I couldn’t put down All I Want by Tamara Lush. I had to read what was happening with Kate & Damien, but also Lauren and how her stay unfolded. Tamara Lush has a flair for her descriptive story telling beach style and I truly hope there is more to the Paradise Beach Series.
Lauren the nomad is quick to try and help her best friend Kate, but there is a longing that she has, but with a faux pas mishap at her friend’s dinner party, the man of her dreams, can she find the solace and the true life she wants or will a certain someone ruin her for life?
Max Hastings the oldest of the family and best man to his brother Damien has returned only to do one thing Sell the family resort, but soon his life is turned upside down by a tsunami of a woman and the way she makes him feel. But can he calm the seas and win her love or will he be a lost ship in a sea of the unknown?
Definitely worth reading. If you are looking for a short but steamy read then this is exactly the book for you. This is the second book in the series and I have to say the author definitely did not disappoint. This book was really great and once you start reading you won’t stop until you’re finished. Highly recommended.
All I Want (Paradise Beach #1) was a good read by Tamara Lush. Lauren Spencer is a social media influencer who wants to find out why her best friend is getting married on a whim. She’s traveling to Paradise Beach to stop the wedding, but comes to a halt when she sees a gorgeous naked guy in her hotel room. He also happens to be the grooms uptight brother, who’s also the best man. Max Hasting’s is a workaholic who is back in his hometown of Paradise Beach, trying to get his parents resort for sale and to attend his brothers wedding. Lauren and Max cant fight their attraction to each other. I enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.
This was my first time listening to this narrator. She did a great job and I was captivated the entire time.
I enjoyed the storyline & the characters. I loved the feeling of belonging and the banter between the siblings & parents
I’ll definitely continue with this series
Talk about an entertaining ending! I laughed my butt off but I should probably start t the beginning.
All I Want is a whirlwind romance between the best man and the maid of honor in the whirlwind romance All I Know. The second book in the Paradise Beach series is just as hot, just as sweet, and of course has Chunky.
Enjoy the perks of the resort! I know I certainly did! I look forward to more “connections” in Paradise Beach.
This story can be read as a stand-alone but it’s better to read the first one to understand more who are the secondary characters and the setting of the story.
I found this book more enjoyable than the first one and maybe because the characters are different, they are more mature and act accordingly.
A very steamy banter and encounters, a suspenseful moment and some life decisions for the future towards a happily ever after.
i love this book i couldnt put this book down … love the character chemistry between them .. will the fling continue past the weeding weekend or not .. must read book
All I Want is Book 2 in the Paradise Beach Series. You can read as a standalone, but characters spill over from book 1, so I think it would be better to read in order. This book is about Lauren and Max. Lauren gets a call to be maid of honor in her best friend Kate’s wedding to Damien (Book 1) that is taking place in a couple of weeks. Lauren comes to Paradise Beach wanting to stop the wedding because she did not understand how anyone can fall in love that quickly. She quickly has a crazy encounter with Damien’s brother, Max who is the Best Man. Max is also highly skeptical of this wedding. Lauren and Max have an instant attraction and chemistry between them. Max doesn’t normally do a fling, but they agree to a weekend fling. Lauren sees Damien and Kate and can see how in love they are with each other, although Kate confesses a little about the wedding to Lauren. Max is a big real estate tycoon in NYC, but has come back to Paradise to sell the family hotel. Lauren is a social media influencer. Lauren begins to feel more at home and realizes she misses friendships and people in her chosen profession. Max realizes he is more relaxed and content in Paradise Beach than he is in NYC. Max is a workaholic, but with Lauren, he is the perfect boyfriend. He really takes care of her emotionally and physically when she is down. I’d like a guy like him in my life! Can these two opposites make a go of the relationship? Will they be able to communicate their true feelings to each other? Will their intense lust and combusting chemistry be enough for them to have more than a fling? You need to read on to see. I love the characters, am glad I got to know more about Damien and Kate, and the rest of the Bennett family. I so look forward to the next in the series about Tate and of course revisiting the characters I’ve already come to love.
I’m loving this series. The family relationships, friendships, humor, steaminess, self growth and pursuing your dreams! I think I’d like to try out some time on Paradise Beach!
“I have four rules. Don’t ghost. Don’t lie. Be a gentleman. Turn into an animal, when needed.”
Can anyone on Paradise Beach tame this workaholic, alpha?
This was my first Tamera Lush book, but it won’t be my last. I loved this story between Max and Lauren, the struggle to overcome personal fears, careers, family dynamics, and friendships. The supporting characters and surrounding friendships were written well, full and fun. This is a steamy, sweet, funny read! Five Plus stars!
