Series: Welcome to Paradise #3
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release date: January 9, 2014
Synopsis:
Evan
Ashford is sex personified. He makes me feel things I never have and
crave things I’m not sure I should. Time doesn’t exist when we’re
together—all of our worries becoming obsolete. Our tongues touch,
and as if by memory, they move in harmony, feeling at peace, feeling
at home.
Despite his mother’s best efforts to drive us apart and the miles that separate us, I’m ready—ready to claim what’s mine.
In an instant, his lips are pressed firmly against mine, consuming my words as if hearing them isn’t enough. Desire turns to need as he tastes and savors every syllable ever spoken from my heart to his.
Mallory Wray caught my attention and stole my heart. The emerald of her eyes draws me in, and it’s so easy to see why I fell in love with her. I run my hand over her cheek and into her hair, admiring everything I’ve missed so much. That familiar intensity that formed our bond back in Hawaii exists again. It’s comforting, engulfing, making my chest ache in the most painfully acute way. My heart feels grounded in her. This is right, this is us, I can finally breathe again.
Her hand settles on my cheek and a soft smile appears. “My sweet surfer. What a change a month makes.”
“It’s not the month that changed me. It’s the girl.” I turn and kiss her palm. “You make me want more than I feel I deserve.”
“You deserve everything your heart desires.”
“My heart only desires you.”
“Then I’m yours. All yours. Always.”
Life has taken these two young lovers in different directions. Can their love bring them back together? Will they be able to find their paradise once again?

Evan
saunters to me, and says, “About that undying devotion, Miss Wray.”
“And
here I thought you’d only be focused on the naughty you threw into
the bet at the end there.”
“You
caught that, huh?”
I
lean forward as if I’m going to tell him a secret, but don’t
bother whispering. “Hate to break it to you, but I had you all
figured out at the airport and I still slept with you. I kind of
expect some naughty when it comes to you, Mr. Ashford.”
Grabbing
me around the neck in a pretend headlock, he laughs. “This is why
we make such a great team. We understand the dynamics of our
relationship and have our priorities straight.”
“Always
the charmer when it comes to sex,” I add, rolling my eyes, and
patting my hair back into place.
“Worked
on you.” He smiles, taking my hand and kissing it. “Luckily for
me.”

“You
own my every thought, my heart, and my soul.”
When
I read the first Welcome to Paradise book (Good Vibrations), I
thought Evan and Mallory were just the most adorable couple ever!
S.L. Scott wrote a couple who realized right away that they had
something very special. Evan and Mallory are young, carefree, and so
much in love. The gorgeous Hawaiian backdrop is the cherry on top!
Going through the series, they seem to hit several obstacles that try
to tear them apart. Although there was a lot of tension, a lot of
ups and downs, these two never lost focus on what they truly wanted,
which was to be together. Even apart they made things work the best
way they knew how.
Both
Mallory and Evan do a lot of growing in Good Sensations. Each stand
their ground as people and stress from work and school make things
difficult. They always seem to have their work cut out for them. My
gosh, are they so hopelessly in love and full of naughtiness! One of
the things I've enjoyed is all the banter between the friends. You
gotta love friends who are funny and super supportive. Mallory's dad,
Clay, steals some scenes in this book, too!
I
think it's more enriching reading the books in this series in order.
They meet in book 1, then each book after is a continuation of their
whirlwind love affair. Good Sensations is my favorite of the
trilogy. The entire second half of this book is dreamy. I smiled
all the way to the beautiful end. It was just so perfect for Evan
and Mallory!
