Paradise Beach #3
All I Ask
Princess Isabella of Montignac has never been angrier. She’s supposed to marry a prince that she doesn't love from a neighboring European principality — but he was caught on a viral video snorting coke off a stripper’s butt in Las Vegas.
All Isabella wants is to be left alone to do her environmental charity work. If she refuses to marry the prince, she’ll lose her title and royal allowance. So she flees to a Florida island to think about her future.
When she checks into the Paradise Beach Resort, a fat pug takes a whizz on her travel pillow. Then the dog’s owner, an extremely sexy man named Tate, asks her to dinner. But just when things are looking up, an unpredictable turn of events happens.
Isabella’s arrested for harassing an alligator and an island cop suggests she call a local lawyer. Turns out it’s a familiar face: Tate, the hot man candy from the day before. And since she has to stick around on the island to clear up her legal troubles, she and Tate have a hard time keeping their hands off each other.
Will Isabella forsake everything she knows — a royal title, palaces and riches — for Tate’s love?
ALL I ASK is part of Tamara Lush’s Paradise Beach series. It can be read as a stand-alone.

A sweet contemporary romance that will keep you entertained! All I Ask is the third book in the Paradise Beach Series by Tamara Lush. I haven't had the opportunity to read the other two books in this series, but I found that this book can be read as a standalone.
Bella, or Princess Isabella Teresa Charlotte Marie Willhelm Von Grimmelshausen of Montignac to be precise leaves her country to escape her impending engagement announcement. On this getaway she goes to Paradise Beach, a place she visited a decade ago to revisit a time when her life was simpler. She meets Tate Hastings an environmental lawyer who has aspirations to be a politician with the hopes of making an impact. Bella finds herself in need of legal counsel and little does she know that the man she has a date with is the same man who is set to help her out of this legal bind.
I was amused by the issues pertaining to Bella's arrest and found the story as a whole to be quite enjoyable. I recommend this book as I found it to be a MUST read! All I Ask by Tamara Lush will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ELITE!!!

Florida's tourism agency spent a million dollars to hire Pitbull to sing the praises of Florida's beaches. The agency should have given that money to Tamara Lush instead. Her novel "All I Ask" is a lovely advertisement for what a wonderful and weird place Florida can be.
The book doesn't waste any time getting into its story, either. Isabella, aka "Bella," is a disaffected princess from a minor European kingdom who's into the environment and charity work. She shows up at a resort on Paradise Island looking to avoid dealing with her overbearing mother, who's pushing her to marry a prince from another country whom she finds repugnant. Turns out he's also been caught on camera snorting cocaine off the butt of a stripper in Vegas, so the paparazzi are all over that story.
At the resort she meets a handsome environmental lawyer named Tate. His family owns the resort and he's instantly smitten with Bella without knowing anything about her background. He asks her to dinner, but before they can go she gets busted for allegedly harassing an alligator while on a solo kayak trip. (The alligator started it.) Tate winds up representing her in the case, which means no hanky panky because that would get him in trouble with the Florida Bar.
How can you not enjoy a story like that?
Lush, an AP reporter in Florida, works in some excellent references to important Florida environmental issues, including the welfare of its turtles. There's also a dog that takes an inappropriate whiz on the princess' travel pillow but otherwise is pretty cute. In other words, she touches on some heavy issues, but overall this book is light and funny and enjoyable.
Eventually the gator case is disposed of and the two lovebirds do get together. The sex scenes, while fairly explicit, don't overwhelm the story or characters -- in fact, they broaden our understanding of who the characters are. There are a couple of additional twists to the story before it ends with a tease to the next book in the series, this one involving a woman who dresses up like a mermaid.
So here's the Visit Florida pitch: Come on down to Florida, folks -- you'll see beautiful sunsets and walk on a lovely beach and who knows? You might even see a gator tangle with a princess!

Book 3 in the Paradise Beach series, All I ask is Tate and Isabella’s Story. A sweet contemporary romance, with many fun moments as well misunderstandings. I enjoyed the characters and the story and will read more by this author.

