Riley, Tasha and Sherry were best friends who had never gone on “Spring Break.” So, to celebrate Sherry’s upcoming wedding they went on their “Spring Break” experience as her Bachelorette Party in South Padre Island.

Tasha was having a REALLY good time. Ended up dating the twin brothers she met when she moved back to New York. Sherry had been a good girl and staid true to her fiancé and Riley, who was the shy, librarian wallflower at home, met Dante and decide she was going to enjoy herself.

Eight weeks later she was sick for 2 weeks and thought she might be pregnant. (She said she didn’t know much about Dante except his body). She asked Tasha and Sherry to come over to help with the “emergency.” She tried two pregnancy tests and, yep, she was 8 weeks pregnant and Dante was the father.

Riley has no idea where Dante lives since she admits she didn’t know anything about him but she knew his body well, Tasha offers to contact the twins, Seth and Shane who are his friends, but Riley asks her to wait until she decides what she wants to do.

By Monday morning, the pregnancy test had been Friday night, Riley had decided to keep the baby. Tasha had snuck onto Seth’s cell phone and got Dante’s number for riley.

The following weekend Sherry has bachelorette #2, for fiancé’s family, work friends and non “inner circle” friends, which was being held at a strip club “Bird of Paradise.”

Now we find out that Dante has lost Riley’s number. Seth wants to get it from Tash because he knows riley doesn’t have Dante’s number. Dante’s basic response “If she wanted to see me, she could get my number from Tasha.”

Seth thinks Dante needs to man up and have him find out her number.

While the girls are “ogling” dancers at the Bird of Paradise Riley is getting tires. Tasha tells her she will take her home after the last act, as she keeps looking at the door. Finally, Riley looks over and sees Seth, Sean and Ty (who had been the one drinking shots out of Sherry’s belly button).

Tasha tells Riley that Shane had texted her earlier saying they were going out for drinks and meeting Dante. Riley thinks Tasha told them to come to Bird of Paradise. But when the final act comes out and twirls around the pole on the front stage Riley realizes why they are there. The “King of Love” twirling around the pole stops in “all his glory” towards the audience and it’s Dante.

Oh, THIS should be an interesting evening . . ..

Riley and her friend are in Texas for Spring Break to celebrate her friends bachelorette party. While partying they meet up with Dante and his friends. Dante and Riley connect with each other and end up spending a lot of time together. They exchange numbers before they leave to return to their homes however their was a mix up with the numbers so neither ended up calling the other. Weeks later Riley ended up deathly sick and turned up pregnant. Her friend was still in contact with one of Dante’s friend’s so she got his number however before Riley could call him she got an even bigger shock. Her friend has a night out for her family and friend locally for her bachelorette party and they ended up at a strip club and the dancer on the stage was none other than Dante. Would Riley tell him that she was having his baby?

This is a great story once I started it I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this story to any book lover.

Angel Devlin filled the pages of His Bird of Paradise with enough heart and wit to make this one of my favorite May Flowers books. Riley is a shy woman who’s in Texas for her friend, Sherry’s, bachelorette party. Emboldened by her friends, she decides that she will be shy no more and really lets loose! She and Dante light up the night in every way, but when Riley leaves for home, she finds out that Dante has left her with a special gift. They didn’t get phone numbers to contact each other but the friends come to the rescue. Once again, they all go back to The Bird of Paradise lounge and who should take center stage in all his glory but Dante. All his glory! What fun and I couldn’t help but laugh through my happy sighs. A marvelous addition to this Flirt Club collection of stories from super authors.

Beautiful story.

This is an excellent story. Riley goes to Texas with her friend’s for Sherry’s bachelorette party. She meets Dante and decides no to be shy wall flower Riley, but bold fierce Riley and she hooks up with Dante. When he doesn’t call her after returning home she chalks it up to him not being interested in anything more. But come to find out she left with a souvenir that she’s not she she’ll be telling Dante about. Grab this wonderful story to find out if Riley truly is Dante’s Bird of Paradise. Great read and I highly recommend it!

In this flirty novella a shy Riley goes on a spring break bachelorette party and meets the devilishly handsome outgoing Dante. They spend the week together having fun and promising to hook up back in New York. They are very different personalities and it would take some time to overcome their differences. Is it possible?

This is a delightful short romances with some heat and hot scenes. The author tells the love story extremely well in a short novella. This book is part of a twelve book series called May Flowers. Each book is penned by a different writer giving each book its own flavour. I like this book because the characters had to reveal their true selves, something people have a hard time doing. If your looking for a quick easy flirty love story to read, try this one.

This is a very short story as part of the Flirt Club’s May Flower collaboration.
It starts off by going back to one of the previous stories, the Spring Break story where we briefly met Riley and Dante. We don’t really know what goes on with them as that book was about Tasha and her twins. So it is really lovely that we get to follow them after they get home and to find out what happens.
Riley has had a bit of a shock and needs to get a hold of Dante. When they get together, they rekindle the attraction that they felt over Spring Break, but this time they get to know each other properly (out of bed)!
The story is very short, so there isn’t a mass amount of goings-on, but they do have a lovely ending.
I’d very much like to look up Shelly’s story to see how she met her husband to be. I didn’t read the collaborations when that one was doing the rounds so, before the potential wedding in next month’s book, I definitely need to go and read her story.
Overall, this was an enjoyable quick book that tied in characters that have been met before.

For Dante and Riley, it was lust at first sight. Until fate and love stepped in. Devlin hits all the right notes for a burning hot romance. Hormones and heart collide, when two strangers get wild and naughty. One night of pleasure changes the course of two lives.

After an out of character Bridal Shower/ Spring Break trip. Cause everything that happens in Texas stays in Texas, or not so much. Your hook up koses your number, and you won’t call a dude first. Until well you kind of need too! This story was Spontaneous and Out of the Norm for Riley but Dante made it good…real good
