This was a great story! Jake Carson is a professional surfer. He is arrogant, cocky, and has chicks lining up for him. But Jake is totally into Eden Brady, blonde, knockout model. The number one person in Eden’s life is her big brother, Zeke. Problem lies that Jake and Zeke are arch enemies and Zeke is very protective of his little sis.

But something happens and Jake and Eden are thrown together and they spend their time exploring and getting to know each other. Will Zeke stand in the way of their happiness?
This series is fun to read. Each month we get a hot guy paired with a strong woman. They are so different that it makes you excited to read the next one.
Jake is a world class surfer. He is at the top of his game and loving life. Eden is the sister of his biggest competition. Her brother is over protective and stays in her business. He hates Jake, not only because he always beats him but because he knows that Jake wants Eden. Eden also hates Jake, or so she thinks. Eden has secrets and Jake wants to know all. After an almost tragedy, things begin to change. It was fun watching the love/hate turn to love. I look forward to more.

Jake has earned his reputation as a world class surfer. He may compete with Zeke when it comes to surfing but the surfers share an honor code where they don’t get involved with other surfer sisters however Zeke’s sister Eden may just be worth breaking the code for.
Eden may be attracted to Jake, but he has a way of irritating her like no other which is just as well since he and her brother are rivals. When Jake rescues her from a dangerous situation she realizes that there is much more to Jake than she realized but is she willing to cross the line and risk the ire of her brother?
I am really enjoying the Calendar Boys series and can’t wait for June.
As in the previous books in this calendar series, the author created another wonderful romance with likable characters and interesting plots. This story of Jake and Eden took us into the fascinating competitive surfing world and left us wanting more. A wonderful read!

This newest addition to the Calendar boys series was a fun story. Full of humor and banter from start to finish with just the right amount of heat that made for an enjoyable read. Jake’s character with his arrogance and sweetness matched Eden’s independence as she wants to explore the forbidden. You need to read this today!
I love the “Calendar Boys” series and this one was definitely right there with the rest of them. I really enjoyed this fun and sometimes entertaining story! Jake and Eden are perfect for each other. Love both of the main characters as well as some of the secondary ones. Jake, who is definitely one sexy cocky surfer dude, has a rivalry with Eden’s brother Zeke. So a relationship between Jake and Eden is somewhat forbidden. So Jake hides a major attraction to Eden by being obnoxious and cocky. However, soon after the incident you realize their is more to him than meets the eye. I really love this story and the dialogue is fantastic.
An outstanding and compelling read! The storyline is well-developed, emotionally deep, well written, and relatable. It is drama-filled, funny, and witty; a fun fast pace page-turner that is intriguing with some ups and downs. Amazing characters – Jake and Eden; they are cocky (Jake), strong, and just perfect for each other; the chemistry between them is intense and hot. Quite an enjoyable read and is strongly recommended.

Nicole has done it again! She has given us one hell of a story! A forbidden love romance that will hit you right in the feels.
Eden and Jake have a great chemistry from the start. What starts off as dislike on Eden’s end, and a relationship that’s off limits, becomes a lovely love story. I loved that this story is set in the surfer world.
Eden is a snarky, tell it like it is character. Jake is one cocky surfer and I loved every moment of it! I enjoyed the background of both of them, and that we got to know them on a deeper level.
A sweet, well written read!
Hot Surfer Dude in Shining Board Shorts – Mr. May
Jake Carson is every bit as cocky as he’s been promoted, and he’s entitled to be. He’s number one in the Pro-Surfer circuit, gorgeous and super-sexy. Hell, when I was reading, it was our cover model that was in my head the whole time!
He’s also in the head of Zeke Brady, his arch-rival and a man who hates Jake with the blazing passion of a thousand suns with his constant blowing of kisses and comments about Eden, Zeke’s younger sister. And as for her, he’s completely under her skin with those kisses and panty-melting grins.
Unfortunately for Jake, the ‘Baby Sisters Club’ members are firmly off-limits to any of the surf-competitors, so while he openly taunts the gorgeously independent Eden, he’s doing his best to hide his intense attraction behind his apparent lacksidasical attitude. That is, until some fun gets out of hand, and he ends up playing surfer-dude-in-shining-board shorts to Eden one evening. With family being a priority for both men, it seems they may have more in common than Zeke thinks.
Ms. Goodin has knocked it out of the park with the chemistry level between these two in this enemies-to-lovers story. The tension is so thick and heavy. Her writing is going from strength to strength with each book and her reader groupies are damn near fighting over these Calendar Boys. There is virtual hair and nails flying in all directions, gif wars, you name it, but, it’s all in great fun.
Another highly recommended outing for Nicole Goodin and Mr. May. 5 Stars
Swooning…
…cocky surfer meets a sassy blonde, that changes everything..
Every emotions, witty banter, and steamy encounters…
..this series each book is better than the last!!
I am truly enjoying the Calendar Boys series from Nicole S. Goodin. Each book is a standalone romance with sexy couples you can’t help but love. In Mr. May we meet Jake Carson and Eden Brady in a forbidden story that lit up the pages while I read this story.
Jake is a professional surfer with all the looks and charm if a bit on the cocky side. Eden is the sister of a fellow surfer and completely off limits. Though Jake loves to push every one of her buttons, there is something underneath that pulls him to her. Even if she is the sister to his rival. I loved how Eden was smart, feisty and can hold her own. When they realize there is more there than any rivalry can stand, will they be able to give in or walk away?
I loved Jake and Eden’s story in Mr. May. This story was emotional, sweet and a bit on the forbidden side. The characters had great chemistry and I loved their journey! As always, loved this story and look forward to the upcoming months for more!
Read and reviewed for Reviews From the Heart.
Happy reading!
Mr. May is a great book with Jake a world class surfer with a cocky attitude and can back it up. Eden is the sister of another surfer and everyone knows that sister’s are off limits but Jake was made to break the rules. Loved to see Jake and Eden’s relationship developed and how they opened up to one another and shows who they really are.

