ABOUT THE BOOK
What happens in paradise… stays in paradise!
Hotel guest relations manager Jasmine, also known as a Love Alchemist, adores her job at the exclusive Spanish Love Hotel. She prides herself on helping guests meet their perfect match. But matchmaking is absolutely forbidden between staff. And so Jasmine must resist the attraction she feels every time she’s around delectable sous-chef, Alejandro. The problem is, she knows the feeling is mutual. But she cannot jeopardise her job or break the rules.
Because all her hard work is about to be recognized when she’s asked to set up the new branch of the hotel in Jamaica. With an ocean between her and temptation, Jasmine is ecstatic. This is just the distance she needs to keep her feelings under control. But there is one kink in her plan… Alejandro has been asked to join her. For two whole weeks!
Under the sultry Jamaican sun, keeping it strictly professional becomes impossible when romance is literally all around them! So they agree a (secret) holiday fling may help satisfy their desires and then they can move on. After all, what happens in paradise stays in paradise… right?
MY REVIEW
If you’re looking for a beach read to get you in the mood for sun, sand, and sizzling romance, I’ve got just the thing for you. Jasmine and Alejandro enjoy beautiful Jamaican cuisine and scenery while exploring their forbidden attraction to each other.
The chemistry between the two protagonists is strong. It is refreshing to see how they discovered they had so much in common, even with their reverse age gap and ethnic differences. That said, I missed out on that delicious tension we all love because they were all nervous about the big boss finding out.
I think I would have enjoyed seeing the characters develop that admiration and attraction gradually in the workplace. It would’ve added so much depth to their romance! Instead, we kind of just jumped straight into the feels.
What really took the cake (or should I say the jerk chicken?) were the mouthwatering descriptions of food throughout the story. Seriously, I could almost smell the spices wafting off the pages! It was like a mini vacation to Jamaica with every bite they described.
Overall, I enjoyed What Happens in Paradise for its cuteness and picturesque settings but couldn’t help but wish for a little more substance. If you’re into sweet stories that make you smile, this one is right up your alley.
Thank you to Ms. Spring for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
