Stella Woods has just quit her job. And there’s nothing like a little vacation at her sister’s Floridian mansion to contemplate her future. Unfortunately, Stella’s brother-in-law mixed up her arrival date and has already offered the pool house to his best friend. Brooks Larsen wasn’t looking for anything but a good time when he came to visit his old college friend. Only, he hadn’t expected his … expected his buddy would have a gorgeous woman waiting for him—in nothing but a towel—just minutes after he arrives.
Realizing things could be worse, Stella agrees to make the best of a bad situation. As the days go by, Brooks and Stella can’t fight their budding attraction.
And when the end of their time together approaches, the pair are left frustrated. He thinks she’s the one. She wishes he wanted more.
But neither shares their feelings.
Because this was only supposed to be just a fling.

Awesome! I’ve volunteered to review this book for United Indie Book Blog. This is my first time reading one of A. K. Evans books. This is the fourth book in the Road Trip Romance series. This is Brooks and Stella’s story. Stella was going on a vacation. But there was a mixed up on the dates. Now Stella is sharing the place with Brooks. All Stella wanted was to spend time with her sister but her brother-n-law got the dates wrong. Brooks is best friend with Stella’s brother-n-law. What started out to be a summer fling turned out to be more. I loved Stella and Brooks from the beginning. This story is charming, funny and emotional at times. You need to get this to find out what happens between Stella and Brooks. Keep up the awesome job! Can’t wait to read more from you.
A mix up in dates has Stella and Brooks becoming vacation roomies and so much more! It was supposed to be a fling between two adults. Neither was in a place to look for more. Neither wanted to deal with a long distance relationship. But, what started as no strings attached started to feel like so much more to both of them very quickly.
Add in some miscommunications . . . they both feel like the other thinks it’s temporary and the end of two blissful weeks, and Brooks and Stella find themselves saying goodbye rather than going long distance, leaving them both miserable.
But, when fate, and a rotten ex, brings them together again, they have a second chance at more than just a fling!
This couple is just too cute and too sweet together. Brooks is such a good and amazing guy. He doesn’t think he can stay emotionally unattached, but wants Stella any way he can get her, even if it is temporary. He’s completely all in with wanting more, but says goodbye because he thinks it is what Stella wants. And, Stella wears her emotions on her face and her heart on her sleeve. She falls hard and fast for Brooks but does her best to hide it from him because she thinks that some summer fun is all he wants.
Good old-fashioned missed cues and missed communications made Just a Fling a fun, flirty and sweet romance. 4 stars!
This was such a cute book, very predictable but fun to read! I loved Stella and Brooks from the beginning and was rooting for them together ! What started out as a fling turned into so much more! I loved every minute of this book and probably need to read the other books in this series!!
was given this ARC in return for an honest review.
This is not the first book I have read by this author, though it is the first book I have read in the Road Trip series. This book is number 4 in the series but can be read as a standalone.
If you are looking for a quick easy read, one that you can read in one sitting then this book is for you. It flows really well and the characters all are really lovely, I would totally hang at the beach with them and holiday romances are one of my favourite tropes.
This story is about 2 people that are flung together by chance and work out pretty fast that they like each other. Can they get over the obstacles in their way to be together, you will just have to read this sweet book to find out.
Great twist in the middle, completely unexpected but fitted the story perfectly.
Thanks for another awesome read, I will now have to add the first 3 of the series to my TBR pile.
What a great story! I really enjoyed this book and loved the characters. Stella and Brooks have such amazing chemistry together and their time together was so sweet. They both decided that their attraction was too much to ignore and that they would spend the 2 weeks they have on vacation together and then go their separate ways.
However, feeling start to develop and neither one is ready to let the other own know because they both believe that the other one isn’t going to want more.
Throw in some unexpected drama thanks to a no good ex and this book will have you hooked from start to finish.
One click this ASAP for sure!

I loved how it all started with a mishap between friends.
I can’t wait for more.
If you are looking for a quick HEA this book is for you! The Road Trip series a great series that takes you all over! Stella and Brooks happily ever after is a great story! Must read!
I’m a huge fan of this series so I always get excited when a new book comes out. I wasn’t disappointed. Once I started I couldn’t stop reading. I love that these books are all standalone books but have a unique theme. Travel and new destinations. But more importantly it’s the journey they take to get there where it’s different. Brooks and Stella had a magical connection and Altho it took time for them to get to the place where they could do something about it long term it was a wonderful journey seeing them finally get there. It had some really heart warming moments along the way too. My heart hurt for Liv and Jake and I absolutely loved the bonus scenes ms Evans gives us. It’s like the icing on the cake.
Stella and Brooks are so determined to delude themselves into believing that they could ever be JUST a fling that I wanted to laugh to them. Both Stella and Brooks need a break that involves sun, sand, and relaxation with people they care about. The only problem? One of their hosts didn’t pay enough attention to dates and now they’re sharing a place for a few weeks. Since attractions are strong on both parts, they decide to give a fling a chance. After all, it’s just a vacation and feelings aren’t involved, right? Wrong. SO wrong. But Stella and Brooks and their pull to each other couldn’t possibly have worse timing because they agreed it’s JUST A FLING. But when their time is over, they’ll have to either let it go or figure out a way to give a real relationship a try.
The dread of the end of the fling and the feeling of wanting more but being afraid to ask for it made this story un-put-downable to me. I knew that I wouldn’t be steered wrong, but OH how I worried, even knowing that this author wouldn’t yank my heart out for kicks. It’s stories like this one that keep me coming back for more, every single time!
