Sinners on Tour #9
Almost Paradise
He’d better invest in some snow pants
Sinners’ fun-loving drummer Eric Sticks recently married his perfect woman. Well, she’s almost perfect. Rebekah’s idea to take a honeymoon road trip from their Southern Californian home to Bangor, Maine in December is far from perfect. He’d much rather travel to somewhere requiring fewer clothes—such as a tropical island paradise—but his new wife is determined to make him freeze his butt off. And unless he wins their wager and can keep from making love to his sexy, sassy lover for twenty-four hours, his butt is as good as frozen.
She has the perfect plan
Rebekah isn’t determined to go to Bangor to cause Eric’s butt discomfort. She’s discovered that his biological grandparents—who he’s never met—live in that distant Maine town and she wants to surprise him with the greatest gift of all: a real family. It will be the perfect ending to a perfect honeymoon spent driving across the country in her perfect minibus with her perfect sweetheart. She’s willing to play dirty to win her wager with Eric and knows her sexy, insatiable lover will be unable to resist her if she puts her mind—and her body—into seducing him. It’s Bangor or bust and she’s betting on Bangor.
Wherever they go, it will be together
Follow Eric and Rebekah on their fun, sexy and surprisingly emotional journey in search of their honeymoon paradise. Will they find it in Bangor or in Tahiti or will they ever make it to paradise at all? Well… almost.

Eric & Rebekah’s story continues in this second epi of sorts. With the cancer scare behind them, these two set off on a honeymoon full of surprises.
So. I really am a huge fan of this series. But I sort of feel like I’m at the end of my rope with this series. It’s sort of hard to explain. But I don’t really find myself eager to get more bits and pieces of their futures.
I went into this excited and although I will probably still pick up Sid’s book that is up next, I think I’m at the point where as a reader I can say farewell to these characters and feel like I was given more than enough of their stories.

***2 Stars***
How the hell do these two not have third degree chafing from all the sex?!?! This book is almost entirely sex!
And it's not even good sex. It's straight up childish fucking. These two don't talk about anything. Unless it's cheesy and sappy declarations of love or talking about when or how they're going to fuck. They use sex to cover up their insecurities and prove their love for one another.
In one scene, Rebekah straight up gets super emotional because Eric would rather take a nap than have a quickie. And he had to FUCKING APOLOGIZE for making her feel bad. At one point she even says that if they're not having sex, then they're not having fun.
It's been a hot minute since I've read the Sinners series, and damn did I forget how immature these two were and how much I didn't like Rebekah. She manipulated Eric into this honeymoon because of her meddling, only to end up causing him serious hurt by putting him in a traumatizing situation.
She assumed she knew best and ended up causing him more pain. If I were Eric, I would have left her ass in the frozen tundra of Maine.

I only read this one because, well Eric Sticks. I love him and I loved Rebekah…in their book. In this novella she got on my nerves. Honestly I feel like these novellas are pretty much a waste of my time after reading the first one for Brian but I love Eric so I thought why not? But while reading it I was pretty much like why bother, I wouldn’t have missed much and would have still had the memories of their awesome book in my head not this…. Rebekah acting like a horn dog in front of their tattoo artist, being whiny and insecure, hiding things from Eric while being an uptight twit and setting up a surprise that should have been pretty clear Eric would not appreciate. But of course after that spectacular display of horseshit in Maine Rebekah still can’t catch a clue, like how ‘bout let Eric decide about his shitty family…not you, you fucking twit not every family is like yours get out of lala land…..This one just left me thinking these two aren’t quite as solid as I felt at the end of their book. Not to mention Rebekah manipulating Eric with sex to get her way several times in this novella, oh yes that screams a long lasting loving relationship….not.
I don’t know maybe it’s because I am still pissy about the amount of money I have invested into the Sole Regret serial novellas and them being drug out almost 4 years and still no end in sight and now these novellas for a completed series are being written when honestly I am not seeing the reason for them at all. So with that said I might read the Sole Regret series (if it ever gets completed) but I’m going to be skipping the rest of these novellas or anything else from this author for that matter. Apparently my reading tastes have changed since I loved the Sinners series and while waiting forever to get to the rest of the Sole Regret series that has been left hanging with no resolution for years…….

I didn't really love this story. I found it pretty boring. Reb was annoying as hell and Erick was just extremely pussy whipped. I feel conflicted because I loved Erick, but this just didn't cut it for me.

Spoiler Ahead Eric Sticks is the fun loving drummer for Sinner's and his story is really breaking. Rebekah and Eric are finally going on their honeymoon he wants to go to a warm tropical island she wants to go to Bangor, Maine where it is freezing cold after all it is in December. Rebekah buys in old VW bus so they can drive across the country she has planned all the different things they can do in each city that they stop at the first city is Las Vegas. Eric and Reb recreate Sed and Jessica's famous video when Eric sends it to him Sed gets upset and didn't find it funny at all. Rebekah gets upset when her plans aren't going as planned and she finally tells Eric why they are going to Maine although he doesn't want to go he does to please her. Along the way the couples has very hot sex in the different cities in the VW and in the hotels that they rent. This was a good book and I love reading this series. I was so surprised when this book was released. I felt bad for Eric his grandparents did know about him and didn't want him it was heartbreaking. This book was well written like the rest of the books in this series. I am looking forward to reading about Sed and Jessica's honeymoon.

i love all Sinners in equal amounts but Eric and Rebeca are my least favorite couple and this story didn't help.
My reasons to hate what Rebeca did are personal, i believe that for some people her plan was romantic or whatever but for me it was selfish, she expected certain things and she didn't think about how the outcome could affect Eric and when the outcome is actually bad she doesn't think "oh shit i screwed up, i'm going to hug my husband and get the fuck out of here" nop, she makes a little rant for what she feels!! Eric is not even her second thought. Then she has the guts to think "i'm gonna keep looking" are you serious? the man is happy! he doesnt't want or need anything else, why do you?
Like i said, personal unresolved feelings, so don't pay attention to this and if you like Olivia Cunnings work read this because it is a fun, sexy addition to the Sinners encore.

