As soon as I saw that Jennifer Probst would be a part of this series I knew that I couldn't wait to get my hands on her book. She never fails to write a story that sucks me in and paints such a clear picture of what's happening that I feel like I'm watching a movie in my head. This book was no exception.
It was a fast-paced, sweet and fun read that was a bit insta-love but done in the right way. There was very little angst and it was a bit predictable but not in a way that took anything away from the story. It was steamy in a non-sleazy, not too far fetched way. I easily fell in love with the characters and am anxious to pick up the other books in the series. I recommend this to anyone looking for a quick, sweet read between a longer more angst filled novel.

Loved it! I wish it was a lot longer - really loved James and Quinn! Very hot! I think this is the coolest idea - 3 books in a series written by 3 different authors - looking forward to reading the other 2 books!

This was a quick, enjoyable read. I liked it more than I was expecting. Usually novellas are too short to really get a feel for characters, but the author did a great job. Sure, it was a little more insta-love than I usually like but it's a necessary evil in a novella. I've really enjoyed this author's work in the past and this did not disappoint.

They never expected or wanted to fall in love over spring break, but Quinn, Cassie and Mac are all for no strings attached sex.

When Quinn's eyes meet James's across a crowded spring break party, that went out the window.

I love that neither Quinn nor James are what everyone else thinks they are. Quinn is not the ice queen, and James is not just the rich party boy.
This is written from dual POV's which could have been confusing, but the way Ms Probst has written them, it is anything but. I loved that we got right into the heads of both characters.

Of course the road to true love is never a smooth one, so there is the misunderstanding that breaks them up. Ugh, I really, REALLY disliked James' "friends", if you could really call them that.

Will the misunderstanding be too much for their fledgling relationship, or if what they have had in their short time together stand up to the test?
Quinn and James are so sexy together, I just want them to make it. Do they?
Nope, for that you are going to have to read for yourself.

Quinn needs to loosen up and have some fun. James is a spoiled rich boy who is getting tired of it. She is different and James is intrigued by her. She's only in town for a week for spring break but they develop a quick connection. This is a fun, steamy story and I loved it.

***received ARC for and honest review***
I really enjoyed this story. The quest for the best spring break experience brings Quinn to Key West with her 2 friends. James is the ultimate party guy. And then they meet..
The book was a fun to read. The story of James and Quinn kept me entertained and hooked from page 1.
The dual POV was a nice switch up from this author's narrative. A must read!
