Paradise Club #4
Craving Paradise
Welcome to The Paradise Club, where our business is your pleasure.
The rules of the club are clear – Never mix business and pleasure outside of the club.
Simple, right?
Wrong.
Especially when that pleasure occupies every thought and desire you’ve ever had since being with him.
Out of sight, out of mind, is what they say.
Except he is very much on my mind. And at every turn he’s in my sight, popping up everywhere I go.
Rules are meant to be broken, aren’t they?
Never thought I would cross that line.
Until him.

Well.. I'm glad I wrapped up this series. But this was another so-so entry for me. I had a hunch how it would go based on the crossed timeline with book 3... and I was not wrong.
This is again another book that is supposed to be sexy and full of fun kinky experiences at the club and we only have like 2 or 3 scenes there. It just feels like a bait and switch.
Also... the number of misunderstandings and hurtful conversations are just too much.

This steamy series has been so fun to read!
For the last 50% of the book I really didn’t like the mmc and it made the book less enjoyable. He is my least favorite mmc by JA Low that I have read so far.

Yikes, this series went down hill. The writing is not good, the plot is dumb, the spice is boring.
Spoiler but the book contains gems like:
-A woman auction charity event… for sex trafficking
-Man falls in love with a sex worker 10 years younger than him, and then calls her a whore? What?
-“Let me make love to you, I want my duck to feel what my heart does in this moment”
Just crap. Read the first book but then the rest of the series isn’t worth it.

From the moment he called her friend a whore , they lost me . Not because I have a high morals or smth , but because it was so stupid to first confirm that he is in love with her , and then ask her to quit her job. I stopped reading after that .

I don’t think I could have read this quicker if I tried! We got glimpses of jasper and Lauren in book 3 and it was their turn to shine. This story is of a similar nature to book 3 in the sense that Jasper goes to paradise after his ex broke his heart where he meets Lauren who works there. They have an instant connection and the chemistry between the two is through the roof. Lauren doesn’t need to work at paradise but has amazing loyalty to her friend Eloise, so what will she do when it comes to taking the next step with Jasper? The spice was perfect and the emotions were portrayed perfectly. Highly highly recommend this series!!

3 stars but like a good 3 stars 🤷🏻♀️ this whole series is fun, fast and very steamy. They’re a great palate cleanser when you need something easy and spicy. They’re not that good but they’re very enjoyable if that makes sense 😆

A great book to end the Paradise series, This book is hot with Jasper and Lauren story we get to find out if these two end up together.
Lauren is Eloise is best friend from book 3 and Jasper is best friend with Alistair in book 3 we have seen these characters a few time with Elle and Alastair book but we get to dive further into there lives.

How hot is hotter than hot? INCENDIARY!
“Welcome BACK to the Paradise Club, where our business is your pleasure.”
Let me just say this ... CRAVING PARADISE has to be Author JA Low’s hottest book to date!! I can’t tell you how many times my eyes stood out like stalks while reading this particular romance in The Paradise Club series, but it was more than a few!🔥
This romance of Jasper and Lauren’s occurred concurrently with their respective friend’s Alastair and Eloise in PARADISE FOUND, so if you’ve read that, you’ll love the seeing how their relationship affected Jasper and Lauren’s, and if not, you’re not missing out on any plot points, but I hope you’ll find yourself wanting to be checking it out. Even better, start at the beginning of the series!
While internal vows and lessons learnt from past hurts play a huge part in the lives of all four characters across the two books, at heart they are all strong and compatible in values so my romantic heart in this book was broken for both Jasper and Lauren as love was evident on both sides, and I just wanted them to work it out 💔
Friendship and loyalty was also a hot topic and I wondered in reality, how many readers have, or would put friendship before their own happiness? If you’ve promised a friend that you’d support them in their dreams and goals until the end, would you stay the distance??? What kind of person are you?? CRAVING PARADISE isn’t an angsty or heavy reading romance, but these were still philosophical questions that I carried in the back of my mind, and Ms Lowe executed these plot points perfectly. If her goal was to entertain readers, get them thinking AND get them all hot under the collar, then she has achieved that in spades.
If there was anything that made me pause, and this is something I’ve always had in the back of my mind as I admire the stamina of those in the oldest profession, it’s how can they start a serious relationship, and, what does it mean to the prospective partner when they have to keep working??? The whole premise challenged my thinking of this romance based plot and left me somewhat uncomfortable with my own views. Personally, I won’t share, and it was this professional element as the basis of a romance that I struggled with. However, I couldn’t let this change my rating. In CRAVING PARADISE, Ms Low wrote in my favourite dual POV and communicated to me as a reader just how much of a challenge this was, and how the right man, even at the wrong time could just be the answer after all. If only past hurts and insecurities can be put to rest.
So, even after all that philosophical thinking in the middle of a hot AF romance, CRAVING PARADISE gets the 5-hot-AF-Stars it deserves 🔥🔥🔥

