The magic of Bandicoot Cove has one more story to tell and it's one that made me smile with its sincerity, sweetness and unique storyline.McKenzie Wood is ready for a serious career in journalism and has just spotted her golden goose in the form of elusive rock star, Nick Blackthorne. If Mac hadn't been so star-struck and determined, she might have noticed that her best friend, Aiden, only agrees to help because, to him, making Mac happy is worth more than gold.Aiden is such a sweetheart! He was so easy to fall in love with and I think I would have been furious at McKenzie if she had not been immediately receptive of his attention. Considering how long they've been best friends and the fact that everyone around them had already figured out how perfect they were for each other, I had to wonder if anything but the most direct approach would work with McKenzie.Nick Blackthorne has lived the rock star life for many years and while it may seem that his life is everything he could possibly want it to be, it's not. When he finally gives Mac the story she thought she wanted it's not even remotely close to what she had heard or imagined.Similar to Island Idyll, book 3 in the series, Tropical Sin has a ménage element but does not end with all three parties walking away together. While I'm not a big fan of a ménage that isn't committed, this story is about more than why these three should or shouldn't be together as a triad. These are three people who are at a point in their lives where it's time to either make some changes or stay stuck in a rut. How they go from standing still to moving forward with their lives is a fun, steamy and touching story.If this is your first trip to Bandicoot Cove, you're in for a treat. You won't have to have read the other books in the series to enjoy this novella. All of the books in the series are short reads so if you find yourself wanting to learn more about the other friends you'll run into on the island don't hesitate to pick up those books as well. This was a clever writing project by three talented writers and well worth the read!Originally posted at Whipped Cream Reviews
