review 1: I'm not sure why I never wrote about this. I can talk and talk and talk, so I'll keep it short, not just..."A.J. short."Not going to rate it. -Wes and Lana are my fave self-created characters ever. I've always wanted to write about people who are just themselves without really giving a flying fuck who has a problem with it (my characters are always based on real people, so yes, these two are definitely based on real people personality-wise...I'll let you have fun with that one!). Also, I wanted to explore how sexual relationships become more. Just in real life, I know many, many relationships between us twenty-somethings that started as sexual or friends with benefits.-I didn't want to write a traditional romance. I didn't want to pretty it up. I didn't want it angsty. -I ... morespecifically and purposefully kept Lana's POV out of it. Why? This was always meant to be Wes' story, Wes' life getting upended. Lana's POV would've put a level of understanding in the story that I didn't want you to have. -Abel is up next in 2014.
review 2: I wish to thank the author for providing me a copy of her book for an honest review.Surf, sex, drink and sleep. These are the 4 keywords that round out this book. Wes, his brother and his friends surf. Sex, there’s all kinds going on. Drink, so many parties. Sleep, yep, they actually do take the time to nap and get a good night’s sleep. In the midst of all of this is the love story of Wes and Lana. Agreeing on a no strings attached sexual friendship; it was bound to go further.A.J. Sand brings to us the 3rd book in her Documentary series. I have not read the first two and find that there was nothing in this book that had me stumped on who, what or why. This book works very well as a standalone and is quite a welcome relief.I had read the blurb of this book, but it didn’t register on just how much sex would actually be in the book. Well, not the amount but the graphic detail of it. In some ways this book seemed much more in the lines of erotica than New Adult. There is quite a bit of casual sex going on but the relationships do evolve making it seem not so in your face after a bit.The story itself has been done and redone numerous times. Couple hooks up, no strings, keep hooking up and suddenly things change. Jealousy pops up. An ex-boyfriend who is also an archenemy appears. You name it, it probably happened. The saving grace for this book is the details throughout. It was like being blind and having someone telling you what was happening in such a way that you felt like you were right there with all your senses wired. You felt for all the characters and wanted the doomed couple to not only survive but press forward.This book is not for teens. 18+ is a good category due to the sexual situations and use of alcohol in exuberance. I recommend this book to anyone who likes the New Adult category of books mixed with plenty of erotic moments. less
