All I Do by Tamara Lush
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I nearly missed this latest instalment of Paradise Beach. I thought that I'd already read book three, but it turns out that book one is actually a pre-series book (0.5 or similar). Fortunately, I spotted that this was one that I was yet to try and I'm glad that I did. I've enjoyed all of the books that follow the Hastings family so far, this one was no exception.
Remy, twin of Damian (who we met in All I Know) is a confirmed bachelor. When he meets a real-life mermaid (no really, but you'll have to read the book to find out how that's possible) he can't fight the instant attraction. Fortunately, she wants nothing more than a 'friends with benefits' situation. After inheriting some money from an aunt, Leilani leaves her abusive boyfriend and moves to set up her own business. Of course, the more time that they spend together and in bed, they soon come to mean much more to each other than just friends.
This is quite a sweet story. Remy, despite his playboy reputation, is lovely. Leilani, with her love of the sea, is the perfect match for this professional fisherman. I really enjoyed reading the progression of their story.
I can't wait to read the next book in the series, featuring the only daughter in the family. I'm really enjoying Paradise Beach.

All I Ask by Tamara Lush
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The third book in the Paradise Beach series builds on the great start of the first books. While this is a series, I really don't think it would matter if you hadn't read the previous books in the series. The characters who were in those first two books do make small appearances in this book and I'm guessing that the characters who are yet to get their stories also appear. It works fines as a standalone book.
All I ask focuses on lawyer Tate and European Princess Isabella. When Isabella comes to Paradise Beach to avoid the paparazzi and media circus that surrounds her life, she hopes to remain under the radar for a while. Unfortunately, after a quite amusing encounter with some of the local wildlife, she finds herself in court and in the spotlight. Fortunately, Tate is there to help her out of a sticky situation and she soon finds herself falling for him.
This is quite a sweet story. Tate is lovely and he and Isabella are very well matched. I enjoyed the growth of their romance. The story moves along quite quickly and although there is a bit of a misunderstanding, this isn't really much more than a little blip on their trip to happiness together.
This series is a lovely, quiet lighthearted read. There's romance, a bit of heat and a lovely humourous touch which make this just the kind of read for a bit of light escapism. I'm looking forward to the rest of the books in the series.
