Book Reviews: Spring Break Romance Reads

Spring break is a time-honored tradition of temporarily escaping hard work and dull routines, but it's not just for students. Contemporary romance fiction offers many stories about older women who find love and excitement during this vacation. Here are two romance novels currently available in stories and online that celebrate the spring fling:

In Second Time Lucky by Debbi Rawlins, Mia has quit her prestigious job as a lawyer to start a business with friends. Before she jumps into being an entrepreneur, she decides to take a trip to Hawaii for a spring break reunion. David, her former boss, follows her to Hawaii so he can convince her to come back to work. But how can all-work-and-no-play David woo Mia while staying in paradise?

Second Time Lucky is a sexy, breezy romance that will make you feel like you're on spring break without the inconvenience of leaving home. It's also the first book of a miniseries by Debbi Rawlins about three women who take a "second spring break."

The Guy Next Door is a contemporary romance anthology by Lori Foster, Susan Donovan, and Victoria Dahl. In Foster's story, "Ready, Set, Jett," Natalie is already enjoying a no-strings attached affair with her neighbor Jett. However, he wants more and will push her boundaries in and out of bed to get it. "Gail's Gone Wild" is Donovan's contribution and it's about an overworked single mother chaperoning two teenagers in Key West. She was hoping to find some rest and relaxation but instead finds love and excitement with her disreputable neighbor. And in "Just One Taste" by Victoria Dahl, erotic boutique manager Beth has a dirty, little secret: she is in lust with the preppy guy in the next booth at the convention center. Dare she indulge in a one-night stand?

If you are looking for a hot and fun read on your spring break, you can't go wrong with either of these books.
