She'd never had hate sex before, but she'd never really hated anyone on sight either. She couldn't explain how their alchemy worked if someone asked, but she didn't care. All she knew was that she had to have him.

Carla's in Cuba to lick her wounds. After molding herself to become the perfect Stepford wife, her boring, blue collar, khaki wearing fiance has dumped her and she feels lost. Having spent her life completely wrapped up in appearances, she doesn't know what to d ...more

4.5 stars. This was by far my favorite of the 3 books in the series. I love a pouty man bear hero, and that's exactly what I got in Jonah.

Carla Hernandez has escaped from her life in Miami, and her high profile break-up with her fiance, to visit her Great Aunt Lola in Cuba. She needed time to lick her wounds and decompress in peace. She also has ideas of sprucing up Lola's old grand home, so that when she rents to boarders, she can charge more money. She has no idea she'll meet and take an insta 4.5 stars. This was by far my favorite of the 3 books in the series. I love a pouty man bear hero, and that's exactly what I got in Jonah.

Carla Hernandez has escaped from her life in Miami, and her high profile break-up with her fiance, to visit her Great Aunt Lola in Cuba. She needed time to lick her wounds and decompress in peace. She also has ideas of sprucing up Lola's old grand home, so that when she rents to boarders, she can charge more money. She has no idea she'll meet and take an instant dislike of, and yet attraction to, her Tia's favorite boarder, Jonah Kane.

Jonah is big man. He's also a semi-famous photojournalist, and he's having a little R&R time in Cuba after a scary trip to Syria for a job. He loves staying at Lola's place, as she's kind of adopted him as her own. With no family left of his own, he enjoys visiting her, and feels a bit responsible for her. So, when her great niece shows up, and he can tell she's a spoiled rotten princess, he's worried about her true motives where Lola and her home are concerned. He's also wildly attracted to her, but he doesn't plan to do anything about it. Best laid plans...

Jonah and Carla's chemistry was off the charts, and the love/hate, push/pull dynamic they had was so much fun to see. They really rubbed each other the wrong way at first, yet they still couldn't fight their attraction. I loved their banter, and their antagonism toward each other, especially once they both realized it wasn't going to stop them from getting together. They both have a lot of personal issues to overcome before they can even attempt a relationship. Also, neither of them truly planned to see each other after their liaison, but a little positive test changes everything.

Even with the baby coming, they both really have a lot to deal with, and being together just doesn't seem feasible, no matter how they might want it. Carla is the baby of her family, and she's always felt like a disappointment to her parents. Jonah has a painful past in regards to feeling he's letting people close to him down. They both had to come to terms with their strengths and weaknesses to make their situation work for them. I really appreciated their struggle. I also loved seeing the rest of Carla's family again, as they are all highly entertaining. Her Aunt Lola was a bawdy delight, and Jonah's best friend Charlie was quite the character too. Charlie will be the hero in book 4, so I'm definitely looking forward to that!

I truly enjoyed this book, and this couple. Jonah was so sensitive, and carefully cognizant of his size and the care he needed to take with the petite Carla. She was attracted to his strength, and his raw sexuality, as he was so different from her normal type. I really loved their evolution together, and I enjoyed their story so much. I'm thought this would be the end of the series, so I'm excited to see there will be a book 4, and I will definitely be reading it.

The setting is in beautiful, mysterious Cuba but instead Carla and Jonah spend it inside the house, walking through broken glass during a hurricane. Really?

Break of Day is a smoking hot accidental pregnancy story. Jonah is a big bear of a guy with a gentle heart and issues from the past that have made it hard for him to love. Carla is a petite firecracker who feels like she can never do well enough in her family of high achievers. They meet when Carla is trying to get over her broken engagement. Jonah was just supposed to be the rebound guy. He turned out to be so much more. If you like you romance spicy with a bit of humor you will love this story ...more

Break of Day (One Night in South Beach) by Andie J. Christopher
Break of Day blows in like a cyclone. The passion is as tempestuous as a raging storm. Carla and Jonah seduce readers as easily as they entice each other. Ms. Christopher crafts a tale of resilience that spans two exotic locations and begins within the ravages of uncertainty. Can the love they found whether the storm of real life? An overload of sensations make for a page turning adventure.

Since I didn't realize the fact that it was part of a series, means you can really read this book as a standalone. The book starts with Carla, who arrives at the doorstep of her aunt in Mexico. But instead of her aunt, some big and hot guy opens the door. And quite rude tries to get rid of her. However, the short tempered and sassy Carla is not about to let some stranger (no matter how hot he is) prevent her from entering her aunt's house. So after some funny banter, Carla enters the house to go find her aunt.

Jonah (yeah, the hot guy) is instantly attracted to the feisty princess. But princesses are high maintenance and that is not what Jonah is looking for right now. So ignoring and staying grumpy towards Carla are his main options to keep her at bay. So Carla doesn't really understand what the problem is with the dark and brooding guy currently staying at her aunt's. He, however is terribly wrong if he thinks she's after her aunt's money.
Because that is definitely not the case. Carla just needed to get away from home. From her ex-boyfriend (as in: really ex, out-the-door-never-want-to-see-you-again) and all the bad memories. But being single has some disadvantages and it is nice as some big and surly stranger can scratch that itch. Because after all: since he is not a keeper, it is 'no strings attached' fun. So when they are stranded together because of a hurricane crossing Havana, Jonah sees a different side of Carla, than the high maintenance princess he pecked her for.

