3.0 out of 5 stars one plus one January 4, 2013

This is a spicy quick read for anyone that is looking for a fun escape. I read this book really quickly and all in one shot. It was more like a novella to me. I approach novellas and novels differently. When I am reading a shorter story, I am looking more for instant gratification and plot/action, and less on character development and nuances. This book delivers on that completely!

Lacinda wins a trip on a singles cruise. I really liked Lacinda and I felt like I understood her more than I expected to. Kay Dee Royal does a good job of explaining the characters motivations and emotions. I liked how she was a little slow to open up, but then once she did, she gave herself over completely.

As for secondary characters, I really liked Blade but his friend, that helped him plan everything, really got on my nerves. She just seemed to think that people were puppets. But that was really my only drawback with One Plus One. Other than her, I really enjoyed this book.

One Plus One is like taking a vacation. It is a fantastical escape. it is not deep or extremely detailed, but it was a lot of fun and a good read.

EEK! HOT is one word that describes this short story.
I wish it was longer so that we got to see more of what happens (on the island). I normally don't read short stories because I could never connect with the characters but this one was NOT like that. It gave you enough background to connect with and like the characters.
I think that my favorite character was Mazie, she was just so bold and out there that you couldn't not like her.
The story also had enough depth to it that it kept you interested (well there were other things to kept the reader interested too ;) hehe).

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Hot! January 27, 2013

This story was definitely hot. In fact, I might be on the phone this very minute trying to find this cruiseline so I can book my own One Plus One cruise! Don't bother to tell me its fictional, it must be a reality somewhere, right?

Kay Dee Royal is a new to me author, but I think I am definitely going to add her to my list of authors I want to read more from. For under sixty pages, this short story really packed a punch. We have Lacinda, who has been tricked into a cruise - a sex cruise! And for some reason, her limo driver is the same as the steward who helps her onto the ship. And it doesn't end there.

I really enjoyed this. It was a great surprise! There were a few sex scenes ranging from dirty-hot to sensual to romantic, and I enjoyed every one of them. The characters were all very likeable, although I would have loved to know them more in depth. Of course, the main characters, Blade and Lacinda were my favorite. But Travis and Mazie were full of surprises with every page turn. I'd be really interested to read their story, actually.

Overall, if you are looking for a quick read I recommend this. The scenery was beautiful with an island and a cruise ship. The sex was boiling hot. The bit of emotion we get to see was just the tip of the iceburg of what's to come for this lucky couple.
