All I Do is Remy and Leilani's story. Remy is a charter fish captain while Leilani wants to open her mermaid themed bar. She also wanted to escape her past, especially from an abusive ex.

Remy told Leilani he was only interested in no-strings-attached sex and Leilani agreed. But once she got a taster of Remy, she couldn't get enough. Remy couldn't get enough of Leilani either. They just won't admit it.

Something quite serious happened towards the end and Remy swore to help and protect Leilani. A very sweet and steamy story but a bit of a dark past.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley.

All I do is the third book in the series, but I was honestly able to follow along without an issue.
This book follows Remy and Leilani and their "instalove" connection. Leilani is starting over, and Remy is running from his past. kind of cliche, but it works.
Their connection is steamy.
The writing is great, and the book was overall pretty good.

C ute story about Charter fishing boat captain Remy Hastings and new bar owner Leilani Kostas. She is running away from her past and starting over in Paradise Beach. Opening a mermaid bar. Remy spots her swimming as a mermaid in the ocean and is immediate smitten.

I liked their story, It wasn't my favorite in the series, but still cute!

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, I absolutely adore the Paradise Beach series.

In the latest edition to the series Leilani a former mermaid performer moves down to Paradise Beach to open her dream bar Mermosa. Charter boat captain and well known bachelor Remy literally falls overboard when he sets eyes on the stunning mermaid. Sparks are instantly lit when the two meet and they can’t seem to stay away from each other. But with Leilani recently out of a bad relationship and Remy only wanting a no strings situation will it be possible for these two to be able to deny the strong feelings that are beginning to grow between them or will they put their fears behind them.

What I love about the Paradise Beach series is that it has humor, engaging characters you will be rooting for from the beginning, a little suspense, and a whole lot of steam. This book did not disappoint on any level and the steam factor...Damn.

Remy is the wild child of the bunch but just like the other brothers he falls hook line and sinker. Such a good story of love and happiness! These two were perfect for one another.

Ever the bachelor, Remy was never supposed to fall. Who better than a mermaid to snare the life long fisherman!

All I Do is Remy's chance at forever, even if he never knew he wanted it. Paradise Beach is all about the whirlwind romances. I can't tell if it's in the water or the air, but just know...its contagious!

Happily Ever After is not just a state of mind here!

I can't wait for Nat's book, next. I'm also hoping Sadie gets her pirate booty!

All I Do is a great fun read. I enjoyed Remy and Leilani's story and look forward to more from this author.

All I do is book three in the Paradise Beach series (yes, book one is actually the prequel) and I thoroughly enjoyed Remy & Leilani’s story. This would definitely be described as a fun romp, with plenty to smile about throughout the story. I loved that even though Remy had finally found his perfect woman, Leilani was determined to make him work for her affection. Good characters and an interesting storyline made this an easy one-sitting read.

After enjoying the previous All I books, I was very happy to see that Remy got his own story. Ever since his brothers Damien, Max and Tate got their happy endings, I was really looking forward to see the last of the brothers get is happy ending. Remy is the playboy of the family. Never staying with a girl for too long and enjoying his freedom on his boat.
So, when he encounters a mermaid, he believes he is dreaming. Leilani loves swimming with her mermaid tale. She is very excited to be able to open up her own bar in mermaid theme. After having been stuck in a very abusive relationship, she now tries to build a new live, including a new bar.
Since the attraction between Remy and Leilani is through the roof, the both agree to a night of fun with no strings attached. Remy is thrilled, because he doesn't do relationships. But when Leilani walks out of his life after the best night of his life, Remy isn't so sure he has made the right decision.
So maybe, Remy can convince her for a do-over of a passionate night. And again, and again. A wonderful story about relationships, fear of commitment and fun and laughter. Four out of five stars from me and hopefully the last of the Hasting siblings will get her happy ending as well. With a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

Another light, fun read from Tamara Lush.
Leilani has been swimming in a local mermaid show for years. At 30 she realizes she is getting too old to still be a mermaid, her boyfriend has become even more abusive, and she has no financial way of starting over. That is until her dear aunt leaves her a hefty inheritance, Fleeing her boyfriend, she finds herself on Paradise Beach, where she decides to open up a mermaid bar. The locals are supportive and excited for the new business, especially Remy, the Island's Playboy. When Remy and Leilani are paired up for the local business competition, sparks will fly, but can they maintain their friends with benefits pact, or will hearts get broken when friendship develops into love?
Great, easy read!

This series just keeps getting better. This is Remy's story and it is perfect. I could totally visualize the moment when he meets Leilani, the writer describes the scene perfectly. As always things aren't perfectly smooth for this couple either. Each has a self discovery journey to go through to find out what they truly want out of their lives. The chemistry is hot, the sex steamy, the road to romance is sweet. There were so many things I loved about this book. One of my favorite parts was the appearance of Damien. I can't wait for his and Kate's next book. Up next is Natalia and it sounds like it's going to get interesting. I can't wait for more!

Such an enjoyable series!

Whether you've read the other stories in the Paradise Beach series or you're starting out with All I Do, you're certainly in for a real treat. Tamara Lush has hooked me with the great cast of characters that she introduced the reader to in book one and I was excited to finally read Remy's story. From the perfect beach setting to the men and women who live in Paradise Beach and even the guest appearance of the family dog, each one of these stories warms your heart and soothes your soul.