This series just keeps getting better and better, I love a good enemies-to-lovers romance so Jake and Eden’s book was a perfect read for me. These two were great characters and I think this may be my favorite of the series so far. It is another well written super read and I would recommend it.
When I started this book I was immediately taken to a beautiful beach with lots of waves and hot men surfing. It made me wonder if Nicole was on the beach while writing this?
It’s a really sweet forbidden romance taking place between Surfing champion Jake and Eden the little sister of Zeke his greatest rival for the world title. However, “the baby sisters club” is totally out of bounds, and Jake is doing his best to abide by the rules. That’s until he sees Eden being teased and then thrown in the ocean by some of the guys and her not resurfacing. He dives in and rescues her and takes her back to his hotel room where she breaks down and tells him her deepest scariest secret.
To Eden’s surprise Jake promises to help her regain her confidence and she soon realises that he is not the guy she thought he was he is so much more.
Nicole gives us yet another great story in the calendar boys series with well written characters and descriptions that make you feel that you are at the beach with them. This is one to read either on the beach or sitting in the sun with a glass of wine.
Eden has followed her brother, Zeke, on the surf circuit since their parents died. She models for one of the sponsors so works along the way. Jake is Zeke’s biggest competition and thoroughly enjoys riling him up before they compete. He started out antagonizing Eden just to get under her brothers skin but somewhere along the line he started to want her. One traumatic event throws them together and Eden sees a different side of Jake. Can Eden get over her past enough to let Jake in? Will Zeke kill him if she does?
I have really loved every one of the books in this series so far. Even with tragic pasts she makes her characters live vibrantly. I love the banter between Jake and Eden. Nicole’s characters are so real and relatable. I am anxiously awaiting Mr. June. If you want a fun, sexy read grab the Calendar Boys and start reading.
Its a good read to me. You have two guys that have always competed against each other and his sister. The problem that arises is Jake liking the sister. No one is supposed to look, speak to or think about his sister. Realistically, we can wish all we want that it does not happen but the reality is that it happens. Cannot control it or make it not happen if said sister likes the guy. Little sisters do grow up and date people after all.

Nicole Goodin is a new to me author and I am hooked! I can’t wait to read more from her in the future.
This is a sports/forbidden romance, which happen to be two of my favorite tropes so I was super excited to dive right into this story.
Jake Carson is a pro surfer and at the top of his game, his biggest competition is Zeke Brady. Jake also loves to get under the skin of Zeke’s baby sister, Eden. His cocky attitude drives Eden nuts and the two of them don’t know whether to love or hate each other.
Jake comes across as a cocky jerk, but the more Eden got to know him, especially after “working” with him, the more you learn he isn’t a jerk, though still somewhat cocky. There is more to the man than what the public sees.
I loved Jake and Eden’s relationship from their chemistry to their banter. Jake helping Eden overcome her fear was hands down the sweetest thing ever and had me swooning over the man.
I loved this story from start to finish and I can’t wait to read the rest of the calendar series.
