He’s sexy, flirty, down-and-dirty trouble. I entertain naked people for a living. No, not THAT kind of entertainment. I own a nudist resort. I’m not a nudist, but Val Silva is. And he’s a human supernova sleeping in the room next door.The man is tall, gorgeous, tattooed, and a shameless exhibitionist. As the Brazilian bad boy of the international football world, he’s as famous for his sextape as … world, he’s as famous for his sextape as for his talent on the field. Oh, did I mention he walks around naked ALL the time? A girl only has so much willpower. Maybe we can have a little fun… as long as his tabloid past doesn’t mess with my quiet life.
Eve Holt is the sexiest woman I’ve ever seen, in those short-shorts and tank tops that make me wonder what she’s hiding underneath. Most women love my wild side, but Eve thinks I’m trouble with a capital T. Okay, she might have a point there. But I always get what I want, and I want her. I didn’t lead my team to Olympic gold by giving up. That’s one fact about me Eve is about to learn.

This is the 1st book in the series. the characters are very well written with a little intrigue and drama. The story line is entertaining.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
What a cute premise on this series set at a naturist (nudist) resort in Oregan. This was a very enjoyable cute story about Val and Eve with it’s touches of humor and steamy romance. Eve Holt a photographer and runs the resort when Valentim Silva (Val) room is flooded, Eve puts him up in her house. the attraction between them is instant. Val chose the resort to get away from a scandal in L.A. and Eve has a admirer that threatens their relationship? Will they have a HEA? The end gives a hint on the next book in this series which I will await on this delightful series.
Passion and drama are each in play at Au Naturale Resort! The chemistry between Evie, reserved resort owner and Val, sexy resort guest sizzles, sparks, and inevitably ignites, but there is danger lurking in this idyllic Oregon slice of paradise!! This book is different than the Hot Scots series written by Ms. Durand but it still has all the elements we have come to expect in any book written by her. Good dialogue, interesting storyline, White Hot Chemistry, and a HEA! I liked how Evie and Val had the perfect complementing personalities that enabled them to draw on their individual strengths in order to bring out the best in each other.
If the preview of the next book in the series is any indication, it is going to be a hoot! I am so glad that Ollie will be getting his own story!

Bare more than your body at Au Naturel!
Eve runs a nudist resort. Or as they prefer to say naturist. You might assume this means that this novel will be all about the sex. But sex isn’t what being a naturist is about. She simply hosts people who enjoy a life free of clothes on her lovely property where they can enjoy nature and fun activities with others who share their clothes-free life.
And she gets to explore her true passion, photography, even if her primary subject these days is her naturists.
Little does Eve expect the change coming to her life with the arrival of her newest guest, Valentim or Val.
It starts with an unexpected disaster when a leak springs in the room reserved for Val and Eve is forced to host her coming guest in the spare room in her house since the town is booked because of Pioneer Days in town. She has no idea if Valentim is young or old. So when he arrives a bit early and she finds herself greeting a man who looks like a god, she finds herself a wee bit overcome.
Val is attracted to Eve from the minute they meet. And is a touch disappointed to discover their hostess doesn’t partake of the naturist lifestyle herself.
I loved this book. We meet a variety of people (who I assume we’ll see more of in the subsequent books). They are like one big family. They watch out for each other and Eve. There is a touch of drama. Lots of heat between Eve & Val. Humor. (Bug spray is your friend.)
Eve finds herself growing through her interactions with Val. Both of them discover things about themselves. And neither thought they wanted more than to scratch an itch.
I can’t wait to read the next books.

I loved this sexy, smart rom-com!
Eve honestly doesn’t know what to do when Val shows up at her resort! He’s shameless, flirty, overconfident but not quite arrogant, and oh-so-sexy! He’s got a dirty mouth and a laser focus directed right at Eve. He has absolutely no inhibitions, and he’s determined to rid Eve of all of hers.
This was a delightful rom-com with a tasteful approach to the nudist/naturist lifestyle. I loved the extended cast of characters, from the resort regulars (Silver Foxes vs. Kitten Brigade) to the families of both main characters.
There’s just enough drama to keep things interesting, and plenty of fun times – clothed and unclothed – for all. It’s a wonderful story with a solid HEA for Eve and Val, and an epilogue that leads us into the couple for the next book. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
This is the first book I’ve read by Anna Durand and what an unexpected treat it was. This is a wonderful, steamy story about Eve and Val. Eve owns a nudist resort and Val is her new guest. Val’s intended room has a burst water pipe, so he’ll be staying in her guest bedroom. She’s hooked up with a couple of guests in the past, so she tells herself Val is off-limits. Val is sex on a stick, so we’ll see how long that lasts. Val is instantly attracted to Eve and plans to get her in his bed, before he returns to L.A. Eve has several guests that return each year and you will be able to tell how much Eve cares for them and they care for her. I won’t leave any spoilers, but I will say, if you enjoy a steamy read with wonderful characters, you will love this book. I can’t wait to read the next story in this new series.

Quentin her handyman is jealous and punches Val. Eve fires him. Her family visits the resort and approve of Val which shocks him.

The story is exciting, fast paced, with characters that you come to really adore. Eve is the sole proprietor of a business that is viewed as unorthodox, and once meeting Val her world is not as organized and efficient as it once was. But with the help and love from family and friends she gets her HEA.

Anna Durand has struck gold with her latest offering – Natural Passion. Eve owns a naturalist (aka – nudist) resort in Oregon, yet she never goes “natural”. Many of her guests return multiple times year after year. Then her newest guest arrives, and when he steps out of his truck, Eve falls in lust. Val is a former Olympic and World Cup football player (soccer) now turned model originally from Brazil now based in LA. His room has been flooded by a broken water pipe, and now Val gets to stay in Eve’s house. Val is very upfront about his bad boy reputation for stripping down after a score as well as a leaked internet sex video. He is also very upfront about wanting Evie during his vacation. But, Eve has a rule about not sleeping with guests, or does she?
This book has something for everyone – hot sex, jealousy, love, and betrayal. Kudos to Ms. Durand! I can’t wait for more!

I am voluntarily writing this review for this book I received through Booksprouts arc.
Eve ran as resort for nudist though she didn’t participate. She had been talking care of everything with the help of her handyman. Waiting for her last guest in the meantime his room was having horrible problems. Not having any other room except the guest room in her house. Val pulled up and got out of his truck and Eve was dumbstruck how handsome. Val and Eve start an affair even though her main rule not to sleep with a guest. Her handyman Quentin did sleep together once and he became jealous over her attention to Val. She had to fire him when he attacked Val in her home which was over the line. Val ran into Quentin when he was at the hardware store and they got into a little confrontation. Quentin decided that he was going to get rid of Val once and for all. Things go south when the paparazzi show up and Eve has to take care of her guest so they would not be harassed. Will Val and Eve ever see each other again after he took off without so much as a goodbye
love au natural except for Eve. She runs a nudist resort but prefers her clothes to stay on. Not that she is a prude on anything. She enjoys life just with clothes on. She has had hook ups in the past. When Val arrives he will make Eve rethink a couple of things. He also has some things to discover about himself. Where Eve is a tad reserved Val is somewhat of an exhibitionist. Steam with likable characters.
