Ash: When my teammate invites me to vacation on Pole Island in between hockey seasons, I’m ready for some rest, relaxation, and sun. What I’m not expecting is the insanely hot woman I meet at the hotel bar. She’s been hurt in the past—can I convince her to trust me enough to make her mine?
Nora: I should be having the time of my life, but all I can think about is my recent breakup. That is, … think about is my recent breakup. That is, until Ash Kiplinger sits next to me at the bar. Too bad a guy as gorgeous as him would never go for a girl like me.
INSTA LOVE ISLAND is a series of short and bootylicious romances, all set on the hottest tropical island in the Caribbean!

Super sweet fast paced summer lovin’. It was a fun and entertaining way to spend a little time with a book on lunch break.
In my opinion Summer Break on the Beach was too short. I would have liked a little bit more. I felt the instant attraction between Ash and Nora. This is a fun lunchtime read. My favorite part was the epilogue. Overall I enjoyed and was entertained. I read on Kindle Unlimited.
I really liked this short but steamy story. It was entertaining and quite enjoyable. There are plenty of feels. The characters were interesting and likable. I would love to find out if Jared meets someone too! Nora and Ash hit it off right away even though Nora was sure that Ash couldn’t be interested in her. Ash decides to show Nora how interested in her that he is. Jared is great for comic relief! Ash and Nora have a great happy ever after. I recommend reading this book.
The Perfect Beachy Read!
I seriously enjoyed this vacation tale. I enjoy all of Jane’s work and this one was no different. The additional antics of the friend was entertaining and I’m glad in the end the couple as always ended right where they were supposed to 🙂
I received an advance copy of this book and am leaving my completely honest review.
Nora is on vacation at Pole island because she found out about her boyfriend cheating on her. Ash is there because his hockey teammate, Jared made him take a vacation. Ash is instantly smitten, he just has to prove himself to Nora. This is a short, sweet romance. The characters have chemistry. I voluntarily received an ARC of this book and this is my opinion.
Nora is on a spite vacation – her ex took money from their joint account to buy jewelry for his other girlfriend, so she took the rest of the money to go on a vacation to Pole Island. It’s been a little disappointing so far, but things are about to get much better. Ash is a professional hockey player, on vacation with a teammate. He notices her the moment they walk into the bar, and he’s done. This is another installment in this terrific multi-author series, and it’s written by one of my favorite short book authors. Ash’s friend is young and fairly obnoxious, and it’s nice that Ash manages to get him out of the way. I was glad to see that Nora not only had a great vacation, but is headed for a happy ending with a hot hockey player. I received an advance review copy from the author, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.
Broken hearted Nora meets and is healed by hockey player Ash. A short, sweet and steamy read. Loved their story.
Nora ends up going on a last minute vacation to Pole Island after she caught her boyfriend buying jewelry for another woman! She is sitting at the bar by herself when she meets Ash a gorgeous hockey player! Ash can’t believe how gorgeous Nora is and he is determined to make her his! Another great book in the series!
Sure to be a favorite
On my list of favorites. A short story that packed so much detail, romance and steam. Nora and Ash get the perfect HEA. Highly recommend.
It Grabbed My attention and focus so strong I could not put it down. A word of advice when you get your copy. Grab a snack, a comfy seat, kick back and relax. You will not be moving until you finish this bad boy here. Remarkable job. Thanks for sharing.
Finding Forever – After discovering what her cheating ex did, Nora sets off on a solo vacation. What she didn’t expect was to meet Ash and his teammate Tyler. Ash and Nora’s story is cute and funny as they find their forever. Tyler’s antics keep the crazy going. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
super nice story .. short, powerful and full of crackling chemistry. I enjoyed it. I give this honest review voluntarily
Jane Fox always delivers a steamy instalove romance that can be read in an hour. SUMMER BREAK ON THE BEACH is no different. What I liked best about this romance is Ash and Jared’s relationship because it gives us a glimpse of the kind of man Ash is – he cares about his younger friend but is also indulgent of his proclivities.
