I really wanted to like this book. The synopsis held so much promise, but the book failed to deliver as much as I hoped for from it. I enjoyed it well enough, but with a few tweaks it could have been an even more enjoyable read.

So I finally finished the books I have of this series this week with this one. Just like the previous two books I absolutely LOVED it. I guess I will be looking for the next book because the end of this one definitely led into another book. I will definitely also be adding this author to list of favorites. Loved this series!

I tried really hard to get into this book and it's completely possible it was just my mindset at the time. I can see myself enjoying All I Ask at a later date but right now, it just wasn't for me.

Now THIS was a fun story! I feel as though each story in this series improves upon the last, which makes each of them that much more enjoyable.

Perhaps it was the opposites here that made it my favorite of the series, but I felt they had a lot of chemistry, both between the sheets and outside the bedroom.

I really liked Princess Isabella and rooted for her to find someone better than the royal pig her family wanted to the her to. Tate is such a contrast and though it seems like Isabella can't catch a break - who gets arrested for accosting an alligator? - having him come to get aid turns out to be just what she needed. It was so cool to see her go for a real happily ever after. Another good story in the series.

4 Second Chance Stars

All I know by Tamara Lush is the first in the Paradise Beach series. Damien and Kate have a second chance at love, after a near miss in high school. I enjoyed watching Kate & Damien rekindle their attraction to each other. I loved the secondary characters which to me makes a book great.

What starts out as a fake engagement, may just lead to true love. A lovely story of taking a chance and leaping into faith. The chemistry between these two starts right from the start and couldn't get enough of the two. This is a short sweet, hot, low angst, and perfect for a pick me up summer read. This was my first read from this author and will not be the last!! I'm looking forward to reading the second in this series.

"All I Ask" is the second book from Tamara Lush's Paradise Beach series. It is a well-written story that is sexy, hot, and replete with royalty. It takes place on a small island off the coast of Florida. This was an immediate read for me after I finished book one.

Princess Isabella is not your typical European royal. She is down to earth and prefers to spend her time doing charity work and championing the needs of the environment. The prince she is supposed to marry loves the spotlight, and his antics always end up in the tabloids. Before she makes a final decision about her future, she decides to get some rest and relaxation on Paradise Beach. It is there where Bella meets Tate Hastings, a gorgeous lawyer who specializes in environmental law. Tate becomes her attorney when she gets arrested for harassing an alligator, along with a couple of other minor charges. Once her arrest is made public, the paparazzi swoops in, creating even more havoc in her life. Isabella and Tate spend a ton of time together, which evolves into lust and love.

I loved this book. The characters are interesting and engaging. Isabella's mother is especially entertaining, due to her narrow view of the world around her. Chunky, Tate's overweight pug, is quite humorous. The Hasting brothers are a captivating bunch and I can't wait to read Remy's story. Overall, a solid romantic read with a hot couple both in and out of the bedroom.

Another Hastings man has fallen hard and fast. Tate has been sunk. The lawyer and the princess have a magical fairytale filled with sea turtle smells and a floating red tomato of a dog. (Chunky is a major...huge part of this story!)

This adorable and sexy story is the kind that brings a smile to your face and makes you eager for the next installment of fun. The way Ms. Lush set up Remy leaves me no doubt he found his treasure too!

All I Ask is the third book in the Paradise Beach series, but it works well enough as a standalone. Princess Isabella of Montignac is being pressured by her parents into marrying a pompous jerk she's grown up with, a neighboring country's prince. Once they're married she'll be queen, but she wants none of it so she decides to take some time away by flying to Florida to vacation. (Looking back on it, that seems weird - you have all the resources in the world and you choose to go to...Florida?? She explains that she enjoyed it in college, but still.) Anyway, in Florida she meets environmental lawyer Tate who comes to her rescue after a run in with an alligator and some overzealous Florida cops. Tate and Bella have instalove on steroids. They meet, are attracted to each other, find out they both care about the environment, and decide they're destined to be together. Their relationship moved way too fast for me - I found it hard to believe that Bella would agree to stay with a guy she just met. My other issue with this book is that we don't get to understand the characters at all, especially Tate. We know he's handsome and successful and cares about the environment because we keep being told that. But he doesn't have a personality. I was also wishing there was more of a plot other than just Bella's engagement and her weird court case. Since the book was mostly just about how much Tate and Bella loved each other, immediately and for no apparent reason, it got a little dull. I thought the story had tons of potential, and I love the idea of a runaway, environmentally conscious princess, but this book lost me a bit in the execution.

