Change of Scenery is an extremely entertaining read! It’s a unique story that makes you keep asking, ‘what’s going to happen next’. Loved it and didn’t not want to put it down.
Ho. Ly. Hotness! So Tuesday is essentially pushed into this “island of temptation” experience by her boyfriend, Mike. During their stay, they’ll both be faced with temptation from other people and activities, but Tuesday and Mike agreed to rules that simply can NOT be broken. And then the adventure begins! I jumped from angry to sad to amused to happy throughout this story, along with the heart-pounding WHAT THE WHAT NOW moments only a few minutes into reading. I can’t say anything more without spoiling the whole thing, but if you’re okay with unexpected turns of events and “you’ve got to be kidding me!” moments, this is definitely your jam.
Slight spoiler that I feel I have to share: if cheating is a trigger, brace yourself. There is definitely a reason some men should never be trusted to stick to their word. But I’d still recommend this because it’s a fabulous read!
This book is about a Mike and Tuesday going to an island of Temptations. One rule, no sleeping with the temptation.
Mike is a douchecanoe. I knew he wouldn't be faithful. What a jerk when he didn't like Tuesday rejecting him. I loved Tuesday especially giving it to Mike at the end. Andrew ❤️❤️❤️ told her to experience the island.. I enjoyed this booked. It was great watching the characters grow. I recommend this sweet sexy book.

I really enjoyed this book. The setting wasn't one I was familiar with. The lead characters were believable and I was drawn to them straight away. The pace was consistent and I enjoyed the way it was written.
This is the first time I've read anything by this author, but will certainly do so again.
I love this book, it's one of my faves by this author, and I've read everything shes published. This book is like a reality show put on paper (without tons of drama) Tuesday and Mike are in a relationship that is doomed. He's a dirtbag , a tool, a sleazeball and so much more... I'll let you read to see for yourself... Andrew is this amazing guy who sees the value of a good woman... All he wants is Tuesday from the moment they meet. Their connection is instant .. While they keep things as platonic as possible, the spark is still there... They're perfect for each other... the truth always comes out, and sometimes karma is the best medicine... Its sweet, hotttttt, swoony, and so much more.... To me this isn't a "cheating book" and if you give it a chance you will see why .... I hope you love Tuesday and Andrew the same way I do, and I hope you realize what a giant d-bag Mike is...
A unique and very enjoyable read. I’m a reality tv junkie and the concept of this story about couples and temptation in paradise intrigued me immediately. I loved Tuesday and Andrew and felt their instant connection. Terrific storyline mixed with believable characters make this one story that you do not want to miss.
I was given an advance readers copy of this book and have decided to write a voluntary honest review. I have to say I'm pretty positive this is my favorite book by tarrah hands down. I was drawn in and captivated from the very start to the end. At first I thought Mike was just insecure but now I know he's deuche. Tuesday I truly liked her and I freaken loved Andrew. This story was full of drama the best kind you can't stop but want to know more.
This book was hot and steamy. It has lots of sexy scenes. It does contain cheating. I enjoyed how strong Tuesday becomes and how sure of herself she is by the end. She deserves the HEA she receives at the end.
I received a free ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
A little Temptation Island style action here shows how relationships can falter, strengthen, or bloom under the conditions. In the end, it was nice to see where Tuesday landed. As for Mike and Andrew, I think the better man won. ;)

Change of Scenery is like Temptation Island and I was so obsessed with that show that I would never miss an episode so when I read the synopsis to Change of Scenery, I knew instantly that I had to read it.
I liked it, Tuesday was definitely a girl I liked, she was a strong character and knew instantly how things were going to turn out after this was over. She deserved so much better than the boyfriend she had who thought he needed to explore and see if he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Tuesday or not. I disagreed with the way he went about things and I'm such happy with the way this ended.
A great, quick summer read that had me flipping those pages so quickly that I couldn't believe when I finished.

