A Naughty, Gorgeous and Tatted Man - Who Can Resist That??

I am such a sucker for a hot guy whose been a bad boy until 'the one' walks into his life...or in this case out of the jets restroom.


I really enjoyed this book and have already purchased Belize. This story begins on the way to a destination wedding in Cancun. Tanya is trying to add a bit of spice to rev up her relationship with her boring, blah boyfriend, Aaron. He completely ignores her and is just a lazy bum. To her surprise the first night after their arrival she finds him with another woman...a woman she despised...and they weren't playing tiddly-winks This woman does nothing throughout the book but torture Tanya with insults, name calling and pranks to make her look like and idiot. Example: They are all in the pool and the witch with a B goes to stand by Tanya and the loudly enough for the whole pool area to hear says, 'Wow Tanya...it must be awful to be on you period while on a week's vacation. Everyone stay out of the ocean because she will draw the sharks to us!' She was an awful, horrible, person and I wanted to strangle her. It did bother me that no one really spoke up to the slut.They let her get by with it for most of the book but retribution was awesome. Tanya is so done with Aaron and has her eyes on the dirty-talking, gorgeous man who has shown interest in her since they were on the plane.

Tanya is a beautiful, curvaceous woman and is drawn to Ethan, a naughty, breathtaking, tatted man who is related to the groom. He spotted her right away on their flight and he is entranced by her and he let her know right away that he wanted her...badly. He doesn't do relationships, commitment or marriage. What he does do is women...every night...that he picks up in the bar he owns. I normally am not a fan of man-whores but I do love it when they find 'the one' and their womanizing changes immediately.

Their love story is the sweetest and I will read this again. It was almost a five star read but I was a bit uncomfortable with his crudeness and what he called her womanly bits. Just too raw for my taste and it caused me to feel there was a lack of respect. Especially since he talked like that from the beginning. Had he waited until they developed a relationship...then okay. I loved him though...a lot!

I highly recommend this book.

Tanya goes to Cancun to be in her best friend's wedding. Her boyfriend is with her.Ethan is the groom's cousin who is determined to have her. This is a terrific story. These two are so much fun. This book has so much humor and is steaming hot. A great HEA ending, red hot sex,friends making up and getting back at a skank. This book is packed I definitely recommend it. I received this as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Wowzer, can you say hot.
Putting this book down to do things in real life was hard.
I cannot believe the emotions I felt while reading this that tells me this was an awesome book.
Tanya's best friend is getting married in Cancun, but she is not going as the Maid of Honor but as a bride’s maid. Tanya is hurt but does not want to hurt her friends’ feelings so she goes along. Tanya's boyfriend is also part of the wedding party but does nothing to help pay for the trip so they are stuck in a room right next to the lobby with a view facing the parking lot.
Tanya is afraid of flying but Aaron is no help, she is in the restroom splashing water on her face when someone starts banging on the door. She opens it and there stands a gorgeous man, a man who steals her breath and steals the looks of every female around. He helps her to her seat where Aaron continues to ignore her. When they arrive she asks Aaron to watch her bag while she uses the restroom and he walks away from it. Tanya's afraid that someone has slipped something into it so she is frantically checking it when the hot man comes up to see what she is doing. She goes to put everything back when he snatches the panties in her hand and pockets them.
Tanya unaware that he is attending the wedding, that he is the groom’s cousin.
Ethan is attracted to this woman with her curves and is nothing like the girls he picks up at his bar. He owns a bar and Tattoo shop. This attraction between Ethan and Tanya is not a normal one but is one he pushes for, he can show her what a vacation in Cancun is supposed to be like.
Tanya finds her boyfriend and the maid of honor making out on a pool chair and watches in disgust. Tanya feels at ease with what is happening because she now knows that it is truly over between them. Tanya is determined to not let this ruin her time in Cancun.
All that sets the hotness between Tanya and Ethan, a hot, sweaty, sex filled time in Cancun.

I don't know about anybody else, but even the most well-read people sometimes just want some escape fiction. There are many times during the course of my work week that I dream of a vacation... sitting on the beach, snippy fruity drinks. And that is what I got from this book: a beach vacation, complete with a smoking hot Alpha male. This book had everything I would want to have on my ideal vacation: sun, surf, hit sex, and seeing a "mean girl" get her comeuppance. I would not rank the book among the likes of Shakespeare or anything, but it was still an enjoyable experience. The book does alternate first person narrator between the hero and the heroine, so pay attention at the start of each chapter so you know whose POV you are getting, or you might get confused; I did, a couple of times. The characters are, for the most part, relatable and the dialog is well-crafted. As I've previously mentioned, there are some explicit sex scenes, so 18+ is best. I look forward to seeing what trouble the next bad boy on the beach gets himself into.