This was almost (almost) a carbon-copy of the previous book, except Lauren wasn't as fun of a character as Elle, and Jasper wasn't as memorable as Allister. Oh, and the story wasn't as good. We had the "fall in love with the sex worker" forbidden romance going on, but then Jasper had an issue with it...and then Lauren couldn't stop casually boinking co-workers off the clock. Honestly, I thought Jasper had a valid point about Lauren stopping her dreams for Elle's dreams, especially with the revelations between the two girls at the end. Jasper was an a$$h0le for what he called Lauren, but then again, he's was the John going to see her, so...Who is making out the best? The woman getting paid for sex or the guy paying for it? lol
Honestly, I've had issues with the Paradise Club since Book One. This is the first members "sex club" that acts like it's just a fun place to explore sexually with other like-minded people, but then they had paid staff there to act as prostitutes. (I HAVE read one book that was a gentleman's sex club that was only women prostitutes, but that series sucked.) No matter how she cuts it, Lauren is going to have to reconcile that part of her life. She's either proud of it or she's not. To me, Elle's attitude felt way different. Lauren just felt like she was being pulled along for the ride. I don't know. I'm reading too much into this. The part that was glossed over was the fact that Jasper was also boinking his way across the female population. The author could have looked at the contrast and the double standard there, but alas, that was looked over entirely for...drama and sex.
Yeah, I know. Erotica. Sex club. Surface level stuff. But, but, but...Elle got to dig into the demons of her past! And Lauren got called a name... THAT'S why I'd say just read Books Two and Three. This one was "eh." Good sex stuff. "Eh" story.

love love love 🤍
Craving Paradise by JA Low is the 4th and final book in the Paradise Club series which is now complete.
Tropes:
✔️ FM Romance
✔️ Forbidden Romance
✔️ Sex Club/ Kinks
✔️ Available on KU
POV: Duel 👩🧑
Rating: 9/10 (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️)
🌶 starts at about 10%
LOVE 🤍!! I loved Lauren in Paradise Found and I love her even more now. She is the friends we all need in our lives. Jasper is a tortured playboy with JUSTIFIED commitment issues… but he is so sweet 🥹 while also having a deliciously dirty mouth. 🫦 I loved their chemistry and they were absolute 🔥 in the bedroom/bathroom/outside really wherever they were. 😉 Lots of ups and downs with these two… both have some serious commitment issues and I thought it was dealt with perfectly. Ms. Low is always inserting and prioritizing mental health for all her character and that is refreshing to see. We love a man in therapy.
Also can we talk about Joe?? Maybe with Derek?? Is this a possibility? I need answers.
So many new connections/ series hints were made in this book and I cannot wait!
💯 Recommend!!
✨Is this a new k**k my friends and I have, falling for women at s*x clubs?✨
Welcome to The Paradise Club, where our business is your pleasure.
The rules of the club are clear - Never mix business and pleasure outside of the club.
Simple, right?
Wrong.
Especially when that pleasure occupies every
thought and desire you've ever had since being with him. Out of sight, out of mind, is what they say. Except he is very much on my mind. And at every turn he's in my sight, popping up everywhere I go.
Rules are meant to be broken, aren't they? Never thought I would cross that line.
Until him.

I love the authors writing so much! She creates a fantastic world, with so many interconnected characters and lots of detail, you easily get sucked into the excitement of the story!
The main characters are both so great! Lauren and Jasper have wonderful back stories and I was eager to watch how everything would unfold. They have a connection right off the bat and an instant chemistry that flowed and developed well during the book.
Jasper and Lauren are fiercely loyal friends, but have relationship fears and apprehension. After a memorable night together at the Paradise club, a chance meeting at a club in Ibiza has them realizing they run in the same circle of friends-this makes it hard for them, but they know they must stick to the rules of the club. All this adds to some phenomenal tension, and a constant war to fight the pull of both emotional and physical feelings they share.
I love how strong, independent and confident Lauren is. Jasper is so sweet and you can feel the care he has for Lauren, but he also has issues from he past he must overcome.
As with all Paradise club books, the spice is on point, these two are fire together!
I’m sad that this is the last book of the series, but it was wrapped up perfectly. This was a great group of couples, I enjoyed catching up with all of them.
I can’t wait to see which character is next on J.A. Low’s list to find their HEA in her next series!

