In EMBRACED AT SEASIDE...

After working hard all day creating his beautiful metal sculptures, Hunter Lacroux likes to unwind with a hot babe--or two. But after spending a handful of nights with smart, sassy, and beautiful Jana Garner, the woman who challenges everything he does and says, Hunter wants more.

 

As a dancer, boxer, actress, and waitress, Jana is tough, organized, and as dedicated as she is committed. She has to be to maintain her crazy schedule. But when it comes to men, Jana's had a string of bad relationships, and there's only one thing she'll commit to--not committing.

 

Passion ignites every time Jana and Hunter are together, but the closer Hunter gets, the faster Jana runs. When Hunter lays on the charm, Jana throws out a challenge she's sure he can't meet, and Hunter steps up to the plate, forcing her to face her hurtful past or let go of him forever.

Ratings and reviews

I was a little unsure at the beginning. Hunter and Jana are little different then the previous books, but I shouldn't have worried. I'm a huge fan of this series and I fell in love with this book as I did the previous books. Hunter and Jana both grow a lot through the book. They both want nothing to do with relationships and just a have a good time. Then something shifts between the two and feelings blossom. It's a great read and reading the journey these two take to get to their HEA is beautiful. One of my favorite things about this book is how Hunter learns how to romance a woman. It's funny and beautiful at the same time. The ending couldn't have been anymore perfect.

Its a challenging time at Seaside! Jana and Hunter have had a teasing relationship with the occasional hook up. Both shy away from a full relationship. All that is set to change when Jana tells Hunter he wouldn't know how to romance a girl. This is one challenge Hunter will pull out all the stops to win. For me this was a fun and flirty read and a great addition to the Seaside series

This was the story of Hunter and Jana. Hunter is an amazingly talented artist who works with his brother making custom metal sculptures. Hunter has always been a player. He’s never been a one woman kind of guy and he doesn’t do relationships. Then there’s Jana. She was hurt by guys she dated when she was younger and has decided that she’s not cut out for relationships. She likes to live life to the fullest. She loves her job as a dance instructor, she enjoys boxing with her brother, and she misses her time at the theatre and hopes to get back to it someday. With everything going on in her life, the last thing she has time for is men. But for some reason, whenever Jana and all her friends get together, including Hunter, she always ends up going home with Hunter. They start off bickering over just about any topic, but end up tearing up the sheets by the end of the night! Over time, Hunter realizes that Jana is different than anyone else he’s ever known and that his feelings for her are more than just friendship. Jana doesn’t make it easy for him though. She’s so worried about getting in a relationship and having it end badly, that she fights Hunter at every turn. But Hunter doesn’t give up easily. He realizes that what they have is worth fighting for. This was such a great story. The relationships between not only Jana and Hunter, but all their siblings and friends, was sweet, sexy, and a whole lot of sass all rolled into one. I would definitely recommend reading this book. You’ll probably want to read the whole series when you’re done! I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