A SEXY, HILARIOUS & FUN-FILLED ROMP!
Title: Cancun
Series: Bad Boys on the Beach
Author: Kimberly Fox
Designation: Full-Length Standalone Romantic Comedy, NO Cliffhanger
Reading Platform: Kindle Edition
My Rating: Five Delightfully Entertaining Stars*****
Oh my! I loved, loved, loved this book. I've been a Fox fan since she began her career in the paranormal genre as Kim Fox several years ago with her Smokejumper Werebears series and have witnessed the metamorphosis as Fox transformed from a fledgling new author to a talented wordsmith and exceptional word slinger. Her extraordinary gift as a storyteller has never been more apparent than with the release of Cancun, the first offering in Fox's Bad Boys on the Beach series. Cancun is a fast-paced, easy-to-follow, well-crafted, full-length standalone romantic comedy filled to the brim with the perfect combination of steamy romance, outrageous humor, hilarious hijinks, sexy bad boys, and of course, let's not forget the dash of the emotionally gripping angst to make things more interesting. The narrative is beautifully written in the first person with clearly defined his and her perspectives. The dialogue is smart, snappy, well executed and quite often, hysterically funny. I laughed, snorted, snickered and giggled through the entire book. But my favorite element of this sexy fun-filled romp is the characters. They are captivating, engaging, relatable, and realistic. I found myself chuckling as I compared them and their lives to the people I've known in my life. I was instantly smitten with the two protagonists, the lovely and somewhat shy auburn-haired Tanya and the handsome bad boy tattoo artist Ethan. Their interaction, banter, and sexual chemistry are simply spellbinding. I was immediately drawn into the story in the first chapter and found myself completely riveted from the first page to the last.

The story begins with Tanya boarding a plane to Cancun with her unattentive, freeloader, kinda-sorta boyfriend Aaron along with the wedding party of her best friend Megan. Tanya is not a confident flyer and always get air sick, much to her dismay. While on the plane, she first sees the panty-melting hot Ethan who she discovers is the groom's cousin. What ensues during the next week is pure pandemonium after finding her skeevy, smoocher, kinda boyfriend balls deep in the very conceited and unlikeable sister of the groom Stephanie who also happens to be her best friend's maid of honor. Yikes! Naturally, as the old adage says, every cloud as a silver lining and Tanya found hers when she discovers Ethan is more than a little attracted to her. Thankfully, as in life, karma can be a real b*#ch and both Aaron and Stephanie both get their just rewards. And it's fabulous!

Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it! Would I recommend it! You bet, but only for adult readers since it does contain some steamy dreamy sex scenes and our hero Ethan is a very bad boy with a deliciously naughty mouth. Will I read this author again! Absolutely! And finally, was I entertained? Totally! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!

Cancun is the first book in the Bad Boys on the Beach trilogy. It is a stand alone Steamy Rom-Com.

Tanya and her boyfriend Aaron, are flying to Cancun to be in their friends wedding. But from the start he acts like a complete douche. Then she catches him on the first night "doing" her enemy; the loud, bitchy, obnoxious girl who is my best friend's maid of honor. Instead of me...
Cancun may be a paradise but I just want to go home. Until Ethan, a tatted, gorgeous, bad boy who likes to talk dirty to me. He lets me know that he wants me and he always gets what he wants.
We have 6 days to find out what paradise is really about. And it isn't all fun in the sun...

Cancun ( Bad Boys on the Beach)- Kimberly Fox ( 5 Stars)

* Gifted a copy by author for an Honest Review.

Laughs , Heat Heartache and loads of different Emotions pouring off these pages!!

Tanya's best friend is getting married in Cancun . she gets to spend her time relaxing in the Hot Sun, warm sand and splashing around in the cool ,calming waters.

But, There's Always a Downside ..........

- She gets sick on the plane flight to Paradise , while her boyfriend ignores her .

- Her best friend decides to appoint someone else as the amid of Honor.

-She gets stuck in a small Craptastic room with Dumpster views.

and to top it all off .....

Her boyfriend cheats on her with the Gloating , Obnoxious Maid of Honor.
This Trip was going to be Paradise , but is quickly turning into Hell ..Fast !