An ending worthy of paradise
Well, what a way to end a brilliant series. I’ve really enjoyed all the naughtiness and fun within these books. Paradise is not for the faint hearted or prudish, so keeping an open mind (and a slightly dirty one) most definitely helps.
As each of these fantastic books has developed, this fantasyland known as The Paradise Club has whisked me away to a world that I’ll certainly never experience myself but couldn’t help but get drawn into. It hot and fun and that little bit of naughty escapism is great for the soul.
Loved this last couple and this final book really helped us to understand book three more fully. Jasper wasn’t anything like I expected him to be because whilst both Alex and Alistair’s story showed him as a good and loyal friend, he didn’t come across as someone who that whole time was battling with his own love life dramas with the headstrong Lauren. This story shows us that behind the scenes they were at war with their own feelings towards each other.., that dynamic of wanting what you can’t have causing complicated feelings and emotions.
As it should, this final Paradise story has neatly tied up all the loose endings and honestly, in many ways, I’m really going to miss the whole Paradise Club gang. I’m sure they will pop up somewhere along the way in more of JA Low’s series.
Great series. Thoroughly enjoyed it and wholeheartedly recommend it.

We have the book4 of the Paradise Club series, 𝘾𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙚 💚
𝗝𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝘅 is a member of the Paradise club where he meets 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 aka Ren, when she walks into his room! After a night of passion which ends in a surprising way Jasper can’t get Lauren off his mind but the rules of the club are very clear no socializing outside the club walls. Unbeknownst to either of them they have many friends in common and it gets harder and harder not to cross the lines.
I really liked how independent Lauren is even though I wanted to throw my kindle a couple of times because of her! Jasper doesn’t know how to control his feelings when it comes to Lauren which in turn pushes him to say stuff he shouldn't. Jasper and Lauren are so loyal to their friends and put others before themselves even when it came down to their happily ever after!

3.5/5 .
This book made me want to start the whole series again…if not all of the books by the author. I just love the writing style. Steamy but with drama. Easy to read and flows well, but still makes me feel something. So clever with the interconnecting characters and quite often sets up for another book or new series.
I love the fact that the women are equal to the men sexually.
The only reason I couldn’t give it five stars is that it was so similar to the previous book. The storylines overlapped which made sense, but it was more or less parallel in the basis of the story with a few details changed for these characters. I do however like that the characters own up to their mistakes, both equally for the male and female characters.
There were a few factual mistakes that I noticed. We don’t call them grades in the England, we call then Years e.g. year 7, year 8, year 9 etc. There isn’t a 4.9 in GCSE. It used to be A, B, C, D etc but now it’s changed to numbers. So anything above a 4 is a pass and 9 is the highest.
I was glad to see more safe sex at some points in this book, in the last book it was a bit of a plot hole for me.

4⭐️5🌶4.5🔥 Book 4 in the series. Easy smutty read with a happy ending for all characters in this series. I was a little disappointed with this final book as it was almost identical to the last book, but (book 3), but not quite as good. (Rich playboy meets bored rich girl sex club worker, sex club, m/f with f/f scene, light bondage, fairly vanilla otherwise, quality of spice 4.5/5, quantity of spice 5/5)
There was a ton of great spice and a satisfying HEA, for this featured couple and the other couples in this series, but because I read these last two books back to back, I was able to pick out too much similarities between them and that annoyed me, and ultimately, caused me to get bored. I also found the dirty talk in this book to be a bit cringe.
I felt like this series didn’t go out with a bang like I wanted it to, but overall it was a great quick and easy read. The series is super spicy and all the character connect yet the books can all be read as standalones. This series is probably not going to win awards for its plot or writing, but if you’re looking for a super dirty read with little to no commitment or complication, this series is perfect.

