Destination: Desire #2.5

by Crystal Jordan

"Love is the best souvenir."

" Desire, Book 2.5"

While studying abroad for a year in Rome, Karen Hudson meets the man of her dreams. Tate Patton is everything she s ever wanted tall, smart, handsome, ambitious. Unfortunately, their year is coming to an end, and he s dragging her along to spend their last week in a rented villa on the Amalfi Coast with his parents.

Just what she was hoping for to meet the family right before she gets dumped.

Tate can t imagine his life without Karen in it. But his parents are a lot to take, and he wants to make sure she knows what she s getting into when he asks her to marry him. Being a Patton is a responsibility, and he has huge shoes to fill, but he knows he can do it with Karen by his side.

Now he just has to convince her that their love wasn t a temporary fantasy, but something strong enough to survive the real world.

Very practical people doing impractical (and very naughty) things together, Like falling in love and having sex in exotic villas and hoping the parents don t catch them!"

Cute, super short story that gives us Tate's and Karen's coming together story. Looking forward to seeing how they got to the separation and where it goes from there!

This was a great novella, of course because it was in Italy. The author does a great job with setting in Positano. I wish there was a little more description in Rome but overall this was a great stop, like a mini-vacation with a nice couple that were already together and we get to see them grow and progress through their relationship.

Cute short story about Karen and Tate. These two had a great chemistry, but didn't communicate the best. Tate gives Karen a test and she isn't sure if she passed or not and Tate realizes that maybe the test was for him.

Love this back story of Karen and Tate as they are my favorite characters in this series. Can't wait for their story!

I basically love anything Italian, but it was a cute read. Not a lot of context; short and sweet.

This is a fun and fast paced erotic short story. I enjoyed the cast of characters and I'm looking forward to reading more of this series.

Ok. Novella length, characters were a bit cliched.

Freebie from kindle.

I received this book from Rock Star Lit in exchange for an honest review.

Very short Novella, not much content but what was there was very sweet.