All I Ask is the third book in Paradise Beach series. Can be read as a standalone. I was excited to read this book I mean it has a Princess who wants privacy, and a sexy as sin laywer Tate. Bella and Tate had instant chemistry from the moment they met. It was a light read, fun, family, and Chunky. Looking forward to Remi story next.

I received this story from Netgalley!

This one is my favorite of the series. I think I'm finally warming up to the author and her writing style. All I Ask was sweet, entertaining and enjoyable. It had a lot of fun moments and very little drama. She brings attention to a serious subject but does it with the banter and fun that I really enjoy in this series.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of all I ask. I have really loved the paradise beach series and this one was no exception. I love the area the book takes place and the characters are always like able. The only little thing I didn’t love about this one was the royal aspect. Royal romances aren’t usually my thing for some reason but for this series I can for sure look past that.

The third book in the series and probably the sweetest but enjoyable nevertheless.
In comes a princess with a chance to lose her title and inheritance but to gain a future full of love and happiness with her swoony lawyer and his dog.
Another story full of laugh out loud moments, steamy scenes and chemistry and some small suspenseful events. Old and new characters are making an appearance and will see what the next books are bringing in for this series that it's perfect for the romantic comedies lovers.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again, I love this series of books. Even though you can read any of them as a stand-alone, the characters from previous books are intertwined in the current and it makes it that much more special. I’m impatiently waiting for “All I Do”

Thank you to Kindle, NetGalley and Tamara Lush for gifting me with the ARC.

3.5 Stars Entertaining!!

This is the third book in the Paradise Beach series, and the story of Tate, and Isabella. Isabella is the Princes of Montignac, she has escaped to the Island to avoid he Royal troubles. While staying in Paradise beach, Isabella meets Tate, when his dog pees on her pillow. When thing start to go terribly wrong for Isabella, and she ends up in need of a lawyer, Tate come to the rescue. These two have an immediate attraction, and when Tate take her home, while they clear up her legal issues, the chemistry is steamy. This was an entertaining read, sweet, fun, intriguing, and steamy. 3.5 Stars

I was curious about this author. The blurb sounded exciting and enticing. I’m slightly disappointed in myself that I didn’t connect more to these characters and storyline. I really wanted to like this story. Although I didn’t connect with it, it doesn’t mean others won’t.

I have now read all 3 books in this series.
This one is the best. I really enjoyed it!
He's a lawyer and she's a princess. That's different, right?? I've never read a story like this one.

I do recommend you read this one - can be read on its own with no issues.

A little too much silly comedy...silly lines, silly behavior...just a little too much for me.
Every scene seemed a little overboard, almost felt like every cliche’ possible for each situation was being used.

Sorry, this one just wasn’t for me.

Thank you NetGalley and Tamera Lush for an advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

I was just enjoying All I Know and All I Want, when I saw the arc of All I Ask coming on Netgalley. So, of course, I had to request it. The story continues in All I Ask with Tate taking care of the cute pug dog, that they had rescued in the previous books. When the dog accidentally pees on the pillow of one of the guests of their resort, Tate asks the gorgeous woman out as a repayment. Little did he know, that this woman is a princess.
Isabella cares more about her environmental work, than her throne. But when her betrothed has been caught sniffing coke of the back of a Vegas girl, she flees the country to Paradise Beach. But when she ends up in jail for harassing a crocodile (who tried to eat her paddle, thank you very much!) she asks for a lawyer. And ends up with Tate (the owner of the cute dog who asked her out) being her representative.
To ensure her privacy, Tate takes Isabella home, to await her trial. Being basically trapped in his apartment, Tate and Isabella learn a lot about each other and their common interests. But how can a lawyer and a princess be a match? Is Isabella willing to give up her title and her throne for Tate? And is Tate up for the total lack of privacy as a famous royal? Find out for yourself in this sweet read. Four out of five stars from me and I will be awaiting the next parts in this series. Thank you Netgalley for providing the arc.
