Title: Sexcation
Author: Heidi McLaughlin
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 24, 2017
She’s American.
They meet on vacation.
And agree to fake name each other.
One is lying about everything.
The other is telling the truth.
They’re about to embark on a sexcation.
But what happens when it’s over?
I was so glad that Jackson isn't the typical manwhore that seems to be in a lot of the romance stories these days, he's all about being with Jade, even if their relationship has an expiration date. He might look like the bad boy, but he's got a big....heart. That's pretty evident when he answers Jade's question about what career would he choose if he wasn't doing his current job, and the reason for one of his tattoos is heartbreaking.
So if their relationship had an expiration date and they didn't give any personal information, how the heck did they reconnect after the trip? In a most unusual set of circumstances. Now, I loved this book, right up until chapters 21-26. I was so damn frustrated with Jade that I hoped Jackson would have kicked her to the curb. That chick had my blood pressure rising (although it could have been that extra slice of bacon I had at breakfast). I understand her hesitancy to be with Jackson once she discovers what he does for a living, but damn girl, get some therapy if your past affected you that much. Thank goodness her BFF Jackie talked some damn sense into her. One thing that left me a bit confused is why Jade was so adamant about not signing the contract? If she let her parents' business affect her that much, why be so against the change of direction her parents were about to embark on?
Overall though, I really enjoyed this book and I'm hoping we'll get books for Jackson's two close friends Tommy and Maxwell, and maybe Jade's friends Foster and Jackie.

I laugh and find myself tempted by her hand, which sits on the metal table. After our impromptu snogging session, Jade put on a nice little sundress which has my imagination running wild and some strappy sandals. Her toes are painted a turquoise blue. I found it a little weird at first; normally I see reds or pinks on toes, but rarely a blue colour. I quite like it. I like it a lot. In fact, I’ve yet to find something about this woman I don’t like.
“And yet, you didn’t. I came over and kissed you. You could’ve punched me, kicked me in the nuts, or groped me. I’m grateful you let me kiss you the way I did.”
She blushes again. “Why did you? I’m sure there are other, more beautiful women at the resort that would’ve been happy to oblige you.”
“But then I wouldn’t be here with my pretend wife, trying to get to know more about her.”
Her eyes don’t waver from mine as she takes a sip of her cocktail. “Do you really want to get to know me?”
“The fake you, yes. I don’t want to get cornered by one of the triplets and not know my facts.”
“Are they in fact, triplets?”
I shake my head. “I haven’t got a bloody clue, to be honest with you. Fake tits all look the same at the end of the day.”
Her mouth falls open into a sexy little O and images of other ways I can make that happen pop straight into mind. “I named them Muffy, Tuffy, and Buffy. The names seemed fitting,” she says with a shrug.
I crack the fuck up. “Then that is what we’ll call them until they leave.”
“Do you know when that is? Or what room they’re in?”
I lean over the table and pick her hand up. “They leave after us, and no, I don’t, thank goodness. I don’t care either. I made you a promise and I always keep my promises.” I bring her hand to my lips and let them linger against her skin until a passer-by makes a comment about us being in love.
Not love, lust though, and I couldn’t be happier that I chose her to be my distraction this week. When I finally let go of her hand, she picks up her drink and finishes it.
“Want another one?” I ask, already standing by the time she nods. I lean down and kiss the top of her head, inhaling the scent of her shampoo. The smell of grapefruit assaults my senses, making my heart race. I groan as I walk into the restaurant. I could’ve easily waited for the waitress to come back to us, but I needed to step away from Jade for a minute. She’s fucking deadly with her innocent façade and I have a strong reason to believe I’m going to fall victim to her and love every minute of it.
When I walk out, there’s a bloke talking to her as if it’s an everyday occurrence. I have never been jealous of any man until now. The pure rage I feel, watching him talk to my pretend wife almost takes over my body, yet I find the will to let it go. Who am I to stand in the way of her potential hook-ups?
