What a Girl Wants: “The Green-Eyed Angel of Planet Crazy.”
What A Girl Wants by the exquisitely talented Selena Robins is a pure diamond in the romance genre. Let me tell you from one reader to another, this story generated a few delightful hours of reading pleasure with the focus on ‘pleasure, and I enjoyed the ride thoroughly.
When we first meet Madison Elizabeth Saunders, better known as Maddie (journalist extraordinaire), she’s shopping with her BFF Reece for the trip of a lifetime to a small island in Hawaii to interview important people who make their appearance later in this honey of a tale.
Maddie’s an innocent, but determined to change her status and have a fling without the bling – her intended headline for her travel piece? ‘Gateway to the Seductive Tropics.’ Can she manage it? Of course she assumes so – after all, she’s skydived, hiked in remote areas and is an expert in every aspect of other physical adventures.
Her artistic articles have proven she’s lived to tell the tales, but is she an expert on the whimsies of seduction?
Anyway…
Hoping the assignment with her crush Mr. Good Bar (also known as Alex Donovan, a Pulitzer prize-winning journalist and friend), will end in mind-blowing sex, she definitely has her hot plans in place, but does Alex have the same agenda in mind? Will he be content to remain Maddie’s friend and confidant, and not ruin the treasured friendship they’ve maintained over the years?
Can he resist her charms and still have a clear conscious, knowing Maddie’s current and past histories are held between his capable hands?
Meanwhile, Maddie’s mom, a notorious bride-to-be six times over and counting, harbors secrets about her daughter she doesn’t wish to share, even though Maddie has all but given up hopes for a reasonable answer to the questions of her paternity. No soul wants to read Father Unknown on their birth certificate.
Come join Maddie’s adventures as rocks to her own private tune of island adventures. Cheer her on while she discovers the value of the male-female relationship that’s beyond mere physical intimacy – rejoice with her as she falls into love, empathize when she meets new friends who aren’t what they seem and encounters serious enemies – please send her a hug when she faces diversity.
Five golden stars awarded for What A Girl Wants – I’ve become a true fan of Selena Robins and I can’t wait to read more from this author. Highly recommended.
Travel journalist Maddie Saunders has new attitude, and wants two new accessories to go with it. One, turn her triple-X fantasies into reality with Mr. Sex-On-Legs—her friend, Alex Donovan. And two, find her biological father to see if her gene pool has a deep end…
Poor Alex! Tropical paradise, exotic cocktails, and a beautiful coworker hell-bent on having her wicked way with him. Should be every man’s not-so-secret fantasy come true. Except he likes Maddie, and doesn’t want to hurt her—and having a fling with the boss’s niece isn’t a great career move. But Maddie’s not looking for a relationship—she just wants to have some fun.
This started out as a light, playful book, full of witty banter and heavy on the sexual innuendo. Great setting and red-hot chemistry. Wonderful escapism reading.
But I’m an impatient reader, and I usually read darker, weightier romances. Selena Robins is sneaky, folks—she hooks you in with the fun and flirt, and THEN gets to the heart and soul of her characters. There is plenty here for a drama-lover like me. A fatherless heroine with abandonment issues, conflicted heroes with secrets…even an evil blackmailer playing everyone like an evil puppeteer. The second half of the book was right up my alley, as Alex works to get under Maddie’s mask to the real woman within.
Masks have always fascinated me—what people show to the world vs. what they keep hidden inside, and the level of trust needed to share what’s inside with another. And a hero who can call a heroine’s bluff and bring out the real woman—that’s MY kind of guy!
Definitely pick up this book—it’s a great read for everyone at either end of the spectrum. Not too many books can say that.