I absolutely love this book, the second in Tamara Lush’s Paradise Beach series. The female MC, Lauren, is this amazingly complicated strong heroine who also has a very vulnerable side. She travels the world as a social media influencer, and it was really fun getting a look at that job and lifestyle – let’s just say it’s not all fun and glamor, and behind the face Lauren show to the world there’s some real anxiety and a good bit of loneliness. She’s my ideal heroine – someone who is used to solving her own problems and is fiercely independent, but is also incredibly loyal. The kind of person you can count on to have your back – even though some people in her past didn’t exactly look out for her.
Max is all the good things I look for in a hero. He’s HOT, successful, and loyal to his family. He’s the kind of hero who is strong and confident (runs his own real estate empire in NYC) but always treats the heroine with respect and doesn’t act like his power and wealth make him better than anyone else.
Lauren and Max have lots of issues to work through to find their HEA (of course!) and at times things look pretty bleak, but you’ll be rooting for them to get there – I sure was!
Absolutely loved this book. Kept me wanting more and did not disappoint at at all. Highly recommend this book series.
“All I Want” is the second book from Tamara Lush’s Paradise Beach series. It is a well-written story that is both hip and modern. It takes place on a small island off the coast of Florida, where the locals are very welcoming. This was an immediate read for me after I finished book one.
Social media influencer Lauren Spencer, has come to Paradise Beach to attend her best friend’s quickly arranged wedding. The best man, Max Hastings, is the groom’s older brother, and he is the first person to formally greet Lauren. Lauren finds him naked in her hotel room, and as uncomfortable as the situation is, they share an instant attraction. Max’s family owns the hotel. He is a very successful real estate broker in New York City, and he is temporarily living at the resort while he gets it ready to be sold.
When Lauren fractures her ankle, it is Max who comes to her rescue. Their lust for each other evolves into much more, as Max basically nurses her back to health. Their sexy times are hot, both in and out of the bedroom. Both of them are commitment phobic, however, love and understanding does conquer all.
This is a nicely-paced story with well-defined and identifiable characters. This novel incorporates a few emotional elements, and Max’s family adds depth and some humor. Lauren’s childhood was sad, which causes her to be quite vulnerable at times. If you are looking for a contemporary romance with an engaging plot and a happily-ever-after that will leave a smile on your face, this book is for you.

All I Want is a sweet, and sexy insta-love story. This was the perfect rainy day story, it was quick, fun, and so entertaining. The characters Lauren and Max were so good together. Looking forward to the next book in this series.
I received this book from Netgalley.
Steamy, and sweet.
This is the second book in the Paradise Beach series, and the story of Max, and Lauren. Although this book can be read as a standalone, the story does continue from the first book, where we meet Damien, Max’s brother, and Kate, Lauren’s best friend. Kate, and Damien are getting married, Lauren is Kate’s maid of honor, but she thinks Kate is making a mistake, and she has intentions of stopping the wedding. But when she arrives in Florida for the weeding, she is find a very naked Max in her hotel room, and the sparks fly. Max wants Lauren, and acting on her attraction, Lauren agrees to spending the weekend in his bed, but what happens when the weekend isn’t enough, and Max wants more? This was a sweet romantic story, passionate, steamy, emotional and entertaining.
An engaging story with wonderful caring characters. The story is unusual with some interesting twists. I liked that everything wasn’t all roses and sunshine but had real life problems. I have not read the first story in the series but but will probably go back and do so.
Stephanie Savannah is as good job narrating.
I recieved a free Audible copy of this story, at my request, in exchange for a honest review.
Lauren arrives to paradise to see why her bestie is getting hitched in a hurry.
What she finds is the best man , Max , who is the grooms brother.
They agree to a weekend wedding fling. But with hot settings, hotties and steamy scenes can it last longer than a weekend.
Great read in the second in the standalone. Really enjoyed this story, characters and the paradise setting. Great beach read.
This was a great read. I love the dynamics between Lauren and Max. I just wished there was more.
The second book in the Paradise Beach series, All I want, is a fabulous sequel to All I Know. Lauren will go to Paradise Beach with a mission, but things have a way derailing even the best laid plans. Max and Lauren are great together and they definitely steam up the pages. I am really enjoying these books and recommend you try them yourself.
This is book 2 in the Paradise Beach series. I really enjoyed this book. I couldn’t put it down. Lauren is best friends with Kate. Lauren is away on assignment and gets a call saying her friend needed her because she was about to get married. Lauren goes to figure it out and comes upon Max. The chemistry between these 2 are hot. Great series!
