"​​​​​All I Want" is the second book from Tamara Lush's Paradise Beach series. It is a well-written story that is both hip and modern. It takes place on a small island off the coast of Florida, where the locals are very welcoming. This was an immediate read for me after I finished book one.

Social media influencer Lauren Spencer, has come to Paradise Beach to attend her best friend's quickly arranged wedding. The best man, Max Hastings, is the groom's older brother, and he is the first person to formally greet Lauren. Lauren finds him naked in her hotel room, and as uncomfortable as the situation is, they share an instant attraction. Max's family owns the hotel. He is a very successful real estate broker in New York City, and he is temporarily living at the resort while he gets it ready to be sold.

When Lauren fractures her ankle, it is Max who comes to her rescue. Their lust for each other evolves into much more, as Max basically nurses her back to health. Their sexy times are hot, both in and out of the bedroom. Both of them are commitment phobic, however, love and understanding does conquer all.

This is a nicely-paced story with well-defined and identifiable characters. This novel incorporates a few emotional elements, and Max’s family adds depth and some humor. Lauren’s childhood was sad, which causes her to be quite vulnerable at times. If you are looking for a contemporary romance with an engaging plot and a happily-ever-after that will leave a smile on your face, this book is for you.

The second in this series. I must admit I liked the first one better. I think it has to do with the fact I did not really like the heroine that much. Or it is my prejudice against influencers haha. But even then, I did like the book. I enjoyed seeing Kate and Damien from the first book. The stories are intertwined a bit, so some scenes from book 1 are seen now from another POV. The romance was steamy and I do like the 'bit grumpy older brother' getting his story!

A perfect romance beach read that will keep you entertained. I loved how easily Max & Lauren’s relationship played out. This was definitely my favorite in the series so far, but I love them all. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC.

Steamy, and sweet.

This is the second book in the Paradise Beach series, and the story of Max, and Lauren. Although this book can be read as a standalone, the story does continue from the first book, where we meet Damien, Max's brother, and Kate, Lauren's best friend. Kate, and Damien are getting married, Lauren is Kate's maid of honor, but she thinks Kate is making a mistake, and she has intentions of stopping the wedding. But when she arrives in Florida for the weeding, she is find a very naked Max in her hotel room, and the sparks fly. Max wants Lauren, and acting on her attraction, Lauren agrees to spending the weekend in his bed, but what happens when the weekend isn't enough, and Max wants more? This was a sweet romantic story, passionate, steamy, emotional and entertaining.

This is the second book in a series but could be read as a standalone. The story takes place in a small Florida town, and is based a romance between Max and Lauren.
They meet at a wedding, And although try and fight their chemistry it’s undeniable..
While I enjoyed the first book in the series this book lacked any depth, and I didn’t feel any spark between the two main characters and I was happy to finish it.

All I Want is another great quick beach read from Tamara Lush. Loved reading about Max & Lauren and looking forward for this series to continue!

Another fun read, I found this improved on the first book a lot, it just seemed to grip you more, I enjoyed the first too, but this seemed much better. Great chemistry, nice romance and story.

The second book in Tamara Lush’s Paradise Beach series was better than book one, but still not up to my expectations from this author. I’m starting to get the vibe that the author is attempting to write a light-hearted, comical series, but is failing to differentiate between the light and serious moments in her stories. The author also needs to be mindful going into too much detail when outlining someone’s line of work Do we seriously need to know all the ins and outs of the being a social media influencer. Really, who cares? I liked this story more than the previous book and it was a decent read overall, but I’m still wanting the author to decide what trope she is writing, as at the moment the lines are blurred.

The second book in the Paradise Beach series, All I want, is a fabulous sequel to All I Know. Lauren will go to Paradise Beach with a mission, but things have a way derailing even the best laid plans. Max and Lauren are great together and they definitely steam up the pages. I am really enjoying these books and recommend you try them yourself.

I love this series! The romance is sweet, sexy, and realistic. The characters are intriguing and make you invested in their lives. Max and Lauren are the perfect love story to follow Damien and Kate. This one starts right before the wedding and gives a different perspective to some of the things from the first book. It also changed my feelings about Max and Lauren, I didn't care for either before this book. Now I'm just as in to their story. These characters and place are starting to feel like old friends. I can't wait for Tate, Remy, and Natalie to have their journeys told.

I'm really enjoying this series from Tamara Lush, this is the second Paradise Beach book that I've read in the last few days and I don't think that it will be the last. While the first book focused on Damian and Kate who fall in love after reconnecting years after they knew each other at high school, this second book is about Damian's brother Max and Kate's best friend Lauren.
Max is a workaholic who owns a real estate business in New York. Lauren is a social media influencer. After an accident at Paradise Beach, Lauren finds that she has to stay there for a while and as they spend more time together she and Max fall for one another.
This is quite a fun, lighthearted series. Having said that, despite it being lighter, it does at least touch on some more weightier issues. Lauren is dealing with (or it might be more accurate to say not dealing with) having an addict for a parent and how that has made her who she is. It also talks about the way social media projects lies and that much of it is fake. The combination of this fairly easy read, with something a little deeper, makes for a very interesting and entertaining read.
This is a romance and there's plenty of that. Max is a sweetheart and Lauren lovely, they work well together. I think that one of the things that I like about this series so far is that although they all have issues to deal with, the conflict doesn't feel contrived or over the top, as can happen in this type of book. The characters don't spend pages battling with their feelings or not really understanding what they are beginning to feel for the other person, even if they don't know how they feel. Somehow it's all much more natural than some other books.
I really enjoyed Lauren and Max's book and I suspect that we will see more of them in future books. Kate and to a much lesser extent Damian appeared in this one. All in all this a great series that I'm really enjoying.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Great romance book
This is the second book in the Paradise Beach series, and it truly continues where the first book leaves off. No cliff hangers just continues to develop other characters in the series.
Lauren is a blogger traveling around the world representing various brands and marketing them on her blog. Her real passion is photography. She comes home from Italy for her best friends wedding, only to fall instantly for the grooms brother, Max. Max is a businessman, always putting work before pleasure. He has come home not only for the wedding, but to help his parents with their failing resort.
Can these two very different people have more than a wedding fling?
This is an easy, light romance that leaves the reader feeling good.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

4 stars!
I really liked Lauren and Max's story! This was even better than the first book! The Hastings brothers have me falling in love with the whole family. Kate & Damien's wedding is the back from for Lauren and Max's story. I must say, I kinda loved their story !

Such a great story!! Loved this story!! Each of the books are a little different and I love that aspect of it. Definitely a series to enjoy.
