About this ebook

He's sexy, flirty, down-and-dirty trouble.

I entertain naked people for a living. No, not THAT kind of entertainment. I own a nudist resort. I'm not a nudist, but Val Silva is. And he's a human supernova sleeping in the room next door.

The man is tall, gorgeous, tattooed, and a shameless exhibitionist. As the Brazilian bad boy of the international football world, he's as famous for his sextape as for his talent on the field. Oh, did I mention he walks around naked ALL the time? A girl only has so much willpower. Maybe we can have a little fun… as long as his tabloid past doesn't mess with my quiet life.

Eve Holt is the sexiest woman I've ever seen, in those short-shorts and tank tops that make me wonder what she's hiding underneath. Most women love my wild side, but Eve thinks I'm trouble with a capital T. Okay, she might have a point there. But I always get what I want, and I want her. I didn't lead my team to Olympic gold by giving up. That's one fact about me Eve is about to learn.

Natural Passion is the first book in the Au Naturel Trilogy of romantic comedies from Anna Durand, the bestselling author of the Hot Scots series.

Ratings and reviews

★ Just could not say no to this infamous “hot mess” ★ —>>> It would take a lot for Eve Holt to remain completely immune to this infamous sports star, a “hot mess” of a guy named Val Silva when he showed up for a two-week stay at her Au Naturel Naturist Resort, but it would have been indeed difficult to deny her own body’s clamoring for that perfect male (and VERY much naked) specimen, especially when he was staying with her while his original room was being repaired for water damage…and making it clear to her that he was interested in doing more with her than just taking in what the resort has to offer. We get a front seat to Eve’s resistance gradually breaking down and her finally taking a chance with this guy and with her heart, which eventually sets her free from self constraints along the way. Loved the sense of family, both real and adopted, on this resort and how they all rally behind her in her times of need. Looking forward to Ollie’s story as well, now that I got a little taste of what is to come at the end of this story ;-D

Great story and a fresh storyline. She owns a nudist resort and he’s a guest. Great friends and family provide a nice backdrop. Good story development with two people who have obvious chemistry. I like the slow buildup, the introduction to other characters that I expect we’ll see in future books and the realistic timing. The characters feel real—they have baggage and hope. There are definitely some laugh out loud moments and you can feel the relationship develop and grow. (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).

I loved this sexy, smart rom-com! Eve honestly doesn't know what to do when Val shows up at her resort! He's shameless, flirty, overconfident but not quite arrogant, and oh-so-sexy! He's got a dirty mouth and a laser focus directed right at Eve. He has absolutely no inhibitions, and he's determined to rid Eve of all of hers. This was a delightful rom-com with a tasteful approach to the nudist/naturist lifestyle. I loved the extended cast of characters, from the resort regulars (Silver Foxes vs. Kitten Brigade) to the families of both main characters. There's just enough drama to keep things interesting, and plenty of fun times - clothed and unclothed - for all. It's a wonderful story with a solid HEA for Eve and Val, and an epilogue that leads us into the couple for the next book. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