Until she meets Ethan , a sarcastic , dirty talking bad boy with the body of an Almighty God.

Can Ethan help Tanya let loose and have a good time or will meeting the man of her dreams be more emotionally draining than this whole Trip Fiasco??

This story was Freakin' Hilarious .It had a close resemblance to the movie Bridesmaids with Kristen Wiig .
I loved the angst Tanya tried to hide deep within herself ,because she didn't want to ruin her best friends wedding , but I knew all that pent up aggression would need to be relieved somehow or she would Blow .....Enter Ethan.

OMG..who doesn't like to read a book that has a wise cracking , Hot bodied male character who also knows how to treat a lady.
I hope this book turns into a series with a bunch of different Bad Boys to sweat over , because I sure enjoyed The Laughs , Heat and Heart Aching Emotions pouring from Cancun's pages.

Cancun – Kim Fox
Tanya’s best friend is getting married in Cancun, but she is not going as the Maid of Honor but as a bride’s maid. Tanya was also hoping to rekindle the romance with her boyfriend Aaron, who is also part of the wedding party.
But the attraction between the tattooed hottie (Ethan) and Tanya starts as the Wedding Party begin to board the plane. Tanya, who is afraid of flying, is knocked off guard when she suddenly finds herself face to face with a smoldering hot man outside the tiny air-plane bathroom. He helps her back to her seat, and he's not shy in letting her know he's interested in her considering she is sitting next to her boyfriend. Imagine Tanya’s surprise when she finds out that Ethan is the grooms cousin and in the wedding party.
Please do yourself a favor and read this story to find out what happens next. You will not be disappointed. This was such a fun read, even though there are a couple of people that you will dislike. You will constantly be laughing with this one, especially over the silly songs and the sun lotion .

This was a light, quick read. Some editing errors threw me, but the biggest negative of the book was everything seemed over the top. Stephanie was so bitchy, I'm not sure why anyone put up with her. Aaron was such an ass to Tanya, I can't believe she put up with him for more than 5 minutes. Ethan was so drop dead gorgeous, he garnered female attention wherever he went. He fell so fast and hard with little explanation. It was just too much.

That said, I enjoyed both characters. They had good hearts and seemed happy. Megan and Lucas were cute, and the little songs Megan and Tanya sang were clever. I could picture the two as childhood friends and I loved they had no hesitation making themselves foolish in the crowd for fun.

I'll likely read the next one because I'm a sucker for a Military man...

Light fluffly read, which stretches the bounds of reality with the timing of the entire story, but makes it work, mostly. Some editing fails, but not too many (this mostly needed a few more commas). I got this one cheap, so I'm not sure at this point if I'll read the next one.

#1 in the Bad Boys on the Beach romance series

I'd rate this 3.5 stars, if I could, but I'll round it up because the camaraderie and witty banter were very entertaining. The story was cute. Heroine is passed over by her best friend and another girl is chosen to be BFF's maid of honor. Heroine goes to the wedding with her boyfriend, who promptly finds someone else even though they are still rooming together. But when Heroine hooks up with one of the hottest guys there, her life turns around. Happily, Ethan (the hot guy) is very attracted to Tanya (Heroine) and drops his player ways and focuses on her. Pluses: Tanya and the bride (Megan) are complete dorks and very cute. They do uncoordinated synchronized dances from their childhood days. They write impromptu songs where they toss lines back and forth, then after a few hilarious lines, one of them will say, "OK, that's enough." and the other will reply, "Agreed." I laughed every time. Ethan is crude and rude, but his comments were funny, and I liked how he and Tanya would play right along with each other in joking. They really hit it off and fit together well, despite their differences. Minuses: The story was a little too perfect. The HEA was nice (and expected), but it went too far into the future, I thought, and became almost unrealistic. There was the Villain (Maid of Honor Stephanie) who was way too over-the-top bitchy. And retaliation and responses, while amusing, came across as mean-spirited, I thought. And there was way too much drunkenness. I suppose that's par for the course for a young wedding party in Cancun, but I thought it was overdone and didn't add a lot to the story. But all in all, this was a fun read and I enjoyed this new-to-me author. I will continue with this series to follow Tanya's friend Cynthia's story.

