Tropic Heat (Flamingo Island Series) by C.A. King. I love this author so I was excited to read this romance and I was not disappointed. Its the jilted groom left at the altar scenario that I haven’t read because its usually always the bride left at the altar, anyway it was a fun short read and I feel in love with Daniel. After Daniel is left at the altar his best friend Joey talks Daniel into going on his honeymoon especially since the tickets are nonrefundable and taking Joey with him. What Daniel doesn’t expect is to have a one night stand with a woman and catch feelings for her. Sara just wanted to go on a vacation without any strings until she falls into bed with a key person on the case she is working on. And on top of that she really has chemistry with this guy and wouldn’t mind seeing him again. What I thought was a short little novella left me with big feelings. I loved this book! Read it to find out all the juicy things that happen!

Every single book this author writes seems to be pure gold. And I absolutely love, and am amazed by the fact that she can so easily turn her hand to different genres. This book is much more lighthearted and fun than the last ones I read but is just as captivating and entertaining. I really enjoyed the fact that the story focused in a gilted groom rather than a gilted bride. I found myself flying through this book once I started reading because I simply could not put it down. This is a fantastic book by one of my favourite authors.

Well I’ve read this author quite a few times. The books tend to be a hit or miss on my pique of interest levels. Tropic Heat was one of those that piqued my interest so I had to dive in. These books are typically short and quick with quality within the pages. Sometimes I wish the story had a little more and this was also one of those times. I liked it but I wanted more meat for this particular story.
Daniel was jilted and still went on his honeymoon anyway. Well that’s because it was non-refundable. What he wasn’t expecting was the scenario he would be pulled into.
Sara ended up on Flamingo Island for an assignment. An assignment after a night or rolling around in the sheets with a stranger. Ended up hitting closer to home. Daniel ended up being a key in her case but she needed to find out how much.
How much is too much?
How does Daniel feel when he finds out?
All kinds of emotions flow through the reader in a short period of time. One of which is feeling bad Daniel went through all of this.
Are you curious to find out what happens? Well maybe you should take the leap like I did to find out if it’s just enough to satisfy you, or if you want more as I do.

King has done it again; given us a quick, enjoyable read that draws you in and keeps you turning the page. Getting left at the alter on his wedding day wasn’t what Daniel had in mind when he booked a non refundable honeymoon. So when that happens, his best friend convinces him to take the trip anyway. Will he spend his time drowning his sorrows, throwing a pity party, a sting of one night stands, or maybe, just maybe, will he find someone whom Sparks fly with? I recommend picking up a copy to find out.

Tropic Heat
By: C.A. King

This is a fantastic story written by C.A. King. This is a fun novella length book that really hits you in all the feels. This is a great story about a groom and his nonrefundable honeymoon. Oh and his best friend. Daniel and Sara are fantastic main characters and Joey is an amazing best friend who adds to the story. This book has fantastic banter between the characters. And definitely there are sparks flying. I was able to read this book in one sitting but I loved the characters so much I was sad that the book ended. I hope to see more of them in another book soon!

Daniel is left at the altar unexpectedly. His best friend Joey talks him into still going on his honeymoon since it’s a non refundable trip. Although Daniel isn’t too sure about this, he agrees to go. What can go wrong when you’ve already had the worst day of you life?
The author didn’t disappoint with the characters and the location of the different kind of “honeymoon” that Daniel and Joey are on. It’s full of fun, sun, and romance!

This book was really great. I can’t wait to read more. Daniel was left at the alter by a girl he thought he was going to spend the rest of his life with. His best friend talks him into going on his honeymoon anyway and he tags along. While on said honeymoon, he meets Sarah. Sarah is ready for a change. They are both surprised at the sparks that fly. Is this Daniel’s second chance at romance?

