Spring Break - Left Behind

by Olivia Hawthorne

Amelia Winston: I needed a get away.


As an Art History PhD student, my life was nothing but boring books, research, writing and kissing up to my advisor.

When she asked me to stay behind over Spring Break to do some work for her, how could I say no?

Little did I know I would be working with the most annoying, hottest man I’d ever met.

Barrett Whitaker was an enigma with a monster...you know what, an intellect with a bad boy side, and a man who could mess up my life and derail my future.

Would he ever believe our love was worth fighting for?

Or would he leave me broken hearted and regretting my decisions?

Is it getting hot in here?

We hope so!

Just in time for Spring Break, your favorite Flirt Club authors have put together some steamy, short stories about sexy times in the sun!

So grab a pina-colada and take a break with our stories.

We promise you will get hot and bothered with our hunky heroes!!

i read this book as part of an arc program. This book is part of A Spring Breakers Short Story series written by the Flirt Club, a variety of authors. In this book, Amelia has to back out of her spring break plans after her professor asked if she would do research for her. Amelia felt like she had to in order to keep her teaching assistant position. When she learned the professor wanted her to work with another student and show him around the college, she was not impressed and sent an e-mail stating she didn't want to babysit him. The e-mail was copied to him also and he sent a rude comeback to her. They send a few messages back and forth and she referred him as Beast when he told her to get beauty sleep. When Amelia got to the school the next day, she met Barrett, the guy she was working with and was shocked to see he was a guy she had a run in at a bar a few days earlier. Amelia and Barrett had to work together and as much as he annoyed Amelia, she also liked him and wanted to be around him. They had a love/ hate relationship and eventually it turned physical. I liked this book. I laughed at parts and thought they were great together, even if they didn't want to admit it. Good one.

Amelia is ready for spring break however she gets bad news just before she can leave. The teacher that she works as a TA for needs her to do some research as soon as possible which means no spring break. She goes out with her girls the night before they leave on their trip and meets a sexy hot guy in the bathroom. She's dreading meeting the guy she is to work with because his emails were nasty. Imagine her surprise when the man she is working with is bathroom guy. Sparks fly between them as they pass verbal banter back and forth. However soon they begin working well together. When he sees the blisters on her feet his immediately steps in to help and which leads to them having a hot steamy night together. Yet the next day he is back to his original douche ways. Will Amelia cut her losses and put Barrett in her past? Will Barrett see that Amelia is the one for him?

This is a great story that I couldn't put down once I started it. The chemistry between them is electrifyingly hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

When Amelia somehow gets conned into staying home working instead of going on spring break she thinks everything is going to be a sheer bore but little does she know she will be getting the thrill of her life.

Barrett is a hottie and then some he's very dominating and a force to be reckoned with somehow he ends up working with the woman he met at the bar and well.... it was steamy.

I really enjoyed this book I liked how different Barrett was even though at times I wanted to scream at him Beast reign it in yet I couldn't help but have a soft spot for him and damn those smexy scenes had me melting. I did love how Amelia wasn't a simpering miss she told him straight and it made me smile.

I loved the epilogue.

Funny, rom-com short that left me smiling ear to ear
Fun, sexy & romantic. Amelia and Barrett had me smiling the whole way through. Amelia has to pass on spring break because the professor she TAs for has research that needs to be done by the time she gets back from her spring break. She can't say no, it could mess up her future. Essentially, she got suckered. Drowning her sorrows in mojitos with her friends before they leave on break she has an encounter with a sexy mountain of a man. But that's all it was. One and done until the sexy mountain of a man ends up being her research partner, Barrett. They get off to a snarky start but sparks fly and with the sassy banter, you just know they are going to be great together. If they can get past the crazy ex and Barrett's commitment phobia.

Spring break left behind is a novella in the spring breakers series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable.
PHD art student Amelia is annoyed when she gets asked to work during spring break. She soon realises that she could still have fun when she gets paired with Barrett doing research. I really liked Barrett and Amelia. I liked the sass between them.
The chemistry between them is clear to see and I liked them together.
I really liked that Amelia and Barrett went and got Maggie back. The situation amused me.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and an enjoyable read.

What a crazy first meeting for Mel and Barrett. Which leads to an unlikely match up as Mel gives up her spring break to do work for her professor only to find out she’ll be working with the mystery man from the bar, Barrett. There connection is contentious from the start but a shared passion for art gives them an olive branch toward friendship. Yet, the chemistry between them is passionate and intense. I was captivated by every sexy, powerful and fun moment of this quick romance. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

[Sassy Angel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a great story. It was quick but perfect for a rainy morning. I am really enjoying reading books by the Flirt Club.

Amelia is asked by her advisor to stay over Spring Break to look at some things for her. She knows that she doesn't have a choice because she needs this position next semester. She meets Barrett one night and then finds out that she will be working with him. They have sparks but try to fight it. Will they continue to fight their attraction or give into it?

Amelia may have been Left Behind, but she's not lonely!!!

This is a wonderful story with excellent characters and I loved it. Amelia ends up having to miss her spring break trip to help out one of her professors by doing some research. The professor then leaves Amelia in the hands of a beast of a man named Barrett, who will also be doing some research over spring break. Only question is: Will Beauty get her Beast or will the Beast be too much to tame? Grab this awesome book to find out!!

Amelia has to cancel her spring break trip to stay behind and do research. At a Cuban place, she runs into a stranger in the bathroom and sneaks a peek at his C.

The next day she meets Barrett Whitaker who’s also doing research. He’s an artist, has a crazy ex and has plenty of commitment issues.

A hot hook up with his beast, a dog napping and more back and forth of on or off plus a side of graffiti.

Beauty and the Beast or Amelia and Barrett meet uhm in the bathroom, hence the beast, because that's what she saw! But that's not where the story ends! Amelia is asked to skip spring break to do research, oh and by the way you are doing it with my friend's son. Guess who? Ya you got it! This is a cute story, there's a bit of robbery and vandalism, all for the greater good of course! I think everyone would enjoy it!

He definitely earns the title best when she gets an eyeful in the restaurant bathroom. Who knew this would be the one she would be stuck working with over spring break. At first she fights the attraction after a misunderstanding but he's a real charmer and she finally breaks and what the beast does then is exactly what we hoped.

Spring Break Left Behind by Olivia Hawthorne a five-star read you won��t want to leave behind. This was amazing, for some a spring break hidden away with dusty books and a monster doesn’t sound that much fun, but for me it sounds amazing. The thing is will Barrett be more beast or beauty? You need to read to find out.

[Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amelia and Barrett have an intense love hate relationship that makes this story that much more enjoyable. Loved the interactions and banter and how they fight their attraction. This is a fun, spark filled story and a great addition to the Spring Breakers short story series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

Amelia might have been left behind but she found the beast to her beauty and who turned out to be the loved of her life. Being left behind is so worth it.

You have to read this story if you like feel-good romance. Amelia and Barrett are so cute and their love is kind of quirky but adorable. Definitely learning from each other and becoming better for it.