Great story! Tanya's best friend is going to get married in Mexico so she and her boyfriend Aaron fly there. She hopes to get closer to him again but he's clearly not interested but cheats on her with the stupid maid of honour. Right there she didn't know it was the best he could do coz now she's free for the adventure with Ethan, the cousin of the groom. It's like a dream come true for Tanya and she finally gets to enjoy the vacation. Stephanie, the maid of honour, is a stupid bitch who takes every chance to piss Tanya off but she gets what she deserves in the end but what will happen to Tanya and Ethan after this week at Cancun? Just a fling or relationship material?

Fun!

This book was really fun. Entertaining, good story, lots of ‘action’. I love that it’s all happening in a resort. It half reminds me of my last vacation, half makes me want to book a trip!

Not going to lie though, for a while I didn’t like it. In the beginning. I think the author was trying TOO hard to make Tanya ‘relatable’ that in the end the character sounded like it didn’t have an ounce of confidence.
The story turns around quick enough though, so that’s okay. There’s also a couple visible grammar mistakes, but I suppose that’s also ok.

Overall I’d recommend this book.

One of these book you can read out in a day, because you want to know what is going to happen next.

Tanya is going on a holiday because of the wedding of her best friend.
It starts getting wrong with her boyfriend actually before they leave already, but in the plane and in the resort I would have told himk to get himself a room, come on, what a guy. But what happens next the cheating with the nasty maid of honor, rolls eyes.

But luckily there is Ethan, who wants Tanya for himself and does everything to let her have a good week. And it sure is one, hot when they are together and when they are getting back at the nast maid of honor.

great read

I got another book by this author - Heavy Turbulence - and this one came with it. I was pleasantly surprised. It was refreshing to read a story where the man and woman ignored potential problems and just went for it. No lengthy debates about should she or shouldn't she and no extended stressing about whether someone who was a player can be loyal and true. I enjoyed this from beginning to end, including the surrounding characters, and loved how they got even with Stephanie. I can't wait to read Belize. Cancun would be a great beach read.

Tanya and Ethan

Tanya's best friend is getting married in a beautiful resort in Cancun. While dealing with her enemy, an awful boyfriend and some embarrassing moments she meets the hot cousin of her best friend's groom.

This story has a bit of everything, hilarity, steam, best friends, awkward dancing, some sadness and lots of swooning.

This may not be the most updated version as there are a few mistakes still in the book but nothing so bad to take you out of it completely.

Good story.

Awesome!!

This is the first book I have had the pleasure to read from Kimberly. And I can honestly say it was fantastic! I hated Aaron from the get go, I was so angry for Tanya. I wanted to jump inside the book and give him a piece of my mind. But I loved Ethan and Tanya! And I loved the supporting characters also. This story had me laughing, angry, sad, and happy! I would definitely suggest this to friends, and can't wait to read more of her books!!!

This is just okay. The story is pretty much exactly what you expect. I liked the main character fine, and her hot love interest was mostly what you'd want in a leading man. My problem was the numerous instances where I felt like I was reading an obnoxious teenage drama. The cattiness, the over the top exchanges between her and her ex and her and her ex's tramp, the number of times the word "bestie" was used. It lacked depth.

Amazing

This is the first book I've read from Ms. Fox. I had a ball reading this book. I laughed so hard at these characters and the situations they go through. The men are hot, the friends are crazy and the bitches are bad. I will definitely read the entire series and anything else Ms. Fox writes. Great job.

Cancun is a fun, sexy and sweet story of Ethan and Tanya. Though Tanya tries to deny the very direct and very naughty Ethan, their chemistry is hot! While they have others trying to break them and other issues working against them, why’re journey to HEA is entertaining. I received this book for a voluntary, completely honest and non incentivized review.

What are you going to do when you are stuck on the destination wedding from hell? Make sure that you get the hot guy and that you exe sucks sands! Tanya and Ethan were just sweet and fun for each other. It was good to see the "nice" guy get what he went after. While part of the Bad Boys on the Beach, series it can be read completely as a stand alone.

a light fun read

This is an easy reading rom on with lots of funny lines and banter. She goes to Cancun for her friends wedding with her boyfriend who turns out to be a jerk. The grooms sister had taken over her role as maid of honor and took every opportunity to make her miserable. It all works out in the end.

OK, now I know how it began! I started this series with the third book, and just had to find out what led up to Julia's story.
Megan and Lucas are so cute together. After all, "NERDS RULE!"
Great story and a fun and romantic series!

Once again, not startling literature here, but for it's genre, a fun (and VERY sexual) read--so avoid it if strong language and scenes aren't for you. Funny, with a nice side story that kept me entertained. Another book I'd downloaded and collected for free on my Kindle.