This is a quick and easy read that you can get through in one sitting. But, don’t let the number of pages fool you…there is a lot packed in this novella. When Daniel is left at the altar, his best friend, Joey, decides that they are going to make use of the non-refundable honeymoon tickets. What they don’t expect is the shenanigans they will find on their trip. Sara is enjoying her vacation when she comes across Daniel…bu things quickly go sideways between the chemistry between them and her job.

This book had me laughing out loud during some scenes. There is definitely a lot that happens in a short amount of time. I found myself getting through this story very fast and I was immersed into the story. Another good book by this author…looking forward to whatever they write next.

Enjoyable, sweet, fun and romantic read….I always enjoy C.A. King’s books and look forward to always reading more. What do you do when you are left at the alter with no explanation….of course go on the honeymoon that you should have enjoyed with non refundable tickets!!

Daniel is supposed to get married to his love, Claire, but is left at the alter with no word from his fiancee to any reason why. Daniel’s best friend, Joey, has a plan….go on the honeymoon to enjoy and have fun to forget the jilted wedding and have him tag along….

Sara is on her tropical vacation to enjoy her time….ready to take charge. Coming across Daniel, never expecting the sparks to fly and her take charge of what she finally wants. What happens when things fall all over the place with work, sparks and shenanigans?

See what happens next!! Fun read and highly recommended.

This is a fun, quick read to take you away from cold winter days to the warm tropics. Don’t let the novella size fool you though, this story is packed full of twists, turns, and the unexpected! I’m a huge fan of C.A. King and she didn’t disappoint with this read! You could easily binge this in one sitting. Daniel is left at the alter with a pair on non-refundable honeymoon tickets that he doesn’t know what to do with. But his best friend Joey does, they are going to take that vacation and have a good time. However, unexpected things happen and things are discovered. Enjoy!

C.A. King has done it again! Tropic Heat (Flamingo Island Series) is a really fun read by C.A. King that brings all of the feels. To me it gives romcom vibes with all of the funny, sweet, good feels, and is an engaging story about a groom, a nonrefundable honeymoon, his best friend, and so much more. This is a novella-length book that can easily be read from the front cover to the back in one sitting. I thought this was an entertaining story, and even though it is short in pages it delivers the whole picture!
For the longest time I didn’t know if I could ever find an author that was as good as Janet Evanovich, and C.A. King has been that author for me! She doesn’t disappoint with her novels and is constantly bringing us fantastic books! I don’t think that you will be one bit disappointed to pick up a copy of Tropic Heat and find out what happens for yourself! I can’t wait to read more from C.A. King especially what happens with Daniel.

Again another astounding read, the continuation of the YA series about Makayla and her time at theGrave Digger Academy.<br />ANother year another set of changes, with a\ new head teacher, troublesome crones and more students: although not all of them are those we have met in previous years. There are places where people go to go away or be forgotten about and this involves Makayla. <br />The author continues to weave a web around these characters that makes you feel like you are part of the group. The development of these characters is continuous and interesting as they mature and grow. The world building is very involved.<br />A great continuation to series.<br />

Often times with series past 3 books, I often loose interest, that is NOT the case with Grave Digger Academy. C.A.King know what they are doing when writing a series!
Although if you just picked this up without reading the previous 3, you could read it as a standalone, I would suggest you read all 3 previous books in order, you will not be disappointed.
I think the reason I am not getting bored is C.A.King has perfected the art of giving us a taste and filling us, but not over filling us, leaving room for more. I am looking forward to book 5, no desire to take a break from the series!

This is the 4th book in the Grave Digger Academy series. Wow! They just keep getting better! I do recommend you read them in order to fully understand why people react the way they do.

This year at the academy is rough for Makayla. She’s never felt this alone. And you don’t know who you can really trust. She is getting more confident in her abilities. I have loved seeing her growth throughout the series. I absolutely can not wait to get the next book!

