Professional Reviews

4 STARS: "GETTING LEI'D is a hot quickie that is set in the tropical locale of the Hawaiian islands; but it's what happens between the main characters that really turns up the heat! Maribelle escapes to Hawaii after she catches her husband-to-be having sex with her cousin in the church right before the wedding. She decides she's done with love for a while, but two men have something to say about that. Damon and Alex are roommates who happen to share women, but they haven't been satisfied because the woman they truly wanted was supposed to marry someone else. With Mari's wedding off, the men decide that they now have their chance, and they are willing to go to Hawaii to take that chance. Now all they have to do is convince Mari that they want her for keeps. GETTING LEI'D was short, sweet, and very very hot. I loved the interaction between Mari, Damon, and Alex. I personally can't think of a better way to get over a disastrous wedding than getting under two yummy men. I really felt for Mari. She was dealt a pretty rough hand and she tried to get out of it with as much of her dignity intact, but she didn't have a lot of confidence in herself. I liked that Alex and Damon went out of their way to help her get that confidence back. There wasn't too much more to the plot than what I've outlined here but there was a whole lotta lovin' in there as well. This book was very erotic and we got treated to very steamy love scenes. But I loved that there was an HEA for the entire trio and not just two out of the three. GETTING LEI'D is book three in the Hawaiian Holidays series, but it can be read as a standalone. I thought it was the perfect way to heat up my winter!" -- Rho, The Romance Reviews

Getting Lei’d is a fun, flirty, enjoyable read that will have everyone wishing they were in Hawaii with two men devoted to them!" -- Slick, Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews

Excerpt

STORY EXCERPT 

Two-timing, cheating, no-good bastard.

Maribelle Sawyer looked up at her groom. Aaron smiled down at her, that trademark smile of his, the one that had never failed to make her whole body light up like the National Mall on the Fourth of July. 

He turned back to the minister, and she continued to study him. He was gorgeous. Not just plain old good-looking-guy gorgeous but movie-star gorgeous. The type of man Brad Pitt would be jealous of. And she had been lucky enough to be picked by him to marry. She had always thought herself fortunate, until she found him screwing her skanky cousin Denise. In the church they were to be married in.

The minister kept droning on about love and commitment, and Maribelle’s head pounded. What the hell was she doing there? Why was she standing next to the bastard as if she wanted to marry him? She didn’t. Not now.

Maribelle glanced at her two friends, Eddie and Sophia. They looked fabulous, both in deep, dark-purple dresses, their perfect bodies showed off to the best advantage. Maribelle had always been jealous of the fact that both of them could eat anything and it didn’t mar their figures. They were watching her with concern, as if they knew something was wrong. No one else detected it. Not her mother or father. Not even her dumbass groom.

She peeked up at him again. He was watching the minister as if he really cared about the vows, about the whole ceremony. It was as if he hadn’t been getting it on with her cousin in the supply closet just thirty minutes ago.

She went to look back at the minister, but Damon caught her eye. He might be Aaron’s brother and best man, but he had always been one of her best friends growing up. They were the same age, with just six months separating them. He had been her confidant when she had been teased at school. He’d stood up to her skanky cousin Denise whenever she had been mean to her. He was watching her with a solemn expression in his eyes.

She turned back to the minister. Why was she doing this? Why did she feel the need to marry a man who couldn’t even be faithful the day of the wedding? How pathetic. She was willing to marry a man who didn’t love her enough to keep his dick in his pants in the church. Why? Lord only knew. But when her father had shown up to walk her down the aisle, she’d still been in some sort of shock.

It was starting to wear off.

“If anyone has a reason these two people should not marry, speak now or forever hold your peace.”

She glanced up at the groom, his stupid smiling face, and her blood started to heat. How dare he stand there and pretend he hadn’t been fucking someone else, as if it was no big deal? As if he had the right to get his rocks off.

The minister started to say something, but before Maribelle could stop herself, she raised her hand.

The minister looked confused, his gaze looking between her and Aaron.

“Maribelle, is there something wrong?”

The entire congregation was looking at her. She could feel their gazes burning in her back.

“I object.”

“Maribelle?” Aaron’s concerned voice filtered through the air.

She thought she heard someone laugh, and she would bet money on Eddie. She had never liked Aaron.

“I object to this marriage.”

Aaron tugged on her hand until she looked at him. There was a flash of anger in the depth of his blue gaze, and she took a step back. His fingers bit into her wrist.

