HOLY CANNOLIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sit on an iceberg, under a shade tree with an air conditioner blowing on you when you read this one!!! This one to me was nuclear!!!
Carrie was all set to get married but caught her fiance' and best friend in a very compromising situation. So she dumps him and goes to Key West on her "Honeymoon"
Chris works in Key West, having transplanted from up north. he is hot, seriously hot. Meets Carrie on a party Barge that he works on and the sparks start to fly.
if you are squeamish about alot of sex and how many are involved this is not a book for you. but it is a romance and you will love the ending

Wow everyone- This book is really somethin! Talk about your sex- fest! Jeez...
Carrie leaves and goes on her honeymoon to Key West WITHOUT her husband... why? Because she finds him doing naughty things to a bridesmaid on their wedding day! The jerk!
Her first day there- she gets talked into a "booze cruise" by a hot guy named Chris that works at the resort. When she arrives to the boat- Chris is there! Once Carrie has a few rum punch cocktails, Chris is able to convince her to do quite a few devilish things... including a wet t-shirt contest?? From this point.. the book really spirals into a hot sex-fest! Im not kidding...
There is quite a bit of m/f/f action- which I dont usually like, however this is pretty tasteful (if there exists such a thing), lots of voyeurism, a lot of naked in public, and a small scene with m/f/m- though that scene is nothing too risque'. Oh- and Chris has a really really big.... umm...well... you know! Lets just say this book is "big fun"!!!

When Carrie goes to Key West for her honeymoon alone, she discovers a part of herself that she didn’t know existed. Bringing her out of her shell is Chris, a man who knows how to give a girl a good time. When he realizes that Carrie was supposed to be here with her husband, he tries to mend her broken heart with a series of steamy nights. What starts off as lust soon blooms into something far more serious, surprising both the characters and me as a reader.
Once again, Alexander has a great blend of BDSM, multiple partners and some girl on girl action. So you can guarantee that this book is going to be a scorcher. I love that each book captures something different with the setting and also has very different personalities in the heroines.
This book is a very quick read, so if you’re in the mood for a pick-me-up, I would highly suggest checking out this series.

Well, the only thing one can drink while reading Key West is a big ol' glass of rum punch (recipe is included in the dialog) over ice. While sitting in a tubful of ice. Or perhaps while sitting on a 'swimsuits optional' beach.
This book, like the other 'Hot in the City' series books, Sin City and French Quarter, this is a ROMP. That means non-stop, no-holds-barred SEX from end to end.
Lacey Alexander does provide a storyline and even a happily-ever-after ending, but don't expect deep, intense drama. The 3 stories in this series are all set in the most hedonistic places in the U.S. (Las Vegas, New Orleans, and Key West) so leave your inhibitions behind and enjoy!

This book is Hot, Hot, Hot!
The opening starts like many romance stories: jilted bride goes on honeymoon anyway, and decides to have a good time. Where it goes from there is the realm of Lacey Alexander’s very fertile imagination. There is a little bit of something for everyone in this book. At its heart, it is a m/f romance, but Carrie decides to “relax” and try new experiences, so the reader is treated to encounters including all varieties and combinations of partners.
I enjoyed the fact that while Carrie was on vacation, Chris and his friends all worked, and plans had to be made around their work schedules. This made it seem a bit more realistic. I also enjoyed the fact that they visited the Hemmingway museum. Not only did it add depth to Carrie’s character, it also provided a “respite” from the almost constant sex.
In fact, if I have a negative comment about this story, it is the amount of sex in the book. At times, it almost seems too much, and I looked forward to the sections of the story where Carrie was worrying about her feelings for Chris and what she would do when she went home. It also would have been nice if I could have put the book down from time to time, in order to give myself a little break from the constant sexual interactions. Having said that, I need to add – what a problem to have!
This book is NOT for the faint of heart. However, if you want a story that is so hot you need to put your e-reader down for fear of it spontaneously combusting - download it today!

Good and Trashy! That's what I'm talkin' about...of course its written in typical Lacey fashion. Although her books tend to lack the element of surprise, I'm willing to make concessions based on the steam factor. What its not lacking is lots of dirty hot kinky sex. Get it. Read it.

