A much-needed book hug in these troubling times, for sure
Glorious location, fun, heat (yeah, that kind of heat!) and fabulous characters with fully fleshed out back stories. Their conflict was very real and their HFN ending was perfect for Daxon and Kendall. I adored the last few chapters as they tried to see a way through it all and it had me gripped, emotional and desperately rooting for them…still not sure I’d cliff jump let alone climb! I’ll leave that to the hotness that is this pair. Loved it!
Pure temptation by Rebecca Hunter.
This is book 1 of the fantasy island trilogy.

They shared one kiss. Kiss, they can’t forget. Now six month later, they came face to face again. She has to help him, get back in shape for his climb. He can die during this climb.
This story is awesome. Love it.
How much are Daxon and Kendall willing to risk for love?
This was a delightfully sweet and oh-so-very-steamy quickie romance that follows Daxon, an extreme sports enthusiast, and Kendall, a physical therapist. Six months after their first week – professionally, as he was her client – they get another week together at the fantasy-fulfilling Kalani Resort in Hawaii. This time, after hours activities are included, which gives them everything they’d hoped for plus a whole lot of conflicting emotions they’d never dreamed of.
I loved the way these two came together so naturally, so open and honest with their feelings. It’s clear to everyone that these two belong together, but their opposing approaches to risk management, and their very personal and sympathetic reasons for them, loom as a mountainous hurdle that neither sees a way around.
I, too, wondered if a HEA was possible, but this author never fails to deliver and the path to that HEA was as emotionally rewarding as I could’ve hoped for. It’s a terrific book, one I highly recommend. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
I enjoyed this opposites attract romance. You can expect plenty of heat and emotion as Daxon and Kendall’s story plays out. A strong pull of attraction and sizzling chemistry meet a formidable foe in vastly differing mindsets and lifestyle choices. Quite fun! This is my candid, volitional review.
Kendall’s professional job went off kilter six months ago when she kissed her client. She didn’t think that she would see him again despite the dreams and fantasies she had afterwards. Kendall is then requested when she gets her permit job in Hawaii as a physical therapist. And surprisingly she met up again with Dax. Ducks cannot believe his luck. The woman he kissed six months ago in Costa Rica is it his physical therapist in Hawaii. There is no specific policy at the resort about fraternizing with the clients. That doesn’t know that but Kendall does. DAX has a week to get himself together for big event. Being physically fit it’s going to determine if he lives or dies after this event. DAX and Kendall are very conscious about their attraction to each other. The story has very detailed descriptions about places in Hawaii where they visited while he is trying to recuperate and they are making memories. Great conversations, “after hour activities “sounds exciting to get them closer. Is this right for a week all right permanently?

Dax is an adrenaline junky who is in Hawaii relaxing before his next rush. Kendall is the woman who he shared a scorching kiss with. These were a fun couple I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them. The chemistry is undeniable and the storyline flowed smoothly.

Emotionally thrilling roller – coaster filled with engaging and dangerous charters, witty dialog, heart racing twists and exciting passion. Really enjoyed this thrilling adventure that was so hard to put down once I started the journey.
Daxon is a daredevil sports enthusiast and was preparing for his biggest climb. He had been injured six months previously and Kendall was his physical therapist. There had been sexual tension back then, but only one hot kiss occurred. Now they are both on Fantasy Island, and it all comes racing back. Good example of opposites attract. Good story with hot scenes and memorable characters. Good read!

Wow what a wonderful story, this is a definite don’t miss. If you love books that have lots of romance and some drama and a HEA this should be on you TBR list. Imagine being in a beautiful location and your Kendall a physical therapist and you need to take care of someone who has no fear for the extreme. Daxon is that man it’s never too difficult there is never a risk he won’t take so he needs Kendall to get him ready for his next adventure. climbing the face of a mountain with no safety equipment. Their feelings about risk are on the opposite side of the spectrum. It’s a fantastic story of passion opposites attracting each other and just a totally wonderful book.
After a great hook up 6 months ago when they never should have seen each other again Kendall turns up at Daxon’s door as his physical therapist yikes!! You have a great characters who seem to love to clash with each other, a fun and steamy story that leaves you fanning your face at times and an attraction that has you worrying won’t turn into a HEA if they aren’t careful!!
