Passion in Paradise #2 & 3

by Jaci Burton

Passion in Paradise - Paradise Revival By Jaci Burton Book 2 in the Passion in Paradise series Morgan Brown owns Paradise Resort, a sexy, Caribbean getaway for the sexually adventurous. Painful memories from her past prevent her from enjoying the erotic pleasure to be found at the resort she loves, but she's determined others should be allowed to express themselves freely. Love hurts, literally and figuratively, and she wants no part of either sex or romance. Tony Marino is a freelance reporter assigned to do a story on the resort and its mysterious owner. He finds a gorgeous redhead with a mind for business and a body made for wicked pleasures. She's also hiding something--some painful secret that he sets out to uncover. What starts out as a simple week-long business arrangement ends up much more as Tony helps Morgan exorcise the ghosts of her past and revive her sexual desires. Hot passion and the romance of a lifetime ensues, leaving them both wondering if they've found paradise with each other. Passion In Paradise - Paradise Discovery By Jaci Burton Book 3 in the Passion in Paradise series Dr. Isabelle King has arrived on Paradise Island for one thing and one thing only-marine life research. Certainly not to explore her sexual fantasies or indulge in erotic adventures at Paradise Resort. But when she discovers a sexy stranger named Dax, she can't help but feel the physical and emotional attraction. Dax is hiding something. After all, he dives without an oxygen tank and has capabilities no human should have. And how does he know so much about her? It's almost as if she's connected to him, and that scares her. Dax opens up new worlds for Isabelle that she never even dreamed of. But Isabelle will have to fight her fear of giving her heart before she can embrace the unknown future with Dax.

[Hey Hey · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked book 3!!! The league of The Seven Seas, I wanna hear about it!! Ugh. I am sad that we didn't get the explanation.

Book 2 was good. It was about Morgan Brown, owner of Paradise Resort. Tony Morino has came to interview and write an article about the resort and its mysterious owner. Morgan has cut and run with her divorce settlement, buying Paradise. It's been years since the stirrings of desire has overcome the abuse memories of her marriage. Tony is all for helping Morgan reclaim her sexuality with him. What he didn't want was to fall in love with her and give up his floating through life ways.

It was a pretty standard contemporary romance with a HEA.

Now book 3 has the scifi element to it. I love these types of romances! Dax falls in love with a land human named Isabelle. She's a marine biologist and lives for the water. Having a scientific way of thinking when questions about Dax turn abnormal she doesn't freak out. She wants Awnser's to adapt her knowledge.

Isabelle has to choose to give up her land life and live in the sea with Dax. Or give him up forever. I kind of tougher that Isabelle's mom was Dax's brothers heartbreak?? Ugh. This book was to short it left a lot of Unanswered questions. I will have to see if she did expand into a series with it.

I really liked both stories in this book. I liked the second story just a bit better. It had a paranormal theme to it and I really liked the imagination Jaci put into the story.

Paradise Discovery is the best of the anthology.
