Desert Island: Paradise Cove
What's worse than being stranded on a desert island?
Being stranded on a desert island with a freaking hitman!
I'm a stewardess working on a private jet when in walks the Brambilla Family of mobsters.
They're my new passengers.
But there's someone else on the plane and he's not here for the peanuts.
When I'm serving the wrinkly old Mr. Salvatore Brambilla a double gin and tonic with an orange slice, this maniac assassin pops out and shoots up the place.
The plane goes down and we go down with it.
Now, I'm stranded on a desert island in the middle of the ocean with a psychotic mafia hitman.
Just the two of us...
On a tropical island with no one around for miles.
What's worse than being stranded on a desert island with a freaking hitman?
Falling in love with him.

5/5 🌟 2/5 🔥
"I'm trapped on a desert island with a mass murderer. What's going to happen around dinnertime when he gets hungry? Is my freaking severed head going to be on the dinner plate?"
OTT wrote another hit! This review is quote-heavy, just a warning!
In this novella, Molly is a plane stewardess who is working on a private jet for the first time. The people who get on are sketchy and so are the pilots, but alas, she continues to do her job. One man introduces himself to her as Mr. Brambilla's son. Brambilla is an older man who is the leader of the group on the plane. Molly doesn't question it, but soon into the flight shots ring out. People die. The plane has holes in it so it's going down. The hitman saves Molly's life and they parachute out of the plane.
"I'm already in love with her. I have been since the first moment I saw her on the plane, looking up at me with those big brown eyes."
They make it to an island nearby and realize what really happened. Molly doesn't want to trust or be close to the man she watched kill a bunch of people- but there's no one else around. He introduces himself as Blake... and he's determined to take care of her.
"My girl is in danger. Not from a mobster or a stray bullet anymore, but from this island; from starvation, dehydration, from never being able to leave. I'll get this girl off this island if it's the last thing I do."
Veeeery soon, they give into their instincts and sleep together. The spice is fire, y'all! And Blake sure does know how to dirty talk.
"This pussy is mine. This girl is mine. I'm glad I have her trapped here all alone. I don't want to share her with anyone."
Molly is just as obsessed as him by the end of the book. Him... and especially his dick.
"I don't need an island paradise or a secluded cove to enjoy this man. All I need is that hard dick and I'm good."

...an assassin parachuting onto a tropical island with the flight attendant that just witnessed his kills to avoid a plane crash is definitely a first time romance combo for me to read... 🏝🪂 Olivia T. Turner makes this combo work in Desert Island: Paradise Cove with Blake & Molly. What will Blake & Molly do under the sunshine on a beautiful tropical island with only each other for company? 🔥😏
“...I think we make our own rules on this island.” I dip my fingers into the waistband of my boxer briefs and slide them down half an inch...And what’s the rule on skinny dipping?"
You will have to read their story to find out! 😊🌴🌺 I received an ARC from BookFunnel via the Author for my honest review.

This was a short, fast-paced OTT romance that will leave you laughing, smiling, and needing some water. I really enjoyed Black and Molly together with instant connection and undeniable chemistry. These two are wonderful together but they do have some turbulence because of they way they met, and now trying to get survive on an island together. This was a great book and I can’t wait to see what Olivia has in store for us next.

Ella es azafata.
Él, un director de escuela.
Se llevan 10 años (él 33 y ella 23) y solo un par de meses (o menos) en una isla no habitada es todo lo que necesita para que a pesar de todo, fluyan las cosas ente ellos.
Me gusta mucho que esta autora siempre da 2 epílogos con muchos años de diferencia entre ambos ❤️

Blake and Molly
This is such an original novella. I loved every second of it. The banter and the spice is top notch. Blake and Molly really are made for each other. They get stuck on an island and make the absolute best of it. I loved the story so much, I'll probably read it again soon.

Such a fun novella!
Not too over the top, just enough to not be ridiculous. I only wish that Blake's career was different. I didn't really fit with the story. But other than that, it was such a cute story. Him and Molly were so fun.