After the third book in the series, I had high hopes. The writing was still a little off for me, but my biggest issue was Jasper. I was hoping he’d be a fun loving guy that fell hard for Lauren, but he ended up being a total dick to her in the end. I get having a partner that works in a sex club could be really challenging, but it’s not like that was a surprise to him. It literally where he met her!
I would have been totally done with him when he called Elle a whore, and in the process, insinuated Lauren was a whore too. Funny how he doesn’t think that when he’s using the service, but the second he decides he’s in love with her, her work is beneath him. He was hateful and spiteful to her when she said she wanted to support Elle and didn’t want to leave the club. I’d also never stay with someone that made me choose between my best friend and them. I also hated that Lauren was apologizing and stating how guilty she felt for leaving. She didn’t do anything wrong! He demanded she give up her whole life when he fell in love and never once took her feelings into consideration. He fucking sucks.

Funny how he doesn’t think that when he’s using the service, but the second he decides he’s in love with her, her work is beneath him. He was hateful and spiteful to her when she said she wanted to support Elle and didn’t want to leave the club. I’d also never stay with someone that made me choose between my best friend and them. I also hated that Lauren was apologizing and stating how guilty she felt for leaving. She didn’t do anything wrong! He demanded she give up her whole life when he fell in love and never once took her feelings into consideration. He fucking sucks.

Craving Paradise is the forth title in The Paradise Club series, featuring Jasper Fox and Lauren Mattison, aka Ren. Jasper has to take over his family business from his dad and he proposes to his long term girlfriend but she says no and runs from him. He soon finds out that she has cheating on him with his best friend for the last year. He goes to the Paradise Club to unwind where he meets Lauren aka Ren, when she walks into his room! After a night of passion which ends in a surprising way Jasper can’t get Lauren off his mind and wants to see her again. When he goes out to town and runs into Ren publicly cause she is friends with his sister things get a bit complicated cause of the clubs rules. The rules of the club forbid romance between club members and staff. What happens when you throw the rules out? What happens when you just can't deny the attraction and feelings any more? I loved the closing chapter and that we got a whole run down on everyone’s lives and how everyone turned out. I cannot belive this is the last book in this series and I have loved each one. I definitely recommend reading the whole series.

A read that wreaked Havoc on my heart. This was everything I wished for and more. And OMG the read was hot.
Jasper and Lauren were the fun loving friends who were there for others but there is so much depth to both their characters I was in awe with them.
The prologue provided a deep insight into why Jasper doesn't trust easy. And reading them meet for the first time made it easy to understand their chemistry and love them.
I loved their slow development of relationship. They tried hard to stay away but fate had different plans. It wasn't easy for Jasper to trust and reading his vulnerability had me swooning.
I was heart broken by Lauren's decision. But sometimes we need to wait for the right time. I loved her dedication to her friend but wanted her to be the same for Jasper.
I hope Freya gets her own book. I absolutely loved her.
The information we got of all the couple's from the Paradise series made me wish for a novella set in future with all the couple's. Cannot wait for Connelly brothers and SOB series.
Thanks to Jess for the advanced copy for a honest review 😊.

When their session goes flawlessly he wants to see her again. When he goes to out of town and runs into Ren publicly cause she is friends with his sister things get a bit complicated cause of the clubs rules. What happens when you throw the rules out?

I loved Jasper and Lauren. I loved the type of friends they have been through the series as well as in their book. Of course you know the spice in the book is top notch going back to paradise! This was the perfect ending to this series! I really loved seeing how it got wrapped up. I also adored the things Jasper did for Lauren.

Hot Hot Hot
First off I want to say this is one of my favorite series like ever. I really wish the series didn’t have to end but I know I can always go back and reread my favorite moments again.
Jasper Jasper Jasper… what can I say about Mr. Fox… he is seriously swoon worthy as are all the guys in this series… like melt your panties right off. My heart seriously aches for him and everything he went through.
I was always very intrigued about Lauren when I read Eloise’s story in the last book. I could feel like she was hiding something but wasn’t really sure what it was.. well know I know it had to do with Mr. Jasper Fox! I loved how loyal Lauren is to Eloise that is some seriously special bond they have.
Sometimes you need to let someone go in order to find out if it is truly meant to be.
Like this whole series the steamy moments are off the charts!! 🥵🔥
I do love that the author does wrap it all up and the end which is a great place to close the series out!