The story starts out with Leilani's mother giving her an inheritance check from her aunt that recently passed away. Leilani has been stuck in an unhealthy environment and this check is just what she needs to start her life all over again and to make her dream of opening Mermosa a reality. She stumbles upon Remy while she's taking a swim and there's no denying the chemistry. Remy is a good guy but he's never been one for getting serious. He and Leilani are good for each other and with their love of the water, it's somewhat of a healing process for them both.

I love how Lush gives the reader a situation within the story that many will be able to relate to. Basically, an escape from something that's happened in their lives. The characters are all genuine and you will love them fiercely. I've really enjoyed getting to know the family that these stories are centered around and look forward to the next installment.

Five stars!

Grab a pina colada, put your feet up and feel the sun on your skin and the sound of the ocean and you are back in Paradise Beach with the Hasting's family.
Remy, Pardise Beach's sexy playboy and owner, operator of a fishing boat meets mermaid Leilani Kostas while she's swimming in the gulf of Mexico. Leilani has left a bad relationship and her home town to move to Paradise Beach and open a mermaid-themed bar. From the moment Remy and Leilani meet there is a chemistry and the fun begins. This book can be read as a stand alone but it's more fun reading about all the siblings of the Hastings family in the "All I" series. This book like the others is an easy, fun read. Enjoy!

This is the first book that I have read by this author and it was an interesting one for me. It having to do with a fisherman Remy and Leilani being a mermaid, I don’t usually read books that have to do with they type of thing. This one for some reason caught my attention and I’m glad that I did.
This book was mysterious and the sexual chemistry between the two was hot. This is the perfect beach read to have on a hot and summer day, sitting on the deck looking over the ocean and hoping that you will find a Remy of your own.
After reading this book I’m definitely going to have to look into reading the other in the series.

I'm always excited to review an ARC but I almost didn't put in a request for this one because of it being published so soon (today!). I started and finished this book yesterday. It was that good. I mean who doesn't love mermaids, bars, sexy fishermen, and a lot of steamy scenes. I also doesn't hurt that there is still a good story line too.
I give All I Do 4/5 stars. I was hooked from the beginning (actually I was hooked from the description on NetGalley). When I first received this book, I was a little panicked because of how close the release date was and then on top of that I find out that it's the third book in a series (with a prequel!). So of course I hop on Amazon and buy the 3 other books so I can be caught up on everything in this series. I started with the prequel a couple of days ago and blew through that one (which is another sexy, steamy romance featuring a different Hastings brother that maybe I'll review next). Then I realize that I don't have to read them in order so I dive right into All I Do.
First off I love the names Tamara Rush chooses for her books. In this one the main characters are Remy and Leilani. Leilani is a professional mermaid in an abusive relationship who inherits some money from her aunt. She uses this money to start over and try to make her dreams a reality. She has a very steamy encounter with Remy that she thinks will just be a one time thing. Little does she know they are going to be working very closely together on her new business.
Leilani is fighting an internal battle throughout this book that I do think some women will find relatable. I only highlighted one quote this entire book and it was, "That's the problem when you've been abused and the target of gaslighting. You never know when to believe someone." I think this can really strike home with some readers and I think it's important to bring up these issues so they get brought into light more often. She is such a strong woman, as are all the women in her books, which is important especially when a large portion of the potential audience could be young women.
Can Remy give up his bachelor life and his freedom? Will Leilani be able to move on from her past? Could they possibly be happy together? With strings attached? I guess you're going to have to read to find out! I'm going to finish Rush's other books after work in a long hot bath. I learned the hard way that these books are way too stimulating to read on my lunch break at work ;) . Happy reading!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 STARS

What a great story...a fisherman finally catches a real live mermaid!

I thought this book was such a playful read. I especially loved how Remy and Leilani met and I can just imagine the awestruck expression on his face once he catches sight of Leilani swimming out in the open water using a mermaid fin. Truly mysterious and magical! Oooh...and the sexual chemistry between these two is so hot that it will make you want to take a dip just to cool off.

If you're wanting something light and a fun beach read, look no further. Where else can you find what you're looking for but in PARADISE...Paradise Beach...that is. This is a MUST read! All I Do is the third book in the Paradise Beach Series by Tamara Lush and will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ELITE!!!

I nearly missed this latest instalment of Paradise Beach. I thought that I'd already read book three, but it turns out that book one is actually a pre-series book (0.5 or similar). Fortunately, I spotted that this was one that I was yet to try and I'm glad that I did. I've enjoyed all of the books that follow the Hastings family so far, this one was no exception.
Remy, twin of Damian (who we met in All I Know) is a confirmed bachelor. When he meets a real-life mermaid (no really, but you'll have to read the book to find out how that's possible) he can't fight the instant attraction. Fortunately, she wants nothing more than a 'friends with benefits' situation. After inheriting some money from an aunt, Leilani leaves her abusive boyfriend and moves to set up her own business. Of course, the more time that they spend together and in bed, they soon come to mean much more to each other than just friends.
This is quite a sweet story. Remy, despite his playboy reputation, is lovely. Leilani, with her love of the sea, is the perfect match for this professional fisherman. I really enjoyed reading the progression of their story.
I can't wait to read the next book in the series, featuring the only daughter in the family. I'm really enjoying Paradise Beach.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
