OneTime Lovers

by Cate Lane

Maybe once will never be enough.

Jasmine
My father may be Manhattan’s top property billionaire, but I didn’t rely on his name to get where I am in the cut-throat world of New York real estate.
So what if I'm a workaholic? I still have needs––and by needs, I mean fun with no commitment.
And the perfect place to have fun is at my best friend’s wedding in the Bahamas. Sun, sea, sex, and the perfect candidate is a crazy, brash, six-foot-three, bronzed Australian named Scott.
Sparks fly between us, especially in the bedroom. But we have an agreement, this is a one-time deal.

Scott
Some may say I’m addicted to danger, and they’d be right. I was a pilot in the Australian Defense Force and when I retired, I went back to my first love––surfing. Nothing like the thrill of catching a wave and wondering if you will make it to the end or be spat out in the wash.
Now I run a successful surfboard design company in Florida, a world away from my home on the beaches of Sydney, Australia.
Maybe I’ve been stuck in the office too long. Because when Jasmine Richards offers me a one-time deal on a private Bahamian island, I can’t resist.
Ignoring every red flag, I succumb to the temptation.

When you’re young and single, doesn’t everyone want a hot single guy to be their vacation fling?
When Jasmine goes to a private island for her besties wedding, all his friends are hot but one Aussie in particular catches her eye. Not only does Scott catch her eye but the feelings are reciprocated from him. What’s a girl to do with a hot Aussie while vacationing on a private Carribean island? Jasmine is an excellent mix of sweet, sassy, and independence. As a real estate mogul in New York City she has no choice but to be sassy and have a tough back bone. Scott is a mix of playboy charm and sweet alpha. Can those two personalities mix?
This book was definitely a 5 star read, and a perfect summer vacation read.

Jasmine and Scott are wonderful characters. I love how their relationship grows; their doubts and fears, the fact they both have reservations about being in a relationship at all. Their friends are revisited too and they are a really lovely bunch of people.
The sexual sizzle between them is zinging all through the story. Scott is sexy and perfect, Jas is a gorgeous, strong woman and they made me want to be friends with them.
The plot of this book flows beautifully and is a real page turner.
Cate Lane is becoming a must read author for me. I can’t wait for the next book.

What a cute story about two people who really weren't looking for a forever relationship but ultimately found exactly what they needed. I love that we got to see so much of Luke & Cassie's wedding. Plus, seeing both Scott & Jas fall for each other while fighting themselves.

I love how Scott & Jas were just light-hearted, but when it came down to their fears and worries, they both were there for each other. Their banter & steamy sessions were off the charts in a fantastic way.

After my disappointment with books #1 & 2 in this series, I cautiously started this one. Well! finally, characters with some hot chemistry, good dialogue, action as Scott falls for Jasmine. The only drama in the story is how long will Jasmine keep Scott in the friend zone.

Love across the ocean.

The story had lots of conflict that kept the reader not wanting to put the book down. There was a lot of information about the different areas in the book.

This is a great story that will captivate you from beginning to end. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.
