About the author

I am happily married to an amazing man. We have two children and the requisite 2 dogs.

After picking up my first romance book in my teens, I was hooked on the happily ever after. Sure it's often a bumpy road to get there, but then the best things in life are worth fighting for.

I really enjoyed this hot and steamy novella. It was perfect for a rainy night to have dreams of Mexico drifting into my mind. Ben and his sexy tattoos, brawny body and killer surf skills are just the thing that Celeste needs to snap her out of her funk. The vacation takes Cel and the reader to some great little local spots in Sayulita and the romance between Ben and Cel is dynamite. Despite their age difference, he is 27 and she is 41, the two have a lot more than just sex and the surf in common. But when the vacation ends, will their bond be enough to make Ben choose a life with Celeste? I loved his inner dialogue and debate over “is she the real thing?” This one will be sure to please, Enjoy!

Lauren is a new author to me, and I chose this book as a prize in a draw.

I really enjoyed reading this novella, a young guy with an older woman!!
Looking to escape and have some fun, Celeste never imagined finding a second chance at love on her vacation with her friends...
Ben likes to get away from the real world and run his surf shop in Mexico, leaving behind the troubles of his real life....
Wonderful storyline with lovely characters, and I enjoyed the HEA.

Ben and Celeste

This was a cute short story. It had the potential to be great but that’s the ending? Another chapter or an epilogue or something. We needed a bit more.

Loved the chemistry of Celeste and Ben. They have their differences but also similarities, especially at the end, that they form a intimate connection to aim for a HEA.

Within the pages of Sex, Sin and Surf, Lauren Fraser packs a lot of emotion, conflict, and let's not forget erotic love scenes. Ms. Fraser takes the complexity of a vacation fling between and older woman and younger man and shows the reader how it can work.

There is quite the age difference between Celeste and Ben, but their attraction to each other is hotter than the sand on a summer day. Celeste never expected to feel so much more for Ben, and she tries to talk him into coming back up into the States. But Ben hesitates, reluctant to share the reasons for his decisions.

In just a short amount of time, Lauren Fraser creates a hot love story that will have the readers smiling in satisfaction. With stories like Sex, Sin, and Surf, I will keep coming back for more.

Really liked the way the author handled the younger man/older woman scenario, as well as the ethnic issues. A hot, short, fun read.
