romancejunkie1025's review against another edition

not a bad short novella. I would have loved to see more about the characters, but i guess when you start a story with all the characters already involved-even in love- there's not too much development to work with. I would also have loved to see Trent's reaction to Kylie's polyamorous relationship... Who knew those tendencies ran in families? :)

LOVED IT!! No really. I loved this book. I connected with the characters. Understood their strife. Wished I could frolic on the beach with some damn hot men with Aussie accents. Straight up enjoyed every aspect of the book. Oh, and totally would have wanted to get with Paige too if I'd seen her in that maid's outfit. She was smokin'!
The only part I just couldn't imagine, which was the only downfall, was the description of the couch/chair/bench thingie. My poor brain just couldn't wrap around it. I stumbled around the entire scene.

Paige is planning to make her stay at Bandicoot Cove one she will never forget. Aware that her fling with the gorgeous Trent and Mason will soon be over, she vows to make this trip a memory that will last a lifetime. Truth is, she’s fallen hook line and sinker for the pair of Ozzie's, but she knows her time in Australia will soon be over, so plans to make all their fantasies come true in what little time they have left together. Trent and Mason have a plan. They have both fallen for the lovely Canadian, and plan to use Trent’s sisters’ grand opening to convince her that what they have together is for keeps. Can they use the beautiful resort to quell her fears that they can never be more than just sex? And how will she react to the thought of a more permanent relationship with the two hotties.
This is book two of this fantastic series and is the book written by the author I am most familiar with out of the three. Paige is a fantastic character. Uninhibited, a little insecure and a complete sweetheart, I adored her from the second we met her dressed in a French Maid’s uniform, pretending to clean the room (Trent’s fantasy is to have sex with a French maid). She is so sexually generous with them, because she loves them so much, so the fantasies she wants to fulfil aren’t hers, they are theirs. Her issue isn’t that she is in love with them both, her issue is that she may be forced to chose just the one of them, killing part of her heart, along with their friendship.
Trent and Mason are sweethearts. The central issue with these is these two is that they want Paige to be with them permanently, but they have no idea as to how. Both of these hunks worship the ground she walks on, would do almost anything for her (as can be shown by Masons reaction Trent having sex with the maid :D) and love the fact that she fits so well into their lives. For a second, Trent does feel a little weird about sharing the woman he loves with his best friend. That is until Mason puts his mind at ease
As with the first story, I didn’t see much character development with these two but I got a good sense of what lovely men they were by their treatment of Paige. Mason is protective and possessive whereas Trent is fun-loving and affectionate. A head-turning combination! The fella’s have good intentions but, like in any good plan, there are many stumbling blocks. They try to keep their plan to seduce her into submission a complete surprise; of course that comes back to bite them on the arse.
I had no complaints with this book. There is no mystery, no ridiculous sub-plots or random twists that made me want to scream. This is just a story of people falling in love unexpectedly, taking a casual relationship into something perfect. Of course, the major problem with their relationship is that there are three of them in it! They all felt they were fine sharing when they were just having sex, but is it normal to share a long-term partner? (Why settle for just one hot Ozzie when you can have two?)
The sex scenes in this book were the type to make your palms sweaty and your pulse race; we have M/F, M/F/M, anal, oral...all the usual culprits. A fab read..but look up a tantra chair BEFORE you begin....it will make the whole thing easier on your head :)

“I like doing stuff with you. It’s...right. We fit, and I don’t see any reason why we can’t keep doing things together. Even important things like getting married and having a family”

Paradise Found was a very fast, fun, and super sexy read from Vivian Arend. It is the 2nd book in the Bandicoot Cove series but was very easy to read as a stand-alone story.
I really loved Paige, Trent, and Mason together. It totally cracked me up that Trent and Mason were so hesitant to talk to Paige about where they wanted to take their relationship. I loved that Paige made sure to take time with both Trent and Mason individually as well as have time for them all together. Seriously smoking hot sex between them as a twosome or threesome.
I had to laugh that Mason and Trent wanted to make long term plans with Paige and she had quite her job to go back home to Canada, yet none had shared their plans with the other. Not being upfront with one another as soon as they arrived at Bandicoot Cove was my only issue with the story. I loved Mason and Trent and Paige together as a threesome, yet felt like they all should have been comfortable enough at this point in their relationship to be honest with one another.
I did love how they fixed everything and loved seeing them all finally admit their true feelings. I enjoyed this fun and super sexy story and fans of Ms. Arend will fall in love with her voice all over again.
