I really wanted to like this book. The synopsis held so much promise, but the book failed to deliver as much as I hoped for from it. I enjoyed it well enough, but with a few tweaks it could have been an even more enjoyable read.

So this is book two in the Paradise Beach series and once again I absolutely loved it. I read it in a few short hours and finished it just as my kindle completely died. Again I absolutely loved the characters and the dynamic of the book. Once my kindle is charged up again I look forward to reading the last book in the series! SO FREAKING GOOD!

I tried really hard to get into this book and it's completely possible it was just my mindset at the time. I can see myself enjoying All I Want at a later date but right now, it just wasn't for me.

This was the first actual book in the Paradise Beach series, but second book I read after the Prequel.

All I Want focuses on Lauren and Max. Lauren is a social media influencer whose best friend Kate is getting married to Damien. Max happens to be Damien's very handsome older brother.

Lauren and Max could not take their eyes off each other. One is the maid of honour, the other is the best man. An accident happened to Lauren that prevented her from leaving and Max decided to take care of her. Their lust grew into love for each other.

This was such a steamy read, with lots of surprises and happy outcomes too. Absolutely love this series by Tamara Lush!

This book wasn't at all what I had expected. The "fake marriage" didn't happen until about 60% in, and there wasn't anything really anything "fake" about it. It was also not rushed, and didn't really seem to matter for the reasons they claimed (health insurance). I am still perplexed on why it made sense to akip out on eloping so they could have a big wedding days before he left for Syria...

Both MCs were fairly juvenile, but I felt Kate really acted young. The backstory about the "slut shaming" was really bizarre and felt like an overreaction. I say that as someone who was bullied in middle school (not "slut shamed," but bullied none-the-less) and who hasn't dwelled on it ever since. It wasn't really clear to me what Kate and Damien's relationship hqd been in high school either. There was all this "so in love" on both sides, but also that they barely knew ine another, then that there was a kiss but nothing else because of rumors (because Damien didn't actually like her? Or...?).

There was also some odd things about all the health issues with almost everyone in the book. Several inconsistencies, and it also felt like any actual problems you would deal with (considering that all these health issues are BIG DEALS) were glossed over.

This book was really slow until about 60%, then there was a lot of skipping around and going warp speed...

I really didn't care for the instalove and how childish they were about their relationship. I mean, they even spent weeks making out in a car, not even doing more than kissing, because Damien "wanted it to be special." Oh, I mean, they "smooched." Not exactly the word for kissing I would imagine to be in the same book as begging to be "fcked harder and deeper."

So, I guess it is fair to say that this just wasn't a good fit for me. I wanted to like it, honestly, but I guess I'm not quite the right demographic.

thank you netgalley for the digital ARC. Miss Lush has a good writing style i enjoy sweet, romantic and funny! I love quick one-liners that make me laugh it keeps me interested in the book.

All I know is that it took me a long time to read this series. I have an issue with commitment and this series made me realize that. I liked it. Sexy smutty and fuckable.

Lauren the social media influencer who comes to Paradise Beach resort to support her best friend Kate, who is marrying Damien (book one of the series), meets Max, the stuffy attorney. Who also happens to be the groom's brother. They are both travellers and neither is looking for a relationship. But the happenstance of an accident that lays her up and his decision to be her caretaker gives them time together to reconsider whether there isn't something to this getting together thing has merit. A fun couple who works for it and makes the reader smile as they get there.

This is the second book in a series but could be read as a standalone. The story takes place in a small Florida town, and is based a romance between Max and Lauren.
They meet at a wedding, And although try and fight their chemistry it’s undeniable..
While I enjoyed the first book in the series this book lacked any depth, and I didn’t feel any spark between the two main characters and I was happy to finish it.

An engaging, funny and romantic read. Perfect for a cosy night in. Tamara Lush does a fantastic job of knitting together engaging characters and an interesting storyline to create a beautiful work of art that really pull the reader in.

Both Max and Lauren are engaging characters alone and also as a pair, their attraction is palpable and burns off the page.

All I Want is a fun, lighthearted read that will leave you grinning from ear to ear!

Talk about an entertaining ending! I laughed my butt off but I should probably start t the beginning.

All I Want is a whirlwind romance between the best man and the maid of honor in the whirlwind romance All I Know. The second book in the Paradise Beach series is just as hot, just as sweet, and of course has Chunky.

Enjoy the perks of the resort! I know I certainly did! I look forward to more "connections" in Paradise Beach

Although I enjoyed this one better than the first it was still a little meh for me. I can't figure out if this series is supposed to be funny or serious and there were parts that dragged a little. Given all that, I shall persevere and read the next one.

This is technically the first book in the series but there is a novella that you should read first. It’s Kate and Damians story. This one is Lauren and Max’s story and they first meet at Kate’s wedding. Paradise beach is a place Max didn’t want to be but now he’s home to get the family resort ready for sale and for his younger brothers wedding. Lauren is a social media influencer and works her butt off traveling and promoting brands, places, clothes, and herself. When she gets a call from her best friend. Of course she will come back and do what she can to be there for the wedding.

What they both don’t expect is for a potential weekend fling to be extended when an accident leaves Lauren in Paradise Beach for an extended time. Things heat up but so does their issues. Can they survive ?

Liked this one too but I think I liked Kate a bit more. Although now I can’t wait for Tate and the princess.

This story can be read as a stand-alone but it's better to read the first one to understand more who are the secondary characters and the setting of the story. I found this book more enjoyable than the first one and maybe because the characters are different, they are more mature and act accordingly. A very steamy banter and encounters, a suspenseful moment and some life decisions for the future towards a happily ever after.

