I laugh and find myself tempted by her hand, which sits on the metal table. After our impromptu snogging session, Jade put on a nice little sundress which has my imagination running wild and some strappy sandals. Her toes are painted a turquoise blue. I found it a little weird at first; normally I see reds or pinks on toes, but rarely a blue colour. I quite like it. I like it a lot. In fact, I’ve yet to find something about this woman I don’t like.
“And yet, you didn’t. I came over and kissed you. You could’ve punched me, kicked me in the nuts, or groped me. I’m grateful you let me kiss you the way I did.”
She blushes again. “Why did you? I’m sure there are other, more beautiful women at the resort that would’ve been happy to oblige you.”
“But then I wouldn’t be here with my pretend wife, trying to get to know more about her.”
Her eyes don’t waver from mine as she takes a sip of her cocktail. “Do you really want to get to know me?”
“The fake you, yes. I don’t want to get cornered by one of the triplets and not know my facts.”
“Are they in fact, triplets?”
I shake my head. “I haven’t got a bloody clue, to be honest with you. Fake tits all look the same at the end of the day.”
Her mouth falls open into a sexy little O and images of other ways I can make that happen pop straight into mind. “I named them Muffy, Tuffy, and Buffy. The names seemed fitting,” she says with a shrug.
I crack the fuck up. “Then that is what we’ll call them until they leave.”
“Do you know when that is? Or what room they’re in?”
I lean over the table and pick her hand up. “They leave after us, and no, I don’t, thank goodness. I don’t care either. I made you a promise and I always keep my promises.” I bring her hand to my lips and let them linger against her skin until a passer-by makes a comment about us being in love.
Not love, lust though, and I couldn’t be happier that I chose her to be my distraction this week. When I finally let go of her hand, she picks up her drink and finishes it.
“Want another one?” I ask, already standing by the time she nods. I lean down and kiss the top of her head, inhaling the scent of her shampoo. The smell of grapefruit assaults my senses, making my heart race. I groan as I walk into the restaurant. I could’ve easily waited for the waitress to come back to us, but I needed to step away from Jade for a minute. She’s fucking deadly with her innocent façade and I have a strong reason to believe I’m going to fall victim to her and love every minute of it.
When I walk out, there’s a bloke talking to her as if it’s an everyday occurrence. I have never been jealous of any man until now. The pure rage I feel, watching him talk to my pretend wife almost takes over my body, yet I find the will to let it go. Who am I to stand in the way of her potential hook-ups?

********MY REVIEW*******
Sexcation is one unbelievably
hot and steamy sexy summer romance read. Both characters Jade and Jackson
make up this couple who have a holiday fling then you part ways never to
see each other again. Why would she have this fling, well Jade has
recently broken up with her long term boyfriend and after some hard core push by her best friend, decided to
go away for a week’s holiday on her own. Jackson is there at
this resort because he is worn out and wants to just regroup and disconnect
from his busy life for a week and relax. All that was Jackson’s plan
until he lays eyes on “Jade” and then he
finds out he is in the room next to hers.
He makes his move when she is at the pool for he swims around and over
to her, gets out, walks over to her, kisses her deeply and then sits down
beside her. Talk about first impressions… Jade finds herself agreeing to
play his wife for the week they are there. He wants to be ‘unavailable’ to
other women so he can just unwind without having to fight off women and
Jade thinks for her, a bit of harmless fun won’t hurt anyone. The chemistry between these two is immediate
and deep. They can’t help but keep their hands off one another. This vacation
is really a sexcation of epic proportions---- When the week is over, they part
ways at the airport terminal they keep the anonymity up, both of them hoping to
one day cross paths again, but never saying it to each other.
About a month later, Fate
plays a hand when they meet up again and find out who each really are. Jackson
works in the same industry as Jade’s parents, an industry she has deep
issues with and distances herself from. When she finds out the man
she is in love with works in that business, it disrupts everything she thought
she knew, everything she was building in her head with Jackson. Can they
overcome the large barrier that has been erected between them? Will Jackson be
able to help Jade slay her demons once and for all? This is such a fabulous story with awesome
secondary characters and the plot really works. It is told in two parts and I
enjoyed the steamy scenes completely. Loved it!
My Rating: 4.6 stars *****