I am so in love with this series!!
Tamara Lush won me over with the first installment in her Paradise Beach series and I love that each book just keeps getting better. Though each can be read as a standalone, characters from the previous books are mentioned. No worries though as Tamara does a fabulous job keeping everyone straight.
All I Ask is Tate's story (Damian's brother from book one) and though I didn't really get much of an insight of him before, he was truly a fantastic character in this story. And his dog, oh my, totally knows how to steal the story! Bella, a royal princess from Montignac, takes a trip to the US to avoid the mess of her "arranged engagement." She returns to Paradise Beach, a place she had visited many years ago. The Paradise Beach Resort has been renovated and it's there that she meets up with Tate. There is no denying the chemistry between the two of them and it was such a delight to follow their story and how well the two of them connected.
Poor Bella, though, just doesn't seem to catch a break and thank goodness Tate is there with his legal expertise to help in her time of need. I love the environment and characters that Tamara has created in this series. Book three was a little more humorous than the first two, but I just love the feel you get when you're done reading. Tamara knows how to capture her audience and she delivers a well-written story you're sure to fall in love with.
I am beyond excited that there are more stories planned because this is truly a great series that is an absolute must read!

The third book in the Paradise Beach series builds on the great start of the first books. While this is a series, I really don't think it would matter if you hadn't read the previous books in the series. The characters who were in those first two books do make small appearances in this book and I'm guessing that the characters who are yet to get their stories also appear. It works fines as a standalone book.
All I ask focuses on lawyer Tate and European Princess Isabella. When Isabella comes to Paradise Beach to avoid the paparazzi and media circus that surrounds her life, she hopes to remain under the radar for a while. Unfortunately, after a quite amusing encounter with some of the local wildlife, she finds herself in court and in the spotlight. Fortunately, Tate is there to help her out of a sticky situation and she soon finds herself falling for him.
This is quite a sweet story. Tate is lovely and he and Isabella are very well matched. I enjoyed the growth of their romance. The story moves along quite quickly and although there is a bit of a misunderstanding, this isn't really much more than a little blip on their trip to happiness together.
This series is a lovely, quiet lighthearted read. There's romance, a bit of heat and a lovely humourous touch which make this just the kind of read for a bit of light escapism. I'm looking forward to the rest of the books in the series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

“Like I’ve said before, to me everything that Tamara writes is a masterpiece and All I Ask is no the exception! What a fascinating and marvelous story, everything about this story was absolutely perfect. I’m still recovering from the epic rollercoaster ride she took me chapter after chapter. It’s a sweet romance that will keep you wanting to read faster, trust me!”

4.5 stars for this book 🌟
WARNING: contains little spoilers, so back out now while you can if you don’t want it spoiled ;)
Weeeeeww!!! That was a legit sexy book! Tate and Bella’s chemistry is over-the-edge! This is a book about love, commitment, responsibilities, and fantasy—i guess.
Tate is an environmental lawyer who fell head over heels for a girl named Bella without realizing she was a Princess — a real royalty Princess in Europe. Their chemistry in different things was amazing, i felt it. HAHAHAHA i appreciate how the author wrote Bella as the ”plain princess” and not those snob ones. I like how she’s dying to have a normal life and not begging to be queen. I did hate her mother though who was only thinking about how they want to follow tradition by marrying their daughter to a prince of a neighboring town to become queen. But i’m glad she didn’t disown her daughter when she called off the wedding and turned her back on royalty.
Tate, on the other hand, is the guy of my dreams. He’s so passionately understanding, caring, and honest. You probably wouldn’t even had the slightest doubt about him because of how honest he was in this book. And the way he was to Bella, i mean come on, who would not appreciate a guy like him?!?! He has sincere intentions of being with Bella for the rest of his life. Aaahhhh!!!!!!! <3
Recommended to romance readers out there!!!
Happy reading! xo

