CT Baty's Island Paradise!
BLURB
Gar Lancaster wasn't depressed, no matter what his sister, Nellie, said. He didn't need a trip to a tropical island to meet some guy for a vacation romance. Sex was easy, he could get that. Love and commitment, those were two other things entirely. But when Mike Peters kissed him on the balcony under a sea of stars with the pounding waves hitting the shore below them, things changed.
Maybe, he didn't need a happily ever after. Maybe happily for right now was okay. Whatever happened, Gar was pretty sure he was in way over his head.
"So, when are you going after him?" Nellie had asked that question for six months.
Now he was on his way back to Dasia Island for a friends wedding. Happily for right now hadn't worked for Gar. He missed Mike and what they had shared on the island. The question was did Mike feel the same way. There was only one way to find out if there was a happily ever after in his future. Face Mike and ask him.

REVIEW
My Rating - 5 Stars!
Island Paradise has everything one could ask for in a vacation romance. CJ Baty has definitely hit all the marks with this one.
When Gar's sister forces him to vacation with her, she suggests he has a fling. Gar isn't one who's looking for a fling though, he's a relationship guy. Then he meets Mike, and finds himself falling for the guy.
The adventures they go on as Mike shows Gar the island are fun, exciting and atmospheric. And the adventures they go on in the bedroom are steamy as well as romantic.
But, Gar is only there for a vacation. He never expected to still be thinking of the guy months later. Luckily he's headed back to the Island for a wedding. Can they reunite?
The story is entertaining, and I enjoyed the premise a lot. It's a short and quick romance for when you are looking for something light.

CJ Baty
C. J. Baty lives in southwest Ohio. Her heart however, lives in the mountains of Tennessee where she hopes to retire some day. The mountains have always provided her with inspiration and a soothing balm to the stresses of everyday life.
The dream of writing her own stories started in high school but was left on the back burner of life until her son introduced her to fan fiction and encouraged her to give it a try. She found that her passion for telling a story was still there and writing them down to share with others was much more thrilling than she had ever expected.
She has a loving and supportive family who doesn't mind fixing their own meals when she is in the middle of a story. And a network of friends, who have encouraged and cheered her on in her quest of being an author.
One thing she has learned from life and she is often heard to say is: "You are never too old to follow your dream!"
