Ratings and reviews

I loved every book in this set and in this series. I read each of these books separately before this compilation came out. Aloha Texas is a wonderful romance with an edge of suspense. From the phone call that sends Nick back to the Texas town he grew up end and escaped from the story sends curves and spins that drive the plot much faster than a typical romance. For a dedicate diver now separated from the Navy returning to the woman who left him six years earlier brings pain that even he couldn't expect. But along with that pain comes a whole new world of life and love that he wouldn't have expected either. Great characters pulled me in as much as the beautiful plot of the first novel in the Aloha series. Almost Paradise --Some authors just know how to make characters touch us and become important to us; Chris Keniston is definitely one of those authors. The characters in the Aloha Series own my heart. They feel so real that they could be friends and other people I know. The taste of suspense that touches each stories just adds to wonderful character based plots. Romance the way I want to see it. Life isn't easy and people serious face problems, but there is always support and hope and lots of sexual energy. There is sex but it does not dominate the book. I actually read Mai Tai Marriage first and I loved it so much that as soon as I finished it, I started Aloha Texas. With the beauty of the islands as a back drop to hot military and ex-military heroes and strong independent woman and with unique and wonderful stories created by an author who knows how to hook her readers, this series and this book are not to be missed. From the title, the basis of the plot will be no surprised but the path to that Mai Tai Marriage and the twists and turns that follow it will delight the reader who will not find any same-old-same-old in this tale of love, confusion, and a little bit of suspense.

I absolutely adore this series and all of the accompanying Surf's Up Episodes. I buy every book as soon as the pre-order is available! The guys are adorable, and the women are totally bad***. Read it and you won't be disappointed!

About the author

USA TODAY Bestselling author Chris Keniston's love of a good story and frustration with the end of a well known author's romance best seller, drove her to pen her own works of romance and fiction.

Her romantic women's fiction novels include a variety of themes from international settings dealing with wealthy millionaires, family feuds and tropical beaches, to the relationships between family and friends in small town Texas, and to sisterhood and friendship in the award winning novel The Champagne Sisterhood.

Currently working on the contemporary romance Aloha series and her brand-new contemporary western romance Farraday Country series, Chris Keniston is enjoying playing with her former military heroes. Using popular themes of small towns and sandy beaches blended with stories of the single dad, survivors guilt, an accidental wedding and more is making the Aloha Series a reader's choice.

A native New Yorker, Chris Keniston was on her way to Australia when she fell in love with North Texas. Little did she know the balmy seventy degree October days would turn into fry-an-egg-on-the-sidewalk heat in August!

Author of more than a dozen contemporary novels, including a finalist for the prestigious Golden Heart Award, Chris lives in suburban Dallas with her husband, two human children, and two canine children. Though she loves her puppies equally, she admits being especially attached to her German Shepherd rescue named Gunny. After all, even dogs deserve a happily ever after.