This is the fourth installment of the Grave Digger series and while you can read it as a standalone, I’d definitely recommend reading the books in order, as a lot happens that you don’t want to miss out on. C.A. King has written this amazing, enjoyable YA paranormal series that encompasses not only magic, secrets, and dangerous adventures, but fun to get to know somewhat quirky characters.

Can Makayla trust anyone, especially since Grave Digger Academy has a new sheriff in town, aka Headmistress Ulva Everbleed? Getting a new headmistress from whom they expected is not only strange but leads to several mysteries that no one will seem to give Makayla answers for, so it’s up to her to find out what’s going on at the academy. Being stuck at Grave Digger Academy was never where Makayla wanted to be, but over her last several years there she has become excited about the academy and her ragtag group of friends. It isn’t until she gets her letter and returns that she finds some of her friends missing while others ignore her. What’s going on? Why did her friends not get letters back to the academy, and why are there so many more people there than usual? What are the crones letting happen, and why do they seem worried about Makayla?

This is such a fast, fantastic read where we are drawn even more into Makayla’s world! If you like magic, adventure, and mysteries, then you definitely need to check out this series!

This is the fourth book in the Grave Digger Academy Series, and it seems that with each installment, I am pulled in even more! Makayla is back in the Academy for the fourth year, and a whole lot has changed. It’s quite an unpredictable ride as the author threw in twists and turns to keep us on our toes. Makayla doesn’t know who she can trust, and she’s finding that trying to get through on her own may not be enough. Each of these books build off of each other, so I recommend reading the entire series in order to get the full experience (and not be lost!) This author has become one of my favorites, so much so that I am on my way to pick up more of their work now. I can’t wait for the fifth installment to come out!

This is the third book in the Grave Digger Academy Series, and it is definitely my favorite so far! The author has somehow found a way to fit in much detail and action in quite a short read. Typically, if books are shorter, it feels like we’re missing something and that the story could have been fleshed out a little more. While this is a quicker read, the author did a marvelous job ensuring the story is fully complete with no stones left unturned. Makayla is in her third year at the Academy, and it seems to get more interesting each year. Will her brothers keep her safe, or will the danger at school be too great for all of them? I highly recommend reading these books in order as they do build off each other quite a bit. I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for us next!

Another quick and exciting installment in this series. Makayla finds herself thrown back into a world that is becoming stricter each and everyday. She can’t be helped by her helpers, she doesn’t know who she can trust; she must find the path that leads her to the answers. We are introduced to many new characters in this book and the reader quickly learns who can be trusted and who cannot, unfortunately, Makayla is not privy to that information. This is a book you will read in one sitting and find yourself ready for more. My one complaint about all the books in this series is I wish they were longer, although the bonus chapter was a nice touch and helped to tide over until the next installment.

This is the second book in the Grave Digger Academy Series and I loved this one even more than the last! Makayla is now in her second year at the Grave Digger Academy, but somehow the beginning of the school year throws a lot of curveballs at her. With plenty of mischief, friends, drama, and surprises, there’s no way this year will be boring. I flew through this book so quickly because I was not going to be interrupted! There is definitely something weird about the school this year, but will they be able to figure it out and stay safe? I highly recommend this series, but I would start with book one so that you can get the full backstory!

I have read other books by this author before, so I knew I was going to enjoy this one. I didn’t have any idea how much I would love it though! I really enjoy the supernatural fantasy genre, so this was right up my alley. Makayla ends up at Grave Digger Academy after being denied at all of the other schools she applied to. The curriculum they learn at Grave Digger Academy is quite interesting and not the same as the definition of gravedigger we know. The flow of the story was great, as were the characters. I had a difficult time putting this one down because I loved getting lost in their world. I highly recommend if you love the supernatural!