When he meets Nora he can’t believe she doesn’t know how beautiful she is. She was vacationing alone because of a break up with a boyfriend that didn’t value her. She’s not into hockey, so she’s not an enamored fan looking for a prestigious hookup.
This is just a short glimpse at their meeting and I like that we always know how things turn out at some later date. The other books in this series are written by other authors so should be good, short summer reads.
One shot, two shot…………and she SCORES a Hat trick!!!
Summer Break on the Beach by Jane Fox is the seventh book in the Insta Love Island series with each book by a different author. This is the story of Nora and Ash.
Nora has had a hard time lately as she discovered her now ex-boyfriend had bought some jewelry with money from their shared account, which he had barely contributed to. The problem was that the jewelry was not for her and instead he gave it to another woman. So she took the rest of the money out of the account and booked a vacation on Pole Island. Thus she finds herself on a revenge vacation but she is all by herself and is depressed about the whole situation. But she is in a tropical paradise sitting at a pool bar drinking a Slippery Pole.
Ash is twenty-eight years old and is a professional hockey player with the Halifax Edge in the Hockey League of America. He grew up in Minnesota and has played in the HLA for seven years. He is on vacation with his younger teammate and friend Jared, a twenty-one year old skilled player who is like a young golden retriever, highly excitable and always wanting a pet.
Ash and Jared meet Nora when they go to the pool bar at the hotel and Nora is sitting there. As soon as Ash sees her he is immediately attracted to her. Nora is a graphic designer who is on the curvy side but is also beautiful, smart, has a loving heart but has self doubt. She is attracted to Ash, as he is talk, muscular, olive skin, dark hair and eyes and just plan “sex on a stick”. Jared orders shots and Ash decides it should be for the bar, which means Nora and the bartender. This is Ash’s way to get to introduce himself to Nora and it works. When she goes to leave he invites her to join them for dinner that night which she accepts. Dinner turns out to be just Ash and Nora as Jared had a bit too much to drink and was passed out in his room. They have a great evening together and he leaves her at her door without a good night kiss. But there is a promise to meet the next afternoon to explore the island. Let’s just say that they don’t really explore the island but they do explore each other in multiple ways.
This is a sweet, fun, entertaining and hot short story. The story-line is good and the characters are wonderful. It seems that Nora did get her revenge vacation as she ended up with the ice melting hockey star and a fantastic HEA. This is a wonderful book that I recommend!
Easy Breezy Read – 4 Stars
This was a very good insta-love short story. The writing was good and the story flowed along effortlessly. There were three main players in this story: the main male and the main female characters as well as the main male character’s best friend. This story starts on a low note and scales up to attain happily-ever-after status. Good Stuff.
I voluntarily received an advance review copy of this short story from the author and I am leaving an honest and unbiased review. I have no affiliation to this author.
This was a cute story. The characters were refreshingly real and relatable, which makes this short story so easy to read and enjoy.
Super quick beach read.
Sip that frosty drink and enjoy Nora on her spite vacay and Ash, the hottie that makes her forget all about that break up.
Taking off with what remains of old beau’s joint account to take a vacation was the best decision Nora made, she met Ash, who turned out to be the love of her life. That is so sweet.

This is a great story in the series. Nora and Ash are great. I always love this Author and all her series. Although she is just 1 of the great authors in this series. I love the Insta Love Island series can’t wait for the next one.
This story is amazing! Over the top, but oh so fun! I love how Ash sees Nora, as this perfect goddess, and refuses to allow her to think negatively about herself. And Nora gives Ash someone who needs him, someone to care for. These are two people who, though swept away by instalove, are genuinely concerned for the other, intent upon putting the other first and making their new relationship work. Well written, heartfelt, and still a lighthearted, fun read! I adore anything Jane Fox writes!
