Read Rebecca Hunter’s second book in her Fantasy Island miniseries! Welcome back to the luxurious Kalani resort…where every wish is a naughty command. Jessie Van Buren has to get through the vacation her sister booked for her. A week of incredible surfing in gorgeous Hawaii? She can handle that. Then she can get back to the business of finding funding for her new app and taking the tech world … tech world by storm. But when tall, tanned and deliciously tattooed surfer Byron Keahi literally steals her wave, all her sexual self-control goes along with it.
It turns out that this wish-fulfillment resort knows exactly what their guests need. And Byron has an uncanny gift for granting her every wicked request… For the first time in her life, Jessie is learning to ask for what she wants–and to savor every moment. Only Byron isn’t just some surfer dude. He’s the billionaire owner of the resort, and there’s definitely an expiration date on this explosively hot little game. When it ends, Jessie will be down to one last wish. But will Byron be able to satisfy her every need…body and heart?

Emotionally thrilling roller coaster filled with exciting and engaging charters, witty dialog, heart racing twists and undeniable passion that will not be ignored…. was and edge of your set thrilling journey. Really enjoyed this highly entertaining adventure.
Oh, this was sizzling and it in the middle of Hawaii! Byron and Jessie have amazing chemistry and their tryst goes from zero to 100 so fast I had whiplash. But that’s because the writer wrote them so well, there was no denying their attraction. I couldn’t put this down.
This was a very good book. It’s well written and the storyline was enjoyable. I liked Byron but Jessie grated on my nerves a few times. There’s a difference between liking control and having issues with control. Jessie seems more like someone who has a serious problem with control due to the way she viewed her relationship. She got it in her mind that all men especially those with money want to control women.
Byron and Jessie meet the first time when they’re both out surfing and Byron almost dropped in on her wave. She slings a lot of attitude and sass at Byron. They start to get a little flirty. She leaves and Byron starts to wonder if she’s staying at his resort. He finds out that she is, and they end up seeing each other again. She mistakes him for an employee at the resort at first but eventually Byron is able to set her straight that he is CFO for the company that owns the resort. Jessie decides that there is little harm in having a fling. They live on opposite sides of the country, so it’ll end when he or she leaves the resort. He starts to fall for Jessie though and would like to see where the relationship would go but leaves the ball in her court. Will Jessie and Byron be able to compromise?

Part of the A Holiday Fling Romance/Fantasy Island series a well written story that held my interest until the end. I enjoyed reading Jessie Van Buren and tattooed surfer Byron Keahi’s story. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
A very cute story. It was totally different than what I thought in terms of roles (you’ll see when you read it), but it was super hot and sexy. The chemistry between Jessie and Byron was white hot which led to so many steamy scenes. The banter the two of them had will make you smile (or whimper), and you anxiously read and hope that they will reach their HEA. Bryon is so sweet and so romantic that you will wish he belonged to you (or teach your man how to do it right)! This book was fun to read!

Loved this story. From the moment I start to read, I couldn’t put it away.
Jessie and Byron, both are workaholics. They have passion for surfing.
Both knows what they want.
Great story.
This was quite an enjoyable read. The characters were both well developed, and had their own issues to face while looking for the one. It was refreshing to have to read that they both had to make compromises, and find out what really worked for them. The secondary characters were also important. The imagery of the island was well described in the story.

I loved this delightful vacation romance!
As steamy and relaxing as a hot tub on the beach, this romance massages all the feel-good spots in your soul as Jessie and Byron find true love at his resort. Right from the start we know there’s something different about the dynamics they bring to their union. The secret to love is finding the one person who fits you perfectly, and that’s exactly what Jessie and Byron find in each other.
Jessie, having experienced the way powerful men overran her Silicon Valley startup, needs to maintain control in order to feel secure. Byron, a CFO being groomed for the CEO position, needs to escape from always being in charge. This quote sums up the freedom they found in each other:
“I know it’s untraditional, but so are we. We don’t have to make our life look like other people’s.”
I absolutely adored the Princess Bride references. Like Westley, Byron would conquer the world for Jessie, and nothing made him happier than to serve her every wish. I loved how he started working on her “list” before even realizing it existed, and it was refreshing to see that they didn’t fall into the predictable trap of misunderstanding intentions due to lack of communication. It was nice to see a man who wasn’t even tempted to “rescue” her company, even though he had the means to do so, because he knew she wanted her success to stand on its own.
I loved the descriptions of surfing, the intensity of their attraction to each other, and the very satisfying HEA. I thoroughly enjoyed this return trip to the Kalani Resort and hope to revisit again soon. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
