Compromised in Paradise is book three in the Compromise Me series by Samanthe Beck. I was so excited about this one. There have been so many little tidbits dropped regarding Rafe’s little sister, Arden St. Sebastian and I already was partially in love with the sexy Dr. Nick Bancroft. Put these two together and you pretty much have spontaneous combustion.

Arden needs a vacation, badly. Between work and running interference between her parents, she’s on overload. Then there’s the little matter of her almost blackmailer. So, she’s spending a week in Maui at the new hotel to both work and rest. The first night there she sees a man in the bar that instantly calls her attention. There’s just something about his hands. But after her recent experiences, she just wants to be anonymous, not the St. Sebastian hotel heiress. So she and the stranger agree to a no names agreement. She is a princess from Siberia and he is an astronaut. Mutual silly games, right? At first, yes, but as these two would discover over the next week, not so much.

What starts out as a very sexy night for Arden and Nick has a bit of a lackluster ending for Arden. Her brain just won’t shut off and she just can’t get there, you know, to the big happy ending. So instead of a one night stand, Nick offers her six days of orgasmic bliss. Six days to turn off her stress.

Nick most definitely knows his way around the female body and he does deliver on his promise in some very inventive ways. He also manages to get Arden out of her head, to just be. This series is very sexy but I think this one was the hottest. These two most definitely steamed up the pages. As the week wears on, though, they both begin to question their expiration date. But with no names involved, with the whole week being about make believe, it’s easier said than done.

If I had one complaint about this book, it was that at times, Nick’s approach to Arden’s “problem” was a bit too clinical. But, he IS a doctor after all. And he most definitely broke down her walls. One thing this series does have that I love is perfect endings. I love the way every book ended. You are guaranteed to walk away with a smile and all the warm and fuzzies you can handle. I loved my visit to Maui with Arden and Nick as well as the whole series. If you haven’t started yet, now is the perfect time. I hope you’ll love it too.

Compromised In Paradise is filthy good read. I enjoyed every minute of not only watching Arden and Nick go at it but also watching them fall for each other.

I definitely recommend it to those in the mood for a quick, dirty read with heart.

Heiress Arden St Sebastian is in Maui for work. When she meets Nick at the bar, she thinks he's perfect for a night of relaxation. But she is so stressed out courtesy her parents that she just can't seem to get there.
Nick takes it as a challenge to get her to relax and reach the goal multiple times.
Compromised in Paradise is a hot hot hot read. I enjoyed Arden and Nicks journey from one night to forever. A steamy read that will leave you hot and bothered.

Arden St Sebastian's stress levels are at an all time high. She needs a little me time and can't think of a better way to spend that me time than with a sexy stranger who has promised her unlimited life altering orgasns. Nicholas Bancroft is more than willing to be Arden's stress reliever but when these two come together they realize that if they let their guards down they could be so much more if they would just give each other a real chance.
Arden and Nick's story was one hot read from start to finish. These two were so busy trying to keep things casual that they didn't even realize how good they were together until it was almost to late. The attraction was there from the beginning but after spending time with each other realize that they are just as good together outside of bedroom as well as inside the bedroom. Nick and Arden, when they met, didn't expect a love connection but who are they to deny fate? This was passionate romance with a good amount sarcastic humor that made for a great read and I give this one four stars.

This was completely entertaining from front to back, and more than a little hot. Good storyline, too!

It begins with Arden and Nick meeting at a bar and their chemistry is instant. I'm not usually into insta-love, but acting on pure lust between the two characters, I could see exactly how they found themselves at Arden's villa, giving into their passion. I don't want to spoil anything else, but I loved how easy they were together, and I totally bought into both of the main characters' hesitations to show their true feelings. And did I mention it was HOT?

Yeah, a steamy read for a steamy summer afternoon. 4 - 4.5 stars.

A very enticing and sexy read, with humour and added playfulness that brings depth to the plot.

Two strangers meet and it's lust at first sight. They decide that this will be the perfect no strings fling so they don't share names or any personal info. It's all about fulfilling their sexual desires....until it isn't. Red hot romance.

Holy O's what a scorching read this is!! Grab a fan, a tall cold one and turn down the a/c for this book!

Arden works for her family's extreme luxury hotel business. Her father has retired and turned the day to day operations over to her brother. Her job is to go in and make the changes to scale up the resort, from the smallest of things to color schemes. She's good at what she does. What she's not good at is managing the endless stress from her father mainly which has translated into her inability to "get there"no matter what she does.

She's in Maui looking at the newest purchase when she spots a hot one having drinks with an older couple, she's only seen his back and she's already stripping him out of his clothes, when he comes to the bar where she's sitting a short time later, the minute they make eye contact, both of them are all in. Meanwhile her father-ever meddlesome has arranged for a date for her at the end of the week. "A nice young man, maybe suitable for her." Her father drove me absolutely to the edge. Not wanting to be seen as someone who's name=money, she gives him a made up name and he does the same.
He's a little disappointed but he can handle it. When these two hit the sheets and she fakes her orgasm, he calls her out on it. She admits it and admits she has a problem. Her mystery man "Rider"
is a Emergency Room Dr and also her date, neither of them know this.

So Rider makes Czarina a deal, they spend the next 6 days together and he guarantees her exactly what she wants and meanwhile they do things together every day. So as her delivers on his promise to her, his deal is she has to tell him her real name. She agrees. He really likes her and she likes him.
He's avoided any kind of relationship since a college love went very wrong. But the more time these two spend together, the closer they get. He finds out who she is by accident when her brother shows up, but he plays along, he really wants her to tell him her real name on her own. These two do some pretty crazy stuff. Read the book. I can't even begin to tell you.

Well ya know all good O's must come to an end, when her mother shows up out of the blue, her father is scheduled to come in the next day and Rider is still not sleeping with her, just teasing her along.
Things come to a head. No pun intended. Right. Not. He's been edging her and that hasn't helped her stress level and then, dontcha just know she finds out who he is and that he knows who she is.

And that friends is where I am going to leave you hanging because you have to read this book to get the twists and turns and what happens when people meddle in places they shouldn't and how much Arden needed to get her parents off her to do list. The parents story is one in itself. I really liked Nick, aka Rider. His character and actual caring for others. His ego takes a few hits, but he rebounds quickly and gets ride back on track. Arden I just felt bad for, she needed stress management, but her character was great. She was happy, liked the simple things in life and generous. They made a great couple. It's a great read. Indulge yourself for the end of summer beach read and get this book. I dream of Maui myself.
Samanthe, when you get that private jet, I'd like a ride over to the island with you and the girls.
Great book!! 4.5 Stars from me.

You're guaranteed a fantastic book/story by Samantha Beck and this is what this book delivers in spades. Characters you can't help falling in love with and rooting for them. Brilliant storyline that gripped you from the very beginning and doesn't let go to the very end. Lost sleep reading this one but was totally worth it. I definitely can't wait to read more by this fantastic author in the future. What you waiting for go get this book. Would totally recommend this to everyone

The chemistry between Nick and Arden was off the charts, I loved the back and forth between their characters. At times the misunderstandings were so obvious that you wanted to knock their heads together but I guess that's human nature.

Love this author and this book. Arden has needed to find her love and no one better than sexy doctor, Nick Bancroft....all anonymously of course. Over six dates, these two must work to find out if they are compatible and keep the real world from intruding.

Now that's my kind of vacation relaxation goals. Arden is so stressed out, I'm surprised that it didn't make her sick. But boy, Nick sure does know how to handle stress.
Compromised in Paradise would be a great book to take on holiday. Warning though, it might leave you a little bit needy.