I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.
Molly loves being a stewardess for a private airline company, she is called in at the last minute to cover for one of colleagues who is the regular stewardess. And after meeting the client realizes that this is not like any of her usual flights. She had already gathered that the men on this flight expected to be treated a certain way and do far only one of them had been slightly nice to her, however there was no way that anyone could have predicted what happened next. There was no way that she could have known that the only pleasant person on the plane would pull a gun and shoot al the others not that she would have to parachute out of a plane on its way to a watery grave. But when she is trapped on a desert island with her mysterious gorgeous assassin will she be able to ignore the way that he makes her feel and will she learn the truth as to why he killed all of those men?
Blake had planned and replanned how he would take revenge for the death of his father, and today was the day that all of his vengeance comes to an end, he wasn’t expecting Molly. The moment that he stepped on that flight and caught sight of her he knew that he had lost his heart, but he was there to do what he needed to do, and this was his one and only chance to finally get the revenge. Tricking Molly was the easy part but when the plane that there are on is about to crash, he knows that he needs to save them both. But when he realizes that they are going to be sharing a desert island together will he also be able to convince Molly to give a school principal a chance to win her heart after he tells her why he he was on her flight?
I do love Olivia T. Turner’s books they are never dull and this one I really enjoyed. Blake and Molly were totally cute together and watching how they fall in love. It was fun, sweet and steamy perfect to read after a long day. 4.2*

I always make time for OTT's latest release, and she certainly didn't disappoint with this one. Not only did the plot and writing grab me and suck me in, it kept me there, unsure which way I really wanted things to turn out for them. Getting the backstory on Blake about broke my heart, and Molly's reaction just leaned into the characterization that OTT had given both her MCs (giving, caring, protective, supportive, loving).
This was the first of the Castaway Couples series that I have read, but it makes me want to go back and catch up on the other 2 quickly! I did get an ARC of the book, but my review is completely honest and voluntarily.

Molly fills out the private flight for her sick collega, being a stewardess. She is on edge, because the pilot and co pilot seem to be jerks, the uber hot son of Mr. Brambilla surprised her and then she realizes Mr. Brambilla and his six goons really are mafia. His fake son starts to shoot them and she is in the middle of it. The hitman killed them all, but the pilots also died in the shootout. But somehoe the killer does not want to hurt her, but save her. Jumping out of the plane with a parachute they strand on an island.
I loved how Molly ate a cookie while jumping out of the plane with the parachute and her comments in her head. She is feisty and special. Blake recognizes his girl immediately and is sorry to have dragged her into his mess and is determined to make her his and take care of her. I could really picture the scenes in the cave in my head and got a little jealous :o) and they made me laugh. Molly is very accepting of Blake’s murderous actions and normally I would question that, but this is a romantic and steamy insta love story, so it fits.

Molly is a stewardess on a private plane headed for the Cayman Islands. She is taking over for a sick colleague. The pilots on the plane are rude but she is ready to do her job. As Molly is getting the galley ready a man stepped up to her and scared her. He told her he was the son of Salvatore Brambilla. Salvatore is a mafia don and he owns the plane. Molly had a difficult time getting the mafia men to listen to her. The man who was on the plane first came up to her in the galley again and told her to make the security announcement and he followed her into the cabin. Blake is an elementary school principal who has come to get revenge for the death of his father. Salvatore Brambilla killed his father. Blake kills all the mafia men and the pilots got shot too. The plane is going down and they put parachutes on and jump out of the plane. Molly is leery around Blake but they end up having sex. Molly was a virgin. Will Blake and Molly end up falling in love with each other? Will Blake and Molly ever get rescued? Will Blake and Molly find a happy ever after together?

Sometime it take dependency to see what is important.
What I love most about this this book is although Blake was out for vengeance, he knew and understood that Molly was not part of the his plan and that life was bout to change and he was willing to accept it. Molly was in the right place at the wrong time. Once she knew the story of why Blake did what he did, she got the reasoning and knew that his loyalty and love was stronger than anything she could ever experience.
The commitment they made to each other was not really voiced but was so filled with action that coming back to civilization could do nothing but make it better.
I figured they would be saved once they saw the monkeys, yep they wont be here long.
I love the second epilogue cause they came back to the island 25 years later...to recapture the magic (lol). Now, I wonder how many people actually got "stranded" and rescued from the island.

Molly fills in last minute as the stewardess on a private jet. She realizes the passengers on board are mobsters and she must hold her composure. When a handsome man that snuck onto the plane executes everyone on board, Molly is forced to jump from the plane with a parachute strapped to her back. Luckily there is a deserted island to seek shelter at. She comes face-to-face with Blake, the hitman, and they have to stick together to survive. Blake knew the moment he laid eyes on Molly that he would claim her. He will do anything to protect her, care for her, and love her. He was a man obsessed and was set to out to prove he wasn’t really a bad man. As always, OTT provides readers with lots of steamy scenes, romance, and a wonderful happy ending.
Tropes: Insta-love, survival romance, erotic romance, virgin heroine, breeding, happily-ever-after
Heat: 3/5.