Change of Scenery is a hot summer romance that needs to be read!
Thrown into an “island of temptation” by her boyfriend, Mike, Tuesday is trying to just survive the temptation and see if her and Mike’s relationship can stand the test of time and the temptation. When she meets Andrew, there’s a spark, and as the time on the island continues and things heat up, things definitely get interesting for Tuesday.
I really enjoyed how the author wrote this story. We for the most part got only Tuesday’s point of view, but a few glimpses into Andrew and Mike as well. As a reader you know who you want Tuesday to end up with, and are cheering for that person throughout the book, but Tuesday has to decide who is right for her and what she deserves. Thankfully she makes the right choice (in my opinion) , but once off the island things don’t get much better for her.
This story is sweet, sexy, and almost perfect in my opinion. I really enjoyed the writing style of the author, as well as how this book played out, the only thing I wished for was a longer epilogue and ending to Tuesday’s story. If you’re looking for a fun summer read though, I highly suggest picking up Change of Scenery by Tarrah Anders today!
What sorts of treats await on "Temptation Island"?
Change of Scenery by Tarrah Anders is another Interesting and sizzling story that is well written and relatable characters. This story is about what happens when you have to live on "Temptation Island" with your boyfriend to see if you are really are meant to be together or not.
Tuesday and Mike have been together or several years but he comes at her out of the blue with telling her they will be living on a deserted island for a couple of months with the promise that there will be an HEA at the end. But wait as their is a hitch in all of this ............... there will be "temptation" on this island for both of them in the form of other sexy ladies and handsome men.
Well you can guess where this "reality show" plot is going, going and gone. Yep Tuesday has every intention of resisting all temptation and staying loyal to Mike. But it seems Mike just cannot resist the temptations, or could he ever really. Tuesday finds out that he has been "sampling" other treats and so she has to make a decision..........sample the other treats or not. She meets Andrew and has an instant connection and some major blow-up chemistry with him. So she enjoys some time with Andrew but will she give in to temptation or not?
I will say that I am not a fan nor do I watch any reality TV as I just find it fake and more than a little obnoxious. So this book basically having the premise of being a reality show I thought would be interesting for me to explore. I found the story to be good as Tuesday was a strong female character. Mike was a cad in more ways than I can count. Andrew was the ideal boyfriend material - strong, caring, protective and just adores Tuesday. If you are a fan at all of reality TV then you will like this book. I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This was my first book by this author and won't be my last. I enjoyed the characters, the writing style, and the story. Change of scenery is a short fast-paced read with lots of action, a beautiful setting and lots of emotion. At first, I wasn't sure if I would like the multiple views but the story is mainly from the main female lead Tuesday's view then we get some of her BF view (which I found important) and the new love interest view which I found interesting. all views were labeled so it was never confusing and relevant to the progress of the story. There is the hint of cheating so if this isn't your thing this is probably not a story for you. Tuesday and Mike go to an island getaway full of temptations. She only goes for her boyfriend of three years who says its to see how strong their relationship is but she is no dummy and wants to strengthen and have proof that he isn't quite faithful as he claims to be. I like that Tuesday is no dummy and open to see what happens at the getaway. I liked meeting some of the other men and watching the things unfold in the house. It was like reading one of the popular dating shows on TV. Change of Scenery is a hot, fast-paced, short beach read.
Tarrah Anders has become one of my go-to authors. When I need a pick-me-up story, one that'll take me away to a magical place, she's the one.
Change of Scenery isn't your typical beach read, yet it's definitely one that's going to heat you up and leave you wiping sweat from your forehead. Totally different from anything I've read before, Tarrah whisked me away to Temptation Island where even the best relationships are challenged. Tuesday (by the way, I love the name) may be up for more than what she's ready to handle when her boyfriend Mike feels they need to see if their relationship is solid. It almost felt like I was watching a TV show and that's what made the story so addicting. I love the idea that Tarrah created and she nailed it, putting Tuesday and Mike's relationship to the ultimate test.
Tarrah has never steered me wrong, and I think you'll actually be surprised as just how darn good Change of Scenery is. Her style and creativity made the story totally believable, one that will leave you with a great big smile on your face.
Take the plunge and enjoy your stay on the tropical island!
I was introduced to this author by reading the 'Neighborhood' series books. I really enjoyed reading them and the book blurb for this book caught my interest as well. Tuesday is in a long term relationship with her boyfriend of three years now. All appears to be going well, at least this is what she believes. But he comes home one day to tell her that he has signed them up for a chance of a lifetime and it will be awesome. Red Flag! The more that Tuesday hears about this trip and what it entails the more she wonders why. But the sport that she is and the confidence she has in their relationship, she agrees. Tuesday and Mike set ground rules for their stay on the island, now let the games begin.....Are either Mike or Tuesday tempted? What is their undeniable temptation? Does their relationship remain solid? What a adventurous read!