This wrapped up the Hot in the City series, which has to be one of the hottest trilogy of books I've ever read. Seriously. What I loved about Key West was how connected I felt to the love story from the beginning. It wasn't just about sex, which is what Lacey Alexander does best. A little embarrassing to admit, but I think what I loved about Chris and Carrie was how they had to work for their physical relationship because of a size issue, if you get my meaning. It seemed to make them more real. It was also nice to see Cole and Amy again from the short story Hot for Santa. This was my favorite book in the series, which went out with a bang. I loved it.

2.5 if that was possible
The beginning of the book with the heroine slowly learning to shed her inhibitions thanks to her strong and unrequited attraction for Chris was nicely done. Then there's a long part where they just try out new experiments, with no real objective, no high point, obviously no character development and even no characterization at all regarding anyone except the heroine, and for her that's already very light.
And the ending with its HEA seemed slightly artificial and a let-down in some ways considering it felt totally devoid of any emotions.
However nothing strikes there as totally out of character or dumb, so that makes it better than others.

My first read of this author and I didn't like her style. Average writing quality with a lot of scenes (including ff that I skipped) that were boring. I found myself skipping more and more towards the end to get it over.

Ohhhh Lacey!! How do you do, what you do, and do it so well!!
What a hot story. He is s-e-x-y! Definitely my top two of your men. (can't decide if I like my gruff and tumble Cajan man from French Quarter better, Dawlin).
You never disappoint and now I'm thinking I need to make a trip out to Key West! Hot Hot Hot!

Just not my thing. The end. Someone else who loves this kind of explore your sexuality erotica might really like it. I just think it feels a bit erratic. Emotional and connected in the start. Then turns kind of soulless in the middle and the then back to connected and emotional. I am good with the exploring the limits thing but the tone changes and that throws me out of the story.

Carrie has just found her ex-fiance getting a blowjob from a bridesmaid on the day of her wedding. Ackward! So when she storms out her sisters insist that she go on the honeymoon trip anyway. Why waste a perfectly good week in Key West?
Chris is an extremely hot guy that has 2 or 3 jobs to help him pay for his boat. He has lived the life as a banker in Cleveland and now he has made a home in Key West. They meet when she is exchanging tickets and from then on they can't seem to get each other out of their minds.
Chris pushes Carrie to explore her wilder side and she finds that being bad is somoetimes very good.
The two things that made me give this book 3 stars was:
1. Chris' extremely large dick - Really? She needs 3 vibrators to prepare her for this monster cock? She is in her 20's....was her ex-fiance hung like a hampster or what? That whole big dick thing kinda when above and beyond. NOT THAT I AM OPPOSED TO BIG COCKS!! LET ME MAKE THAT CLEAR!! It was just over exagerrated in the story for me.
2. Chris' friend Shay. She must be the most annoying charachter in any book I have ever read! It's obvious from the beginning that she didn't like Carrie. She felt threatened since Shay and Chris have been friends with benefits for a long time. Nothing steady, but that go to person when you are really horney. Shay just butted into any scene with Chris and Carrie any way she could. If I was Carrie I would have thrown her overboard and hoped the sharks got her. But that's just me..lol

This is a really good series that takes you into the life of one of the three Marsh sisters as they break out of their very staid lives. The characters are very well realized and draw you into their world which is really just ours. The locations are familiar and so make the enjoyment of the book even better. I was drawn into the story immediately because it starts strong visual. The POV changes between the two main characters so that you know what they are thinking throughout, though for the first half we only hear from Carrie.
Carrie Marsh is the youngest of three sisters and the most conservative. She was supposed to get married but has ended up on her honeymoon alone due to the actions of her groom just before the wedding. Chris McCann is the tan god and resident who helps Carrie change her reservations for two to reservations for one, but he is interested in maybe helping her with more than just arrangements.
In laid back Key West you can sometimes find more than just sun and fun, you can sometimes find a new way of life.
This is a very hot story that gives more than a passing tingle. There is a love story as well as the usual sex. There is some light BDSM, menage play, mff, mmf, mfm, toy play, and anal play. If you do not like any of these I would say give it a pass, but if you are adventurous then you should give it a read.