Bayağı yorum yazmıştım yemiş yorumumu Goodreads :(
Ben beğenmedim kitabı. Arka kapakta Eric'in ailesi deyince atladım ama hiç de beklediğim gibi değildi. Ben istedim ki böyle doya doya okuyalım bir mutluluk anlarını; ama nerdeee. Paso sevişiyorlar. Araya tartışma serpiştirilmiş fuck-fest. Ben de atladım oraları. Atlayınca da çabucak bitti :D Keşke yazar yazmasaydı da aklımızda rock n roll kalsaydı ya.

Oh man, I wish I had never read this.
Eric and Rebekah are on a craptastic road trip to Maine. During the drive Rebekah is clingy and spoiled. She questioned their entire relationship if Eric wasn't immediately ready to put the P in the V. Eric is still a wonderful oddball but that never made up for how much I now thoroughly disliked Rebekah.
I totally enjoyed Wicked Beat. So I picked up Sinners at the Altar to read E & R's extended epilogue. It was OK. I should have stopped there but nooo...I had to be greedy. Learn from my mistake. Read Wicked Beat and then leave it at that.

Whew! It's been awhile, but I jumped back in to the characters like it was just yesterday. This is Eric and Rebekah's honeymoon story. They are still struggling newlyweds but they still bring on their version of steamy kink. You will not look at a woman with tattoos the same way again, I promise!!
Short quick read but good to catch up with these two.

Didn't enjoy this one. Seemed like she really pushed him to do what she wanted and was insensitive to his wants. Enjoyed the series early on but so much time is passed between stories and no resolutions, I'm losing/lost interest.

I love Rebekah and Eric, they are one of my fave couples in the series :D

I found Eric annoying, until he had his own book. Then I fell in love with him. I didn't remember having a problem with Rebekah then, but I did here. Damn, I wanted to smack the shit right outa her! Whiny, snappish, pouting....get over yourself! And HER making the decision that Eric should meet his birth family? Bitch, please. But Eric was still his lovable self and as always, the steam was off the charts.
BTW, Reb's behavior while getting her tattoo was ridiculous. And I imagine some folks might get excited by the pain. I wanted to scream when I had my four done....but for my mommy, because it hurt like holy hell!

I would rate this higher because it wasn't that bad but the plot was so very wrong. It is NOT ok to spring a meet the biological parents or in this case grandparents on someone. That is an incredibly personal decision to make on both sides. In addition Rebekah's methods of getting him to agree really made me dislike her more.

Fast, fun and sexy catch up with the Sinners. Always happy to read anything about them because I love this series. This story has Eric and Reb going on a road trip together for their honeymoon. They are learning to relate to each other as a married couple and how to deal with when reality and expectations don't mesh.

What a great honeymoon adventure across country with these two. I love their connection and how they joke with one another. The video they made in Vegas and sent to Sed reminds me why I love this band.

I love the Sinners!! Such a sexy and heartwarming story, except for the little piece at the end - it made me sad for Eric.

Sinners on Tour, what can I say about the whole series.
It was so hard to actually put these books down, I was so shock I actually read all back to back. I want to read and re-read them.
The sex scenes.....so hot....please note when reading this series be in a room with an AC and fluids to keep hydrated.
As I was reading I was imagining myself in the scenes or actually sitting in front of a big screen.
These books allows readers to put themselves in the moment, to experience life on the stage, life and love on the road; the ups and downs of it all.
@Olivia Cunningham I commend you for your penmanship in putting your all into your books. Please continue to grace the shelves with more best sellers.....thank you.

fun, lovely and sad
Eric and Rebekah just aren’t romantic people, but they are wacky fun and loving. So a road trip honeymoon fits. I was lucky enough to have a road trip vacation like this years ago when we had a very limited budget that took us from Illinois to the Smoky Mtns and Gatlinburg. We made some great memories. I’m sad that Rebekah wasn’t able to give Eric a happy ending in Maine. It’s still a HEA in that he made a family with his Sinners band members and Rebekah. Love this whole series.

Almost Paradise is the latest instalment in the Sinners On Tour series and is about Eric & Reb’s honeymoon. I love Eric. He’s the sweetest guy and one of my favourite Sinners (tied with Sed). Reb takes Eric on a winter, cross country road trip in the hopes of a happy reunion with his grandparents. It’s a sweet, sexy erotic romance we’ve come to expect and love of a Sinners book and I hope there’s another one. 5 Stars.

If you want to read a “romance” book where the girl is needy, whiney, demanding and doesn’t consider the guy at all and both of the characters talk EXACTLY the same (seriously they have the same freaking phrases verbatim) then this book is 10/10.
Otherwise just remember the fun characters and story line of the Eric Sticks book and avoid this like the plague.

I love Erik and Rebekah. I hate Erik's family. Nice to check back in with these two who are keeping it sexy and fun, even after marriage. Made me want to go get some tattoos. ;)

Such a let down. The visit with Eric's family was much to brief and disappointing. I spent the whole book waiting for nothing.

Quick read.
This is another quick read. This one is Eric’s story and starts after his marriage. As usual with Eric’s character, his focus is on love for his wife and constant sex.