Tuesday Bailey was brought to "temptation island" by her boyfriend, Mike, of little more than 3 years. During the course of the 45 days on the island, they will be apart from each other and faced with temptation by the opposite sex. Prior to agreeing to this, Tuesday and Mike both make and agree to ground rules. Without giving too much of the plot away, lets just say Mike does nothing but want to have his cake and eat it too.
I rooted for Tuesday through the whole book, you just have to! I hope we get to see more from the other couples that were on the island.
*I received an ARC of this book, in exchange for my honest review*
I loved this book! It was like our own temptation island, minus the wasted bedhopping. Tuesday and her boyfriend, Mike, have come to see if they'll be leaving together or separately. Tuesday was shocked that Mike wanted to do this but after they lay some ground rules, tries to be open to the experience. I can honestly say I did not and do not love Mike. But that's okay because I adore Tuesday. And I love her actions and choices. She finds her HEA. I received a review copy. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
Tuesday and Mike head off on a temptation vacation (his idea). They've been together for several years, and he wants to make sure there's nothing better out there before they move forward. They have an agreement about how far it's acceptable to go with someone else. Mike breaks that agreement almost immediately. Tuesday is really enjoying the time she spends with Andrew, but won't move too far because of her agreement with Mike. No spoiler here, but Tuesday ends up having a much better vacation than Mike. Interesting book - liked seeing how the relationships changed.

Loved this book! Tuesday goes to an Island of Temptation with her boyfriend Mike at his request. Tuesday is a little gunshy at first but when she starts to open up and really enjoy the experience she gets more than what she came to the Island for. I really enjoyed this book. Couldnt put it down!
This was a fun summer read. I was very uh at first because of the whole reason Mouche (mike + douche) went on the trip in the first place... Tuesday girl!! I loved you at the end but darn... I seriously felt some ways during the book. Quick read and some very definite temptations throughout the book!
A version of a reality show just in writing, not on the screen. Can Tuesday and her boyfriend Mike have their HEA? To find out, Mike has signed them up for a stay in paradise. This paradise is also filled with temptation, can their relationship survive the temptations or will they leave paradise separated? Will they find HEA together or with someone else? If you're a reality show fan, you'll love this story.

I went into this story with an open mind but hesitant. I’m not a fan of any story that has themes of cheating in any form and I wasn’t sure how this was going to play out being on an island of temptation. I don’t know why I had any worries through. Tarrah did it again with an amazing, somewhat insta love romance that was so freaking hot! The chemistry between Tuesday and Andrew is record breaking but I really loved that they didn’t rush too fast into anything. Andrew is the type of book boyfriend I adore and love to read. Strong, caring, a general sweetheart but also protective. Just perfect! This is a perfect summer read to lose yourself in! -Mackenzie.
Mike wants to go to Temptation Island to discover what he is missing. Tuesday doesn't want to go knowing it will be the end of their relationship. While on the island she meets Andrew and they have an instant attraction. Hoping it leads to something more, they keep their options open. When their time on the island is over, will they still be together? Cute story that starts with temptation!!

This was a very refreshing book. The characters were down to earth, normal people. The temptation is real and I think Tuesday got the best deal in the end. I sure hope we get to read more about the other couples from the island. ;)
An original idea of a popular concept. Tarrah took reality tv and kicked it out because CHANGE OF SCENERY is better than anything tv can dream of.
Its one of those stories where you can't predict what twist will come at you and when big things happen, the jaw drops. I was so caught in it's web with characters who have realistic qualities (not all good and some you want nothing but eternal happiness for).
Definitely one to read. I received an ARC for an honest and voluntarily review.
Tuesday & Mike go on to temptation Island to see if their relationship can handle temptation while there. Tuesday meets Andrew & there is an attraction. Much, much more to the story so pick it up & read more from Tarrah Anders. Enjoy!!

An enjoyable read! Change Of Scenery was story about temptation! Mike wanting him and Tuesday to go on an lsland to test their relationship! Not a huge fan of Mike, but Andrew love him!