Molly and the…hitman?
Molly is a flight attendant on a private jet. Turns out, it’s a mobster and his cronies who are about to meet their end. After Blake shows up and takes the guys out, the plane crashes and our story really begins. Of course Blake is sexy and growly. Of course Molly is sweet and virginal. I never have a problem with those aspects. I quite enjoyed Blake’s inner alpha dialogue about Molly. I also really enjoyed the epilogues. OTT always gives us great epilogues.
I guess my peeve comes in with Blake. We are told he’s a hitman. Um, no. He’s most definitely not. He a principal at a school who wants to exact revenge. Which is fine, but not the book I was sold overall. This was a fine read, as always, but I wish it had been clearer that Blake isn’t some shady mob hitman who leads a dangerous life. He’s actually quite the softy. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 because I’m generous like that.

A short & sweet. A wonderful story by Olivia T Turner, I am enjoying her books. I am looking forward to reading more of her books. I couldn't put this book down until I finished it. The story was well written. The characters were believable. I liked Blake & Molly from the beginning. The polits were jerks and so were the passenger's that the plane belonged to. I think that they got what they deserved. I love how Blake fell in love with Molly at frist sight & he would/ did everything to protect her from getting hurt, he even kept her from drowning when they had to parachute out of the plane cause it was going to crash. I loved the ending & I loved this book can't wait to read the rest in this series. If you want to find out what happens you need to read this. I highly recommend this book don't pass it up.

This is the 3rd book in the Castaway Couples series featuring Blake and Molly's short and steamy age-gap insta-love romance. Molly fills in for a sick stewardess on a private jet and while she's getting the cabin ready for the flight Blake appears and frightens her. Blake lets Molly know that he is Salvatore Brambilla's son and then he disappears letting her get back to her work even though he's captivated by her and he knew as soon as he saw her that she was the one meant for him. Molly is drawn to Blake as well but then he reappears and starts shooting the men on board the plane causing the plane to go down. Molly is stranded on a desert island with Blake can she trust him? Will she fall for him like he has for her? Will she be able to forgive him killing the men from the plane to seek revenge for his family? You really need to read this age-gap insta-love romance to see what happens. I would recommend reading this book.

The action scene on the airplane was great. Good descriptions of what was going down; I love a hero who shoots up bad guys. But Molly drove me nuts. I understood she was initially in shock, but good grief, woman, put your big-girl pants on. She fights everything Blake does to save her, and when they get to the island, she fusses and throws pity parties. She eventually calms down in the second half, thankfully, but I never did get what Blake saw in her. But I loved Blake himself. He was brave and efficient, and often the only one getting any actual work done on the island. And again, I’m a sucker for a hero who’s unrepentant about taking out bad guys. He just has lousy taste in women, but that’s okay. And, of course, this being an Olivia T. Turner book, their first time together, and the breeding kink, were super hot. In short, I loved everything about the book except the heroine.

Book 3 in the Desert Island series and can be read as a standalone.
This one was different from the others in this series. This was a revenge story. An assassin takes out the mob boss and his team which results in causing their plane to crash. He then rescues the pretty flight attendant who just witnessed the murders and now they are trapped on a desert island together.
I enjoyed this and all three stories very much. Each story was different and interesting in its own right. What I will say is that in parts (a lot of the sexy scenes) they do tend to feel a bit repetitive and similar to each other in all three books kinda all felt the same in some aspects.
Another OTT steam, instalove with a HEA.

Molly is not entirely sure that she's at all happy with the fact she has been draughted in to cover a sick colleague. She was initially excited about working on the private jet but so far the pilots, the owner and his cronies have all been pretty horrible to her. The only one who has been even remotely pleasant just upped and shot everyone. Great, just great! Blake was not anticipating having his heart stolen when he arrived to finish his mission of vengence. Yet there it is, no longer his and most definitely in the possession of the beautiful stewardess. Would she be able to look at him with anything other than disgust when he tells her what he's done? Has he lost his girl before he even had her?

Paradise Cove Adventure
Molly is a flight attendant on a private jet filled with Mobsters. One of the passengers, Blake, turns out to be a hitman who takes out all the monsters. Next, they are parachuting out of the plane onto a deserted island.
Molly doesn’t know if she can trust Blake, he did just kill a whole plane full of people, but he’s all she has in her current predicament. Blake is completely in love with Molly and will do anything to keep her safe. Soon enough they stop fighting the inevitable.
This was a cute, short adventure. Danger and action right out of the chute. Good read that kept me interested.

Love can be strong and immediate.
I loved this instalove story. It was entertaining and enjoyable although there was some violence. The characters were easy to relate to and likable for the most part. The absolute dedication that Blake had was incredible even though it wasn’t “right” the way that he made sure that the people that took his father away paid. Molly and Blake met while she was preparing snacks on the plane she was going to be working on. They were instantly attracted to each other but they both had things that they needed to do. There was some drama, angst, laughs, and love. I loved their happily ever after. I recommend reading this book.