I was just enjoying All I Know and All I Want, when I saw the arc of All I Ask coming on Netgalley. So, of course, I had to request it. The story continues in All I Ask with Tate taking care of the cute pug dog, that they had rescued in the previous books. When the dog accidentally pees on the pillow of one of the guests of their resort, Tate asks the gorgeous woman out as a repayment. Little did he know, that this woman is a princess.
Isabella cares more about her environmental work, than her throne. But when her betrothed has been caught sniffing coke of the back of a Vegas girl, she flees the country to Paradise Beach. But when she ends up in jail for harassing a crocodile (who tried to eat her paddle, thank you very much!) she asks for a lawyer. And ends up with Tate (the owner of the cute dog who asked her out) being her representative.
To ensure her privacy, Tate takes Isabella home, to await her trial. Being basically trapped in his apartment, Tate and Isabella learn a lot about each other and their common interests. But how can a lawyer and a princess be a match? Is Isabella willing to give up her title and her throne for Tate? And is Tate up for the total lack of privacy as a famous royal? Find out for yourself in this sweet read. Four out of five stars from me and I will be awaiting the next parts in this series. Thank you Netgalley for providing the arc.

Another great Tamara Lush book in this series.
Isabella is the princess in her country and her parents are strongly pressuring her to marry the prince of a neighboring country, thus ensuring she will be a queen one day and solidify the relationship between the two countries. But, the man they chose is a playboy, always in trouble, and just not the type of man Isabella sees herself married to. In order to think things through she escapes to Paradise, Florida where she meets Tate, a local lawyer. After accidentally getting into trouble with the law, Tate comes to her rescue, and let's just say the sparks are flying. Will Isabella renounce her title to stay in Paradise with Tate, or will she do what is expected of her?
Loved this book. Could not put it down once I started.

I cannot get enough of this series! Tate and Bella are so much fun. The circumstances surrounding the arrest are hilarious. The way the girls rally around each other is one of my favorite parts. The romance is sweet and sexy. I'm back to wanting to smack Max around. And poor Chunky! This is a light hearted, fast paced read perfect for romance lovers. I can't wait for the next one.

I have now read all 3 books in this series.
This one is the best. I really enjoyed it!
He's a lawyer and she's a princess. That's different, right?? I've never read a story like this one.
I do recommend you read this one - can be read on its own with no issues.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again, I love the Paradise Beach series. Even though you can read any of them as a stand-alone, the characters from previous books are intertwined in the current and it makes it that much more special. I’m impatiently waiting for “All I Do”
Thank you to Kindle, NetGalley and Tamara Lush for gifting me with the ARC.

Another fast, fun, easy read in Tamara Lush's erotic romance series set in Paradise Beach. This one features the another of the hunky Hastings brothers, Tate, an environmental lawyer, who falls for Isabella, a princess from an obscure European country. She, sadly, is being pressured by her parents to marry a prince from a neighboring country, and comes to Paradise Beach for some down time away from it all. One of the first things she does is get arrested for molesting an alligator while kayaking. Tate to the rescue.
Do you have any doubt how this will end? Mental therapy for Covid-19 anxiety.

Paradise Beach keeps getting better- this one is truly fun, sexy and a very cute pug. Tate loves what he does and hopes to be one day in politics. Bella is back to a place made her happy while she was in college. She also is trying to find herself after she tells her family she won’t marry someone.
I loved how Tate and Bella meet; they have an instant connection and banter that makes them so damn loveable. This is one fun slow burn romance.

The third book in the series and probably the sweetest but enjoyable nevertheless.
In comes a princess with a chance to lose her title and inheritance but to gain a future full of love and happiness with her swoony lawyer and his dog.
Another story full of laugh out loud moments, steamy scenes and chemistry and some small suspenseful events. Old and new characters are making an appearance and will see what the next books are bringing in for this series that it's perfect for the romantic comedies lovers.

