex from one scene to the next. So while I enjoyed this book, I think it would have been even better if there had been a stronger plot line than what there was.

Lacey Alexander is my guilty pleasure. I really liked this book though it went beyond crude at times. While it actually seemed to have a real story, I agree with some of the other reviewers who state that it had too much of a good thing. And here is my real issue with the book: There's Wendy who is doing an experiment. Repressed and basically unsexual Wendy. Suddenly she is willing to try and do anything and anyone without really a second thought. Oh she has momentary thoughts and then gets over...more
i loved the sexual awakening aspect of this story. it seems to be an ongoing theme in Lacey Alexander's stories. she does it well, and the sex scenes are very well done. she knows how to titillate without getting too raunchy. it's a very fine line in erotica, imho. this is the 2nd book i've read from her in the same week and i see how much she's grown as a writer.
i'll be looking for more from this author.

Erotica. But an easy one if you aren't too into the genre. Wonderful love story with HEA. one F/f scene (with dates as voyers). one M/f/m scene. A couple of anal scenes.
There is a lot of sex, clearly. That beind said it is way more of a character story. Wendy is sent to evaluate a resort as an investment property. On her first day she sees a woman strut the beach in a white bikini. Guys swoon. Girls swoon....Wendy swoons. She wonders what it would be like to be this woman, so she seizes the opp...more

Holy cow! I thought I had read an erotic novel before, but boy was I wrong! This was hot! hot! hot!
The story begins with a woman named Wendy who is on a business trip-sitting at the pool doing her paperwork when she spots this hot babe sporting a teeny weeny white string bikini and she feels a stab of jealously at the imagined life this woman must have. As a results she decides that she has nothing to lose by reinventing herself--even if only temporarily, because what happens at the resort, stay...more

I bought this book because Lacey Alexander writes such cool HOT books, but this one also taught me a lesson.

This book is erotica, so if that's not your thing, stop reading.
Lacey Alexander does a great job of writing kinky romantica - I'd put her right after Emma Holly on my favorites list for this kind of book. There's always a happily-ever-after, the character development is believable, and the sex scenes are very hot.

Started off great, ended up so-so. I enjoyed the fantasy element and the romantic relationship in What She Needs but didn't buy into either in The Bikini Diaries. Lots of silly/overdone sex talk. He calls her "bunny," for example. It was all just a little too much.
I would give this a 3.5. The sex scenes were plentiful and smokin' hot and it had an interesting story premise and an hea. I"m not sure what it was but while I really liked the Brandon character, something about Wendy just didn't capture me so I couldn't really lose myself in her character hence the hesitation to give it 4 stars. Will certainly try another Lacey Alexander read though.
don't really know why I picked up this book but i didn't konow it would be sooooo mature. i probably shouldn't have read it and that is why i didn't like it but i'm sure it would have been better if i was really into reading erotica instead of romances.
Loved this book, I couldn't put it down! I had to keep reading just to find out what happened next and what "trouble" this couple could get into. I am now a big fan of Alexander! I would recommend this to anyone who loves a good sexy steamy story!
This is erotic romance, and my expectations are guided by that fact. Sure it is contrived, sure people are too perfect. That said, this is really very good. The story is cohesive, the writing is good, the lead character is appealing, and the sex is hot. And of course there is a a happy ending since this is a romance. Recommended.
Holy Crap!...yep, that's my review. I can't type, because my fingers were singed on the pages of the book, eyes are still smoldering, so I can barely see, and my brain is about to explode from sex over load!
I Loved this book. It was a quick easy read that had me interested all the way through. Let me tell you it was SCORCHING HOT!!!! The hero was so darn YUMMY! The story was really cute and nicely done. There was some really kinky sex, just a small hint, cucumber, lol!. The ending made me sigh and I closed the book with a smile on my face.

Plenty of heat in this. I was blushing many times. Good for the beach or a vacation. I was reading just sex scenes for about 1 hour. This book is a very guilty pleasure. Keep out of reach from children and perhaps the hubby too. :-)
Interesting idea well developed. Lacey Alexander (aka Toni Blake) has excellent technique. I prefer his works as T.B. though.
It was a guilty pleasure. I just loved how smutty it was :) will probably read her other books as "Fluff" for fun!
Stopped halfway through the book...this is die hard erotica and while that's great I expected a little more of a story too.
