Too much of an exact copy of the first book. I like that it dives right in and we donât have to learn a whole new world, we get dumped into a scene we know, but this girls perspective of it, but like LITERALLY you couldnât change up the plot even a bit? Repeated almost beat for beat. Also whatâs with these sisters running away? Again- a normal conversation really can solve a lot in romance novels.

A very solid read extremely steamy the writing style did sort of bother me i think it would have been better if it was more like [b:Twisted Games|56653002|Twisted Games (Twisted, #2)|Ana Huang|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1625752847l/56653002._SY75_.jpg|88534026] in terms of writing style but other than that it was pretty good.

Just like with the first one, I like this book for what it is - a whole lot of spice! The writing is okay and the plot feels a little disjointed at times. The flow isnât the greatest during the regular dialogue, but it seems to be a lot better during the spicy scenes. It feels like the author had a really good idea of what the sex scenes should look like, and did a really great job of mapping them out and writing them, but kinda of hastily threw in the rest.Â
Both MCs were okay. Alex is supposed to be this big hopeless romantic, but I didnât really see that. I guess it may be hard to be overly romantic at a sex resort so it didnât bother me too much. Ivy had A LOT of baggage that I wanted her to work through way before she did. I found it hard to believe how quickly she flipped when she got to the resort. One second sheâs nervous to even talk to her sister about sex and the next sheâs having a threesome. Again, it didnât really bother me because this series is all about the spice for me.Â

I fell in love with Alex and Ivy in this book!! They are the sweetest 2 charactersâŚ.but donât let that deceive you because this book has lots of dirty and spicy sex scenes! Definitely worth reading after youâve read book 1 as it has a lot of crossover from Paradise! The timeline of both books is about the same as Ivy is Camrynâs sister and Alex is Nateâs brother.
Alex might just be a new favorite book boyfriend who is caring and has the biggest heart! Then there is innocent Ivy who is trying to come out of her shell after a really bad relationship. The 2 of them together makes for a charming and sexy romance that does have some drama from the past mixed in. âHe makes me feel safe around him. Maybe thatâs why I feel comfortable brain-dumping my innermost thoughts to him after only knowing him for twenty-four hours.â

I enjoyed this more than the first one but something was still missing. The smut was fantastic and really hot but I could do without the plot and just make it straight up smut.
This had a strange 3rd act conflict just like the first book which took me out of the story. It seems like a trend for the author to bring out sensitive topics just for drama of it. That I did not like at all. I also didnât like the fact that I had to read the exact same scenes with the exact same dialogue from the first book several times just from a different perspective.
