Sienna James has come to Bandicoot Cove to mourn the end of her eight-year relationship with Ben Cowley. The last person she expects to meet is the star of every one of her high school fantasies.
Joshua Lye is not only as appealing as he was in high school, he reveals she was the main feature in his adolescent wet dreams. As kids they never got it together. But they’re adults now, and there’s nothing keeping them apart.
When Ben arrives at the resort determined to win Sienna back, finding another man in her bed kind of throws a spanner in the works. But he isn’t deterred. Rather than admit defeat, he comes up with an alternative plan: Let Sienna sleep with both men—at the same time. Then she can make an informed decision as to which man she wants.
Sienna shouldn’t want to go through with this shockingly sexy plan, but she does. Desperately. Except after the sexual storm passes, she could have it all…or be left holding an empty heart.

ISLAND IDYLL, book 4 of the Bandicoot Cove series, really surprised me. While I have enjoyed every book I’ve read by Jess Dee, I wasn’t looking forward to this one. I’m not a fan of love triangles, especially when the competition moves to the bedroom. While it may be hot, I usually end up feeling like the sex was more about one guy showing the other that he is better than about the pleasure and happiness of the heroine. As a result, I have a hard time believing the HEA. That wasn’t the case here.
Sienna’s confusion and turmoil were real. The consequences and emotions caused by the men’s competition were addressed and not just brushed over. I was very impressed with how the author handled a plot that doesn’t normally work for me. Moments in ISLAND IDYLL were bittersweet but I was left with a HEA for Sienna I can believe in.
Great review, now I really want to start reading this series!