A little too much silly comedy...silly lines, silly behavior...just a little too much for me.
Every scene seemed a little overboard, almost felt like every cliche’ possible for each situation was being used.
Sorry, this one just wasn’t for me.

I had quite a gap between reading this book compared to when I read the prequel and book one. In fact, after finishing those, I did start this one right away--but then I left it for a few months. I'm not really sure why. But it was easy to get back into the story and returning to the Paradise Beach world was easy and familiar.
Isabella quickly became my favourite of the narrators so far. I warmed to her a lot more than Kate and Lauren. Her character just felt a lot more realistic and intriguing (though Lauren's characterisation is really good too in the first book!) and her goals were relatable. Bella's big on animal rights and this is something I'm really interested in, and it was good to read.
As a narrating character, Tate was great. I much preferred him to Damian. One worry I often have when reading series that have multiple narrators is that some are going to seem like copies of the others, but this has so far not been the case with Tamara Lush's Paradise Beach series.
This book also has a lot more comical moments than the last two, and I enjoyed the mix of lightheartedness and seriousness that this offered.

Thank you to Tamara Lush for providing me with a free audiobook in return for an honest review.
All I ask is part of a multiple book series which I listened to as a standalone. But at no point did I not understand what was going on or who people were.
Princess Isabella of Montignac gets away from the stress of royalty by escaping to a paradise beach resort. Here, she meets Tate, brother of the hotel owner and environmental lawyer, a man who comes in handy after Isabella gets arrested.
This story was so unique and light hearted, it was a really refreshing read. Isabella was a brilliant character with a 'Bridget Jones clumsy' kind of feel. She's a very strong heroine and her relationship with hero Tate was an interesting read.
Narrator Crystal Elm did a great job bringing the story to life and keeping it going. She kept me engaged and interested throughout the audiobook.
I also loved hearing about the other characters in this book and do look forward to reading about them in the future. I've not read any other books by Tamara Lush before but am definitely planning to in the future.
All I ask is part of a multiple book series which I listened to as a standalone. But at no point did I not understand what was going on or who people were.
Princess Isabella of Montignac gets away from the stress of royalty by escaping to a paradise beach resort. Here, she meets Tate, brother of the hotel owner and environmental lawyer, a man who comes in handy after Isabella gets arrested.
This story was so unique and light hearted, it was a really refreshing read. Isabella was a brilliant character with a 'Bridget Jones clumsy' kind of feel. She's a very strong heroine and her relationship with hero Tate was an interesting read.

All I Ask (Paradise Beach #2) was a good read by Tamara Lush. Isabella is the Princess of Montignac and is supposed to marry the prince of a neighboring European principality. But he was just caught on video snorting coke off a stripper in Vegas. Isabella doesn't want to marry and just wants to do her environmental charity work. She flees to a Florida Island to think about what she wants to do next. She meets Tate when his fat pug pees on her travel pillow. When she's arrested for harassing an alligator, she runs into Tate again. I really enjoyed reading this book and can't wait to read more by the author.

All I Ask is Isabella and Tate's story. Isabella is a European princess who's trying to get out of an arranged marriage. She visited Paradise Beach Resort which she hasn't been since over 10 years ago. When she was there, she ran into some trouble and needed legal help. That legal help came in the form of Tate, and thus begun Isabella and Tate's story.
Without going into too much details, this is a nice continuation from the previous books, but it could be read as a standalone too. Similarly to the previous books, this was a very steamy read with lots of nice surprises.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of all I ask. I have really loved the paradise beach series and this one was no exception. I love the area the book takes place and the characters are always like able. The only little thing I didn’t love about this one was the royal aspect. Royal romances aren’t usually my thing for some reason but for this series I can for sure look past that.

The third story of the Paradise Beach is about Bella (princess Isabella) and Tate. I liked it because it has a nice storyline: love at first sight, a little misunderstanding and of course a HEA. Sweet!
This review is based on the audiobook. The narrator did a good job and was pleasant to listen to. Perhaps there could have been more emotion in Tate’s voice.
