Review: Last Resort – Kate Roth

Danielle Ward hasn’t had sex in six years. Sure, she’s been on dates. She even has a boyfriend, but it seems something is always getting in the way when it comes to doing the deed.

After her boyfriend finally loses his patience and leaves her to drown her sorrows, her best friend Georgia comes up with a plan that becomes more and more brilliant with each shot of tequila.

Book a non-refundable solo trip to an adults-only resort with the intention of getting laid.

The beach is picturesque, her room is luxurious, the alcohol is included … and Danielle can’t wait to get the hell out of there the second she checks in. That is, until an uninvited kiss from drunken hotel guest and Hollywood hottie Evan Weston. Once Evan discovers the reason for Danielle’s vacation, he won’t let up in his pursuit to be the one to solve her problem.

Caught between her desire for a fresh start and the preposterous idea of having a fling with her celebrity crush, Danielle decides it’s time to throw caution to the wind and her panties to the floor.

But it’s never just sex, is it? And Evan Weston isn’t just any man. He isn’t just a movie star.

Evan Weston is Danielle’s last resort.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

LAST RESORT was one of those books where the story pulled me in, unexpectedly, and had me loving the characters.  Danielle and Evan may have had similar goals about why they were at the Mexican couples only resort, but the reasons that drove them there were very different.  Danielle hadn’t had sex in six years and her boyfriend had just broken up with her because she couldn’t go all the way.  Evan used sex as a way to run for a past that seemed to haunt him.  But when they run into each other at the resort, the sparks fly and neither of them can ignore what’s happening between them.

The storyline might be predictable, especially with the expiration date set on Dani and Evan’s fling, but the author does a fantastic job of keeping it fresh and readers engaged.   Danielle’s sexual awakening at the hands of the very capable Evan is very hot and had me eagerly turning pages to find out what was going to happen next.  Although this story continues on in BEST LAID PLANS (coming soon), this novella is definitely one to pick up if you want a quick weekend read or something to keep things hot while sitting pool side.