C. A. King delivers a great, quick read in Grave Digger Academy IV. Makayla returns to an even more changed Academy than before; one run by someone other than Mary Meet. There are lots of new faces as well as old ones, but none Makayla can truly trust. Yet, she pushes on to find answers. Information comes to light about Makayla’s family as well as the history behind the banishing of necromancy. This information links well with information from previous books and it is fascinating to see how those connections tie everything together. The detail in this book is amazing, even with being such a fast read. I felt like I was right there with Makayla on her journey. I feel like I’ve become connected to the characters in this series, especially Makayla, and I’m anxiously awaiting the continuation of this story in the next book!

Just like all the previous books in the series, this book picks up right after the previous. This is not to be read as a stand alone. The whole series is amazing so far though so read them all!

Makayla is running out of people to trust. Some of her friends are missing and the ones who are around seem to hate her. She has been told multiple times to watch who she trusts so she decided to trust no one. It’s easier this way. The crones are trying their hardest to control Makayla. Everything she worked hard at last year is banned, from a long list of library books to even helpers. Even new professors and a head mistress. Makayla wants answers and she will stop at nothing to finally get them. It seems every time she thinks she’s taking a step towards her goal, more questions are formed than answers.

This book was a lot more fast paced than the previous books and had an unexpected twist of who Makayla could and could not trust. This book seemed to be building up to something big for the next installment of the series and I cannot wait to see where Makayla goes next. I honestly love this author, their writing is unique and keeps you hooked from the start to finish with anything I have read from them. I highly recommend this author to anyone who likes to read things that are outside the box.

A new year begins with Helpers banned from campus and a whole new look to Grave Digger Academy. A new headmistress, new curriculum and a whole lot of new staff and students means you can’t trust anyone…

Makayla now has only herself to fully rely on for any answers about what’s happening in the magical world and trying to find help is proving to be hard. Can she survive year 4 without too much trouble?

This book starts out a little before term starts with a lot of rules that Makayla is having a bit of trouble following, but that’s nothing compared to what’s waiting for her when she makes it back to the academy…

This one, like the previous three just loves so fast! I want to keep going and then suddenly I’m at the end. It’s both refreshing to be pulled in so much that quickly and sad because I keep running out of pages!

It feels like I keep getting more questions to ask and far from enough answers. How will book 5 be enough to give me an ending?! Happy reading!

This is the fourth book in the Grave Digger Academy series. I highly recommend reading the series in order before starting this one, for backgrounds on the characters past events and the world. Another short read, but this doesn’t stop it being and engaging and enjoyable read.
Things just seem to keep getting worse for Makayla, loneliness sinks in again and my heart breaks for her, as surely, it’s worse than being alone when you’re surrounded by people who clearly don’t want anything to do with you. Things are put in place to work against her and yet she continues to work towards finding her truth.
I really enjoy Makayla and the strength she displays in the difficult positions she is put in. She continues to develop, which I love, and persevere despite all the obstacles in her way. I admire her.
This was another well-written instalment, and I can wait for the next book release to continue joining Makayla on the next leg of her adventure.

This is the third book in the Grave Digger Academy series. I would recommend reading the first two books prior to starting this one as the books follow on from each other and will give you a better understanding o the world and characters.
Makayla is thrown back into a form of isolation and seeking answers on her return to school once again. I felt for her as things were clearly different than they used to be, something was wrong and she was unable to get the help she previously had. It isn’t easy being put in that situation and so I admired Makayla for this as she works to figure out what’s going on.
While I wish the book was longer, the author did a good job of including character development which I love in books. I do wish the book had been longer and we could see more, it works at the length it is. It’s an easy read and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

This is the second book in the Grave Digger Academy series. I would recommend reading the first before starting this one. Following on from the previous book, Makayla returns to school to news of the inter-academy competition bringing with is more problems for Makayla and her friends.
This is a short but fun read nonetheless. I enjoyed finding out more about the way the academies run e.g., funding, as this added a little extra to the story and made for an interesting storyline. I was happy to reconnect with old characters and find out more about them as they develop throughout the competition.
As with the first book, I only wish it had been longer. But the author has done a good job and I am sure I will enjoy the next book in the series.