Somewhere, maybe even hidden deep inside, there is a dirty kinky sex kitten waiting to get out! This couldn't be closer to the truth for Carrie. Like with the first two Hot in the City books, this one was super charged with everything from multi-partners, girl on girl, menage a trois (both f,m,f and m,f,m), and sex toys a plenty. Most importantly, for me at least, was the freedom to explore all your deepest darkest desires WITH OUT being made to feel like your wrong or dirty. I love that in each book, this one especially, the male lead is supportive and encouraging, but not judgmental and pushy! Most people are afraid to let themselves explore and enjoy because of what others will think of them. Bless L.A. for writing that freedom into each of her stories! Fantastic book! Fantastic series! I wish there were many more books in this series!

So this was another hot read from Lacey Alexander. Similar to the other two books I've read of hers, a woman blossoms sexually and a self-proclaimed bachelor ends up falling hard. And while it is somewhat following a formula, the sex is never boring or repetitive! Plus, she creates such likable characters. I loved Chris, how in awe he was of Carrie, how supportive he was of her exploration of herself. Carrie, given what had happened to her before the trip, was ultimately quite carefree about so much -- she just wanted to experience what she could while she could. Even Shay was kinda fun. It was also nice to see a peek of Liz (from French Quarter) in this one all happy with Jack. I guess I'll have to go back and read about what happened with Diana now (Carrie's other sister).

This book was the last in the Hot in the City series, and it was definitely better than the last one, but not as good as the first.
So to rank: French Quarter > Key West >> Sin City.
The main character is the last of the Marsh sisters, once again leaving their fiance (this time because he got caught getting service by a bridesmaid). Carrie runs off onto what was going to be her honeymoon to take a vacation, finds a hot guy, and we have non-stop, balls to the wall, hot sex. Plenty of three-somes, voyeurism and shenanigans ensue, and there's a happy ending for all. Fun read, if you like erotica.

Another fun time had in Key West!
Carrie heads on her honeymoon alone, finds Chris (requisite hot guy) and scorches the city with all the sex between her & Chris & all Chris' friends!
Characters were cute, the locale seemed like a ton of fun and a good time was had by all. And I mean ALL.
Couldn't understand why Carrie had no feelings at all about her to-be-marriage breaking down on the day, but I guess that would have killed the budding romance on vacation.
But really, nothing?
Otherwise, fun book.

I liked this one the same way I liked the other two. From angel to wanton, Carrie was able to shed her inhibitions through Hriz and just to make this review short, all the sex scenes were certifiably burning hot, but there's always something for everyone. This novel has the same hedonistic quality, taking erotic delights to a whole new level.
July 7, 2008
Too much sex and lack of a plot made this book mediocre for me. I don't like F/F scenes either so even the brief one, I could do without. If you just want sex and some romance, this book's okay. Nothing that would upset anyone.
September 29, 2011
This book was ok, not as good as the previous 2 books, not that I normally complain butthis book was just sex after sex after sex it was on every page, whilst there was a story I did lose interest towards the end.
December 22, 2013
This book was okay, but for some reason, I liked the first one (set in Las Vegas) the best of all in the series. I guess I just wasn't in to this story line after the others that I had read. It was a hot, fast, and mindless read, though, good for a time when that is what you are in the mood for.

Muy bueno el libro pero es sumamente largo, si queres leerlo mejor tener tiempo sino es imposible terminarlo, capaz sería mejor que fuese un poco más breve pero fue divertido todos los temas que abarcó.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Very hot and smutty. There was every kind of sex one little dirty mind can imagine. The story was okay. I didn't feel the connection that I felt in the second book.
May 29, 2011
Totally loved this one! Maybe cause they are in key west, fl (lol)

Holy smokes! By far my favorite of the trilogy. I liked the characters of Carrie & Chris the best of all three books and really felt them falling in love (in addition to all the steam).
