PARADISE has never been so fulfilling!!!

Serena Graham plans to indulge in her every fantasy during her week stay at the Paradise Resort. Living in a small town in Kansas, teaching at the local college, Serena doesn’t have the freedom for ‘extracurricular activities’. She is itching to find a someone to spend the week with and fulfill every one of her fantasies...and his! Author Michael Donovan is at the Paradise Resort to do research on his next erotic crime novel. Michael had also planned to spend some much heated time with his girlfriend, but when she makes other plans, Michael decides it is for the best and leaves her behind. All Michael has to look forward to is a ‘work only’ vacation, that is until Serena Graham knocks on his door.Thanks to the hotel double booking their room, Serena and Michael decide to become roommates for the week. It doesn’t take long for Serena to decide that she would love to spend the week with Michael as more than just roommates. When Serena makes the proposition of ‘partners’ for the week, Michael reluctantly agrees. The last thing he wants is a relationship with anyone that is looking for a commitment. Serena and Michael make the deal to keep emotions out of it and to keep their relationship a business one, to only be together for the week and fulfill every one of their fantasies. Can Michael and Serena indulge in their every fantasy, their every pleasure together and keep it a ‘no emotions’ fling? Or will they find more than just passion in paradise?I was held spellbound and breathless with Jaci Burton’s debut book, PARADISE AWAKENING, book one in the Passion in Paradise Series. Ms. Burton melts your CPU and catches the place on fire with this electrifying tale of self-discovery, desires, explosive passions and love. Michael and Serena are sensational characters who were true to themselves throughout the story. Serena might have went to the resort to be "Sexy Siren Serena", but in actuality, she was being herself and learned to shed her inhibitions. There was a deep emotional edge to this story that showed the power of Ms. Burton’s words and writing ability along with the readers feeling the real and gripping emotions between the characters. PARADISE AWAKENING is a breathtaking read full of passion, charismatic characters, emotionally intense and arousing love scenes. Jaci Burton creates a paradise that burns and sizzles, leaving the reader breathless and begging for more. This may be the first tale from Jaci Burton, but thankfully for readers, it’s not her last. This is an author that we will be hearing a whole lot more of in the future! Reviewed by Tracey West for The Road to Romance

Passion in Paradise 1: Paradise Awakening is a must read!!!

Take one professor of literature at a small college town in Kansas and an author of erotic crime novels, add in a tropical paradise where anything sexual goes and you have Jaci Burton's Passion in Paradise 1. This is one hot book from start to finish. I was immediately swept into this book and the characters. The heroine, Serena was inexperienced but willing to try anything. Whereas the hero, Michael, while professing to want only a no-strings week of sexual adventure, was surprisingly in tune with her every desire. While the sex was intense and got hotter scene by scene, the emotion kept pace with it, alternately running the gamut from humorous to tight throat and teary eyes. Though set in a situation that was anything but normal, I felt that their actions were always consistant and believable...so much so that I wanted to be Serena. In fact, this is coming from a person who had grown tired of books in contemporary settings and was thrilled to read something fresh and new. I could not wait to see what was going to happen next and am anxiously awaiting the second in the series. Please do not hesitate to try this book. I dare you to be able to put this book down and not attempt to consume it in one sitting as I did.