***I received this book from NetGalley***

This book was so much better than the first one. Glad that Lauren and Max got their happily ever after.

Lauren had one point-five million Instagram followers. Supposedly she was a travel influence, but she gets more clicks if she posts photos of herself in pretty places. Tens of thousands and more likes when she’s in a bikini. Tiresome, but necessary , if Lauren wanted to make money. Hopefully this trip will give her another boost too. She needs to convince the social media marketing team at the world's only seven star resort in Dubai that she deserved one of their coveted junkets. So far she had applied three times and been turned down twice. It’s a trip reserved for only the top tier social media influences, a group she had been trying to break into for months. In reality, Lauren was hired help, like a PR person. She’s selling other brands- swank hotels, swag bags, or transcontinental flights, Gio’s parties that are sponsored by luxury brands. Being an Instagram influence is exhausting, and lonely at times, but it beats being an assistant to a portrait photographer in frigid Chicago. Of all the people back in the states Lauren misses her best friend Kate was the one she missed most, more than her own blood relatives. Kate had called to tell her Kate to join her and she was suppose to but than her mother was fighting breast cancer but she was only supposed to be there a couple of months. The nomad life is amazing but lonely as hell. Lauren was never in one place for long, so all of her friendships are superficial and transcontinental . Being a team with Kate was suppose to be incredible, and to be honest the thought of it had kept her sane the last couple of months. Max saw her looking at a piece of paper. She was probably lost as the signage sucks here. She is the first of the wedding guests. They had a mountain of work and here they were having the first hasting wedding at their half renovated hotel. It’s been two years since Max had been in a relationship and he admits he likes being single. But if he was half falling in love just looking at the woman…… Max thinks he will take care of the signs before the wedding right after he sends a million emails, hires a new landscaper, and talks to city hall and see if they need any more permits. Dad had left all these tasks to him. He couldn’t say no after his mother’s stress related heart troubles last year. He promised to oversee the renovations and get the highest price for the resort so his dad and mom could have the best retirement possible. After Kate told her why Damien proposed to her Lauren was ok with the wedding. Then she asks Kate about Max after describing him. Kate told lauren she didn’t want to go there. She than said damien told her that Max always seems to fall for women who are unavailable because that way the women won’t interfere with his job. She told Lauren not to lead him on. Lauren is interested in a wedding fling. Max and Lauren go for a walk on the beach and stop at some beach cabanas and Max kisses her. After awhile Tate comes looking for Lauren Kate is on the jetty crying and refuses to talk to anyone but Lauren. Lauren goes to her gets Kate calmed down and falls into the Gulf of Mexico while breaking her ankle in the fall. The doctor told Lauren she was to take it easy for six weeks . but Lauren was suppose to be in Dubai in two.
I really enjoyed this book It was an easy hot read. Max and Lauren had hot chemistry. I loved max and Lauren together and how they interacted. I liked the plot and pace a lot. I really enjoyed Max’s family, especially his mother. I advise you to read the first book in this series for a smoother read. I really enjoyed Lauren and Kate’s relationship. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I recommend it.

And book number two was just as amazing as the first book. I’m loving these stories and the characters and just even the location the story takes place. The chemistry between these two is off the charts and when she suffers an accident and he wants to stay and take care of her yay can see he can move past his playboy ways.

Lauren Spencer is living a somewhat lonely and stressful life as an Instagram influencer when her best friend calls and tells her she's getting married. Lauren had no idea her friend was even seeing someone, so she's immediately worried and suspicious. She flies to the Florida wedding and meets and hits it off with Max, her friend's fiance's brother. This is the second book in a series, but I had no trouble following it despite not reading the first. I enjoyed this one - it was a super fast read. Max is some sort of successful real estate guy in Manhattan, but he's at home at his parents' resort trying to sell it. I liked Max - he was way more lowkey and kinder than the typical "successful" romance novel hero. I also liked Lauren - while I can't relate (at all) to her social media worries, I liked her backstory and her struggles with her family and trusting people. There wasn't a huge amount of relationship development - they basically fall in insta-love - but I was still interested in their story. I'll definitely be continuing on with the series.

This is book 2 in this series.
I do think it could be read on its own.
I enjoyed this one much more then the first book. Lauren and Max are a great couple with great chemistry.
I mentioned book 1 was kinda depressing, but this one didn’t follow that same theme. These two meet and its lust at first sight.

The second part of the Paradise Beach series is actually partly about the same story as All I Know, only from the perspective of Lauren (Kate's BFF) and Max (Damien's brother).
When Lauren gets a Skypecall from Kate that she is getting married in three weeks, Lauren knows something is wrong. Kate even took longer to decide which coffee machine to buy for their shared room, so this can't be Kate's own decision.
Therefore Lauren packs her bags and changes her destination from Europe to California . As a digital nomad she can work from any place, so she better stay close to Kate to find out what's wrong.
Max always imagined that he would be the first of his siblings to marry. As the eldest ,he never thought his little
brother Damien would be the first to tie the knot. And certainly not after the whirlwind romance his baby brother seemed to have had .
So maybe Damien's fiancée is hiding something . And what better way to find out then through her best friend?
Max certainly doesn't have issues with flirting with the feisty and funny (and sexy-as-sin) Lauren. And since he will leave again for the big city after the marriage and Lauren will be off to Europe a little fling doesn't hurt anybody.
But when Lauren hurts her ankle and Max needs to stick around to help his father sell the hotel, they both end
up together for a longer time than they ever imagined. So long, it almost feels like an actual relationship ...
Can max leave without her and will Lauren pickup her nomad life ? Or maybe all they want is closer than they thought. Five out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.
