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 o...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 wee...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 insi...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 Alexand...more

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!

The cover art shows some palm trees and some moody, t...more

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.

If you are just looking for ...more

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 ove...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 se...more

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

On her first day visiting a luxury beach resort to determine if it would be a good investment for her boss, dowdy Wendy (one-piece Wendy, I called her)sees White Bikini Babe strolling in the sand, collecting her due idolation for her perfect body and perfect hair and perfect beauty and perfect confidence. Wendy journals to herself, wondering what it would be like to BE WBB? ...more

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.

In this book, our heroine Wendy is sent by her investor boss to evaluate a Florida resort community. While there, Wendy decides she wants to be as sexually conf...more

My first time reading this author writing as Lacey Alexander. The book was much more descriptive than her Blake novels but still had a great story line. There were a few pages of this book that were "whoa" moments for me--- but overall, I really liked it. It is definitely HOT and steamy. It left me wanting my own Brandon.
Jill Sorenson
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.
luv2reed
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.
Alycia
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!

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!
Kathleen
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. :-)

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.

Lacey Alexander always delivers when you're in the mood for some seriously down and dirty erotica! Whew! The sex in this one is classic LA... it is H O T! But my favorite of hers is still Seven Nights of Sin. This one is very similar and if I'd read it first I may have given it 5 stars, but to me it's just not quite as good.