But after the storm, Carla's dad is coming for her and whisks her away back home. There, Carla finds out the scratch kind of left a mark: in nine months to be precise...
Unable to tell Jonah the truth over the telephone, she asks him to accompany her to her sister's wedding. There, Jonah meets Carla's totally crazy family. Will the baby and her crazy family make him walk away?
Find out in Break of Day. Four out of five stars from me, with a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc. And I'll be checking out parts one (Stroke of Midnight) and two (Dusk Until Dawn) to see how the brother and sister of Carla get hooked up! ...more

I loved how Jonah was protective of Lola but also how he was gentle with Carla so he wouldn’t hurt her as he was a big man. I liked Jonah’s friend Charlie also. I really liked how it showed carla and Jonah overcome obstacles to try to make it work for them. I loved seeing Carla and Jonah’s relationship unfold. I loved Carla’s crazy family and they were crazy. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this story and I recommend.

One person Carla relates to happens to be in Aunt Lola and she decided to head to Cuba. When she arrives at her aunt Lola’s house, she is faced with big burly,statuesque man standing before her. Jonah was one of the guest at her Aunt’s house.
Both have been constantly rubbing each other in the wrong way since they have met. But Carla still feels strong attraction toward Jonah and when he rescued her after her panic attack, she feels more attracted to him. Once they were trapped in during a hurricane, they have decided to give up on their attraction and give into temptation.
Jonah didn’t want to complicate things in life but Carla stirs lots of feeling he kept inside of him and he wants to know more about Carla.
Their passionate night only last a night but consequences of their night created a life for Carla. After coming back from Cuba, she was finally finding herself and this happens to her but she decides to keep the baby and decides to invite Jonah to Carla’s sister Alana (1st book) to wedding. She couldn’t reveal the truth over the phone and she decided to tell him in person. When he finds about a baby, he is willing to change his life around for Carla and the baby but she doesn’t know it.
Carla didn’t want to reveal her pregnancy to any one except her sister Alana and her future sister-in-law (2nd book) Maya. She was finally coming to terms with her life but Hernandez family being loud and nosy especially males won’t let that happen. Now everything is out in the open and she doesn’t know what to do and he is ready to bolt.
Carla wants happiness with Jonah and the baby but nothing seems going well for Carla. Will she finally find her happiness like her sister and brother??

It was fun reading about all three siblings. They all have problems in their own way but they find their way back to happiness and I loved aunt Lola in this book. She maybe old but her love life was better than any of the characters. It was perfect summer read. ...more

Break of Day is the third book in the exciting One Night in South Beach series by Andie J. Christopher. A highly entertaining, sexy, unexpected romance that you won't want to miss! With a great storyline, complex characters, steamy intimate scenes, angst, twists and turns, this emotional roller-coaster of a story will pull you in from beginning to end. This was a great story, and I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

When Carla Hernandez shows up at her great aunts house in Havana, the last thing she expected to find was a gorgeous, yet brooding, man answering the door. She needed to get away from home, especially after the horrible breakup with her now ex-fiance, so she decided to go to her aunts to help her remodel and update her home, but things aren't exactly going as she planned, especially since Jonah is making everything more difficult.

Jonah Kane is a photojournalist, and needing a break, he decided to go to his favorite hideaway in Cuba. Even though Lola mentioned that her niece was coming, he never expected to have this kind of reaction to her. When Lola takes a small vacation, leaving the two of them alone, they'll have more than the unexpected storm to weather.

Will Jonah and Carla finally admit that they'd judged each other wrong, and that they are attracted to one another? When they're preparing for the storm outside, neither is prepared for the storm brewing between them. Can they keep it simple, and chalk it up to a fling? Or will their feelings for one another, and the surprise twist, bring them back together? You're going to have to read this to find out!

I haven't read any of the other books in this series, but it's not necessary to prior to reading this one. I had no problems keeping up with the story, or the characters, and never felt like I was missing anything. I'm looking forward to going back to read the other books, and have no doubt that they'll be as great as this one was.

I would recommend this book, series, and great author.

Carla didn’t count on big, burly Jonah Kane’s presence. The heat level between Carla and her ex-fiance was negligible at best and Carla doesn’t expect to be quite so affected by Jonah. Too bad Jonah thinks that Carla’s nothing more than a spoiled little princess...

I first heard about Break of Day upon learning that I’d somehow subscribed to Andie J. Christopher’s mailing list. This isn’t particularly unusual for me. In any given day, I probably get twenty to thirty emails from various authors, some that I know, some that I don’t. I always read them, though, and this one from Andie included the first chapter of this book. I read it as I was getting ready for work, and I was hooked. I was still thinking about tiny spitfire Carla and Jonah, the gruff photojournalist who towered over her when I got home from work and logged onto Netgalley. The book was hours away from being archived, but I requested it anyway. Miraculously, I got an email the next morning that I’d been approved.

Break of Day is exactly what I expected from that preview. It’s hot. It’s sexy. It’s fast-paced. I loved both characters just as much as I thought I would. There’s some angst here, but nothing too crazy. I never wanted to rip my hair out, which is a definite plus for me. I was a little apprehensive about the accidental baby aspect of the book (not a spoiler -- it’s in the blurb!) but I think that it was handled really well.

Break of Day is the third book in Andie J. Christopher’s One Night in South Beach series. I haven’t read the first two, and it’s not necessary to understand the plot or the characters, but I definitely plan on going back and seeing what I missed.

Whilst I am not a prude I felt that this was excessive. I read to the end because I wanted to see if the actual storyline developed further, as the writing style was engaging.

This novel had moments of really good entertainment but, at times it felt like two very separate story lines with the two main characters. The characters emotional relationship was confusing to me. It didn't feel believable. The physical parts were a little graphic but entertaining.