Apparently realizing she was backing away from him, he schooled his features and smiled at her. Leaning down he asked, “What’s the matter, sweet?”

She twisted her arm until he released her wrist. “I’m not marrying you.”

“Oh, God.”

That was her mother. She had always been worried that Maribelle would mess something up, especially this wedding. It was being touted as one of the weddings of the DC wedding season. And she was messing it up. But she refused to feel guilty about it. Well, she did a little, but she would deal with that later.

“What do you mean you aren’t marrying me?”

“I mean, I refuse to marry you.”

Another flash of anger moved over his face, and this time he didn’t even try to hide it.

“What the hell are you talking about?”

“I won’t marry you. Don’t want to. Refuse to.” Her voice rose with each statement.

The irritation on his face dissolved into a look of concern. “I think your nerves might be overset.”

“You’re right, they are.”

He smiled, and she wanted to punch him. In fact, she curled her fingers into her palm, making a fist.

“See, so we can resume—”

“I don’t think so.” 

ADULT EXCERPT 

Alex leaned in, his mouth skimming over her jaw then moving to her mouth. Without preamble, he plunged his tongue into her mouth. The taste of him was exotic and thrilling. In a way like Damon but in another way not like him.

As Alex tortured her mouth, Damon slipped the fabric aside and pressed his mouth against her pussy. She shivered, moving her hands up to Alex’s shoulders. The dual assault had her senses reeling, her body shivering with anticipation. Nothing in her life had thrilled and frightened her this much.

Damon’s tongue darted into her slit, and she moaned against Alex’s mouth. He pulled away and smiled down at her then looked down to Damon.

Alex settled beside her, his hand slipping up and over her breast. “Does that feel good, baby?”

She nodded, unable to voice her opinion out loud. Damon had added a finger as his tongue teased her clit. Heat and tension gathered in her tummy, her body surging toward her release, when Damon moved away. She moaned in aggravation, but he ignored her as he moved away, and Alex replaced him.

Alex pulled her panties away and then settled between her legs. “Damn, baby, you’re wet.”

She wanted to be embarrassed, knew that she should be, but she couldn’t seem to care. All that mattered was gaining her release. He slipped his tongue into her sex as Damon started to undress.

He watched the scene as he drew off his clothes, his gaze watching Alex’s head between her legs. The idea that he was watching her, the little bit of exhibitionism, sent another wave of heated lust spiraling through her body.

Damon tossed his shirt behind him, toed off his shoes, and then his gaze zeroed in on her face. He watched her as he unbuttoned then unzipped his pants. The intensity of his stare, the way he was watching her, she knew that he was getting off on it. But soon she had to look and watched as his hands shoved his pants down, revealing his hardened cock. Well, she should have known Damon wouldn’t wear any underwear. His cock jutted out from the nest of dark brown curls and bobbed against his belly. He shoved his pants aside then wrapped his hand around his impressive length.

She watched as he stroked himself. She couldn’t help but lick her bottom lip as she watched a small pearl of semen wet the head of his penis. He chuckled as he moved closer.

“Don’t worry. I’ll let you have a taste.”

He joined her on the bed as she felt Alex move away. Maribelle cut a quick glance in his direction then lingered when he started to undress. He didn’t take the time that Damon did. His clothes were on the floor behind him in a flash. Damon handed him a condom package. She had seen both of them shirtless before, but she was struck almost dumb seeing them nude. Alex was all brawn and muscle with dark, olive skin. His strong jaw, slightly crooked nose, along with his golden-brown eyes, had always drawn her. He was such a sharp contrast to Damon. But then, maybe that is what attracted her to them both. Where she felt safe with Damon, Alex left her a little uncomfortable.

He moved between her legs and pulled up her hips. He thrust into her to the hilt. Before she could adjust, Damon’s fingers were skimming over her jaw, urging her face toward his cock. She willingly opened her mouth, enjoying the first salty-sweet taste of the pre-cum as he slowly worked his way in. As he began to move in and out of her mouth, Alex joined him. Heat filled her as she opened her mouth wider, trying to take all of Damon into her mouth. Alex’s fingers dug into her flesh as he began to move faster, his thrusts no longer in the same measured rhythm. She slipped her hand down to Damon’s sac, caressing him. She felt Alex’s fingers slip over her then press against her clit.
