From the author of Constant Craving comes a hilarious story about a woman who feels obligated to care for everyone, a sexy Marine who wants to make his first love his forever bride, and a fake wedding proposal that changes everything.Kate Cooper has come home to Paradise Beach to help her mom recover from surgery. After all, who else is going to run the family’s tiki bar? A few months on a … on a Florida island won’t hurt her, even if her memories might.
Then Damien Hastings, her high school crush, walks into the bar one night. He’s stunning. Intense. Way more muscular than when they were in high school. And he can’t take his eyes off Kate.
And when Damien finds out that Kate needs health insurance, he does what any gentleman would: ask her to marry him. He’s going to Syria for a year as a military contractor, and he’s loved her for years. It’s the least he can do.
They didn’t return to fall in love. They didn’t expect to have the best sex of their lives. They didn’t plan on a farting dog or a fake engagement.
But strange and wonderful things often happen on Paradise Beach…

All I know is the prequel book in Tamara Lush’s new series called Paradise Beach. First let me say that this is a new author to me, and boy have I’ve been missing out on her books. I thought this was a nice, light and easy, second chance story. I liked Kate and Damien, they had good chemistry. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
I received this book from Netgalley.
I enjoyed this book so much! Kate returns to her home town to help her mom run the family tiki bar while she is recovering from surgery. Not soon after returning home she runs into her high school crush Damien. He is looking fine and their old attraction to each other only grows.
As these two are only home temporarily a Damien is set to go over sees for a year. They work on reestablishing a new relationship.
With humor, drama and miscommunication as well as a time limit this
Makes for a great read.
I enjoyed every page of this standalone and look forward to the next in the series.
I really enjoyed this book. It was very sweet and a nice change from the angsty books I usually read. I also love second chance romances and this kept a smile on my face. I will definitely read more by this author.
All I Know was a great read. The story has spice and a second chance love story. I know this is a first book in a series but this book at the end felt very in finished for the characters and how they will endure the next phase. I will read on.
Such a GREAT book! I loved watching Kate & Damien rekindle their old high school crush, and finally have what they wanted back then. They had to deal with some struggles, but overall their chemistry and banter kept me hooked!!! 5 HUGE stars!
Childhood love finally comes to fruition. True love waiting to be known. Great love story.
This was a nice read. Something light for a day at that beach.
This was my first Tamara Lush’s book, and won’t be my last. This is the first book in The Paradise Beach Series. This is a great start to this Series. Kate and Damien’s second chance to love story is sweet, fun, and sexy, with a little drama. The secondary characters are also great, and the scenery beautiful! I have read an ARC of this story before, and I enjoyed listening to it. Avie Paige, Paul Stefano did a great job with the narration. Now, I can’t wait for the next book in the Series, All I Want, Lauren and Max’s story, hopefully with an update to Kate and Damien’s story!
This was a nice read. In my opinion, this one ended too soon. There is a promise of a bonus epilogue but you have to “click” something to get it. Kate is running her mom’s tiki bar while she recovers from surgery and has chemo. One night her high school crush, Damien, comes in for a drink and sparks fly. Kate and Damien begin a relationship. Kate has genetically high cholesterol and her medication is thousands a month and also requires a procedure to clean the bad cholesterol from her blood a couple of times per month and is currently uninsured. Damien is a security contractor in war torn areas and offers to marry Kate so she can be covered under his insurance. Kate loves him but is afraid to admit it to him unsure of his feelings.
A beautiful short read that leaves your heart happy! I loved that these two picked up where they left off! No hurt, no anger just pure happiness to reconnect with an old friend! I wouldn’t call them insta love because it took some time but their feelings where there and they didn’t shy away!
I loved Damien and Kate as well as the secondary characters and I can’t wait to see what this series has in store!
This was a short quick read.
I like the second chance at love theme but All I know is more the confirmation that the main characters never stopped to want explore their attraction and to confirm the chemistry between them even if they didn’t see each other in a long time.
Kate is back to Paradise Beach to help her mom with chemo and doctor appointments and her beach bar.Damien is back to Paradise Beach for three months before his work as a security contractor brings him to Syria.
They meet one night at the end of Kate shift at her mum tiki bar and in a few minutes after a few words the attraction sparks and they start an easy relationship but their happy days are numbered.Will their feelings be stronger than the distance?Or their relationship will be soon only a memories?
I liked to follow these characters journey and when I reached the last page I wished there was something more…so be sure I’ll keep reading this series in order to know more ofthe other characters and to also have a glimpse of Kate and Damien’s future.
This was a quick, sweet story. Damien and Kate had an almost-but-never-really thing in high school and haven’t seen each other in a decade since then. Their buildup to Damien’s proposal is a slow and natural one, but it still seemed that his and Kate’s story and relationship flew by because I had to see what each coming page and chapter had to offer. It was light on the drama and heavy on humor and two people who never really fell out of love reconnecting. I’ll be interested to see what comes next in this series.
Kate comes home and she sees her high school crush Damien & he offers her the one thing she needs so she can get the help she needs can she give him a 2nd chance?
All I Know is the first book I have read by this author and I really liked it. I loved Damian, he was swoony and sexy. Kate was sweet. Damian and Kate had great chemistry and scorching sexy scenes! I loved them together! Looking forward to reading more in this series!
Oh yes yes yes. This is my first book by this author but it definitely won’t be my last. A wonderful beginning to a great series. This book had everything I needed to get me out of my book funk. It was sweet, funny and steamy, which is always a great combination. Looking forward to next book in this series. A fantastic book and highly recommended.
All I know by Tamara Lush is a great quick read. I couldn’t put it down and read the book in one day. I enjoyed how she wrote Kate and Damien to be funny and so in love even after all the time apart.
When two people who have a special connection like Kate Cooper and Damien Hastings; space and time can’t keep their love for each other at bay. So when they see one another again will the spark still be there? Or will the flames of love burn so bright they will never be extinguished or will it fizzle and burn out forever?
This was a fantastic book! Although I wish it could have been a bit longer, it was still a great story! I love second chance romances, and Kate and Damien’s characters were perfect! I can’t wait to see what comes next in this series!
This is the first time I have read this author and will not be the last!! This is such a sweet read that begins 10 years after their high school crushes started and stopped abruptly. They are great together and have an easy going relationship. Great characters, story line keeps you invested from start to finish, great secondary characters and sweet acts from Damien make this a great read. I was somewhat disappointed at the ending, but I hope the next book makes up for that and gives us an update from Kate and Damien.
What a sweet quick read a friends to lovers story.
Kate and Damien had a high school crush that never got to be explored because Kate got bullied over a terrible rumor and Damien stood up for her but pushed away because he thought he was protecting Kate. 10 years later he walks into Kate’s moms bar and the heat and fireworks explode. Now that they’re adults they fulfill all their high school fantasies. Damien learns some facts about Kate and decides to take their relationship to the next level to protect Kate.
I struggled a bit with the beginning of this book and then it really picked up and couldn’t put it down and started to really love their story only to feel like it ended abruptly and left a bunch of things unanswered. I’m hoping there is a part two to Damien and Kate while it doesn’t really end I on a cliffhanger there is so much that is left unanswered.
2.5 Stars Usually I’m all for childhood crushes to lovers stories but this was so…stilted. The ending was so rushed they barely even said the L word and it was done, none of the actual reasons for the “fake” wedding ever got resolved and like…now what??
