I am a fairly new reader to Heidi McLaughlin and I have to say I have become a big fan. The excitement I felt when this landed on my kindle was instant, I couldn’t wait to dive straight in. Sexcation is exactly what the doctor ordered. Set on the beautiful island of Bermuda, white sandy beaches and crystal clear water, everything a holiday should be.

This romantic love story revolves around two main characters. Jade and Jackson. Jade. Beautiful and alone. Her best friend sent her on this trip to spend some quality me time after the breakup of her relationship. Alone was just how she liked it until she clapped her eyes on a gorgeous guy staying at the same hotel. Jade wasn’t alone, three bikini clad women had also seen Jackson and were on a mission to capture his attention.

Jackson. Suave and handsome with bulging arms, tattoos and a cute British accent to boot. Had travelled to Bermuda before making a move across the pond to settle in New York City. As soon as he saw jade, she stirred his interest. He came up with the perfect solution that made him extremely happy. Spending time with the beautiful Jade and in the process, giving the three ladies the impression that he was taken.

Jade and Jackson struck a bargain. They would pretend to be husband and wife throughout the duration of their holiday to deter the three women going after Jackson. And as luck would have it, he was in the adjoining room to hers. At this point I have to tell you that part of the bargain was that neither one would tell each other anything personal, and that Jade and Jackson was not their real names. You just knew that this was going to come back and bite them on the bum (as we British like to say). It was a forgone conclusion. 

Let the fun times begin. The chemistry between them was so strong you knew that their pretending was going to go a lot further. A glorious week of good weather, good food, good company and plenty of sex was what followed. Did I say SEX. The sex between these two was downright hot and the author conveyed this within the book which made the pages sizzle in some parts. 

The week ends and they go their separate ways, but both are left feeling totally devastated. Their feelings are reciprocated, but both were frightened of rejection. I just wanted to bang their heads together. This is where the story gets really interesting. Are they destined to ever meet again? Or is one week all they were meant to have. I’m not going to give too much away and only say, read the book if you want to know what happens between these two. Their journey isn’t as straightforward as you would think. There are battles to overcome and issues that need to be resolved. 

I couldn’t put this book down. I personally felt like I had been swept away to Bermuda for the week just to watch these two characters come together. The story was well written and flowed throughout the book. It was a pure romantic love story with a bit of naughty thrown in.  Just how I like it ! Jackson was British and from my neck of the woods which made me love him just that tiny bit more.

I look forward to reading more of Heidi’s work. Thank you for a most enjoyable read. I’m off now to try and book a sexcation. Wish me luck ! Ha ha ha.