JA LOW does it again.
I am so sad this series has ended. Some of the spiciest books I have EVER laid eyes on. This book is no different.
Jasper goes to propose to his long term girlfriend only to find out she's in love with his bestie. He starts spiraling and thinks to himself, well, it's time to move on - to the s*x club!
He meets Lauren who is a s*x worker at the club and immediately becomes obsessed. The only problem is that they can only play at the club. They cannot know each other outside those 4 walls. So what happens when their paths cross outside of the club, and they can't stay away?
There were a few things that were similar to the previous book in the series, which is why this isn't a higher rating for me! But I still loved it!
** there is sharing in this book NOT cheating. As well as s*x with other people, again NOT cheating. They aren't dating, it happens at the club**
4.25/5 stars
4.5/5 spice

asper’s heart was broken when his longtime girlfriend denied his proposal and walked out on him. That is when he found out his girlfriend had cheated on him with one of his friends for over a year. From that time forward he kept women at an arms length and was a player. When his life got very stressful he would release by going to a very exclusive and private sex club, Club Paradise, where all your fantasies can come true. There are rules that members and employees must follow or they will be kicked out. Jasper needed to release some stress and in walks Lauren and he had one of the best nights in a long time. When Jasper saw Lauren outside of the club his life was never the same.
Craving Paradise by JA Low is the 4th and final book in the Paradise series. All 4 books were amazing reads and I highly recommend them. I give it 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶.

I think this book and the series as a whole was full of spice (which is why it gets 4 stars), but consistently issues in the stories involved miscommunication tropes, unnecessary third act traumas, and weirdly made it seem like the Paradise Club was beneath everyone by the end of each book. They all went from talking about how great it was at the start to being like “this isn’t anything long term and obviously I can’t work there/be a part of it anymore due to my relationship”, which surprised me considering I think at least one of these couples could have had a happily ever after that still involved indulging in the club.
So while the spice was utterly delightful, and the romantic intensity was great, the “problems” were either misconstrued or more traumatic than needed, and the ending wrap ups felt bland in comparison to the personalities of the characters in the series.

Final book in The Paradise Club series finished off with a bang!! In true JA style this one had hot and steamy scenes, witty banter and a cast of favourite characters we've come to know and love. Jasper, jilted by the love of his life joins the Paradise Club and meets Lauren aka Ren one of the clubs lovely ladies who blows his mind. Still he's not after a relationship but after one glorious night he can't get her out of his head.... chance meetings outside the club don't go well as the rules of the club forbid romance between club members and staff. The two seem drawn to each other and their chemistry is off the charts, but rules are rules and some rules are made to be broken!!

Craving Paradise is the 4th book in the series and it is hot! Full of sexy scenes as well as friends partying and having a good time. Then feelings develop between Lauren and Jasper and they have to figure out what is most important to them. While the story can be read as a stand-alone, towards the end there's a feeling of bits and pieces missing. This is because there's some overlapping of events with the previous book featuring Lauren's best friend Elle. The epilogue brings together all the happy couples from the series with a wonderful view of their HEA.

If someone knows how to write steam, it’s JA Low. She always captures my attention from the start and it’s hard for me to put the book down.
I had the honor to read this one early and I’m sort of sad it’s over. She did a great job bringing us back to this Paradise Club world and, yet again, brought a new perspective of one of the characters to light.
I’m just going to say this—if you haven’t read a JA Low book, you really are missing out on the fun. They take you away from reality, spice things up and leave you wanting more from this world she’s created.
You can find all her books on Kindle Unlimited.

Jasper has so much stress in his personal life, he tries to let it all go at Paradise Club. When Lauren walks in, he thinks he can keep things in the club, but something about her keeps him coming back for more. Lauren is loyal to Elle and trying to find her purpose, and she won’t break the rules for anyone…even for love.
Jasper fell hard and fast and I loved it! I didn’t love how he handled conflict, but he made up for it in the end. Lauren was hesitant to do things for herself, but something between her and Jasper made it easier to take the leap. The spice was off the charts 🥵 And I was so excited for all of the little sweet moments in between. Great ending to a great series!

Okay this was such a fun little read, I mean the plot was kind of the same as the last book, but it is following two best friends who work in a sex club while falling for two billionaire friends who both got their hearts broken. I definitely think that Lauren and Jasper have more things to work out as partners because I feel that their attraction to each other was instant. I think for Lauren there is nothing wrong with wanting to help you friends and having their back and supporting then through their dreams I understand the aspect of wanting to belong somewhere and putting up a front. WE love a man who is in touch with his emotions and is willing to crash out every time for his girl.
