Aloha Lila || Milo Manheim by PurpleKorea134

While in Hawaii on vacation after graduating college, Lila Howard discovers that a show is being filmed on the island her family is vacationing on. Exciting, right? Well, what's more exciting is that Lila literally runs into one of the people playing in the show, the young actor Milo Manheim. And he's staying in the same hotel she is! "Aloha, Lila" is one of the first things he says to her, and it's on from there. She didn't really want a romance in Hawaii, just a chill break from life, healing from a bad breakup and maybe prepping for more college. Well, fate had other plans. She never fathomed that she could befriend and possibly have a Hawaiian romance with a tall, hot Disney heartthrob with big beautiful brown eyes, a killer smile, and a heart as big as he is. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FYI: There will be spoilers for the show Doogie Kamealoha, so I recommend watching it (on Disney +, two seasons) before reading. Of course, you don't have to, and this will just be a cute love story in Hawaii between a girl and goodhearted star. Also, I own no pictures used in the story. They're all from Google Images, YouTube and Google Maps.

Unexpected Love by Curiouswords27

Have you ever experienced the love that strikes at the most unexpected place, like the arrow of cupid went haywire, or like the love potion you made for someone landed in someone else's hand. How Columbus must have felt when he started in search of a sea route to the East Indies, but ended up discovering America? I mean, it was even better, isn't it? That's what going to happen to our Jia Davis, a 23 year old 'full of life' girl. Her life revolves around her friends and her adventures. Her friends love her with their life. So is she ready to face the world of love after her first unfortunate experience, or she will do what she is been doing, that is 'staying away from the mess' and as she always says 'love is waste of time'. But that doesn't stop her from crushing on the most handsome man she had met. Is he the one who will make her believe in love, or maybe someone... #1 - corporate - 08/02/2022 #1 - distraught - 24/04/2022

Dragonflies by ShimnaEM

There are times in our lives that we look for something deliberately and grow tired of the search when it isn't found. Later, we might decide that it doesn't exist or that it is lost beyond the pursuit. But then, one fine day it falls right in to your lap without even calling out for it. And when you have it right there with you, you don't know what exactly you should do with it. That is what happens with love most of the times. It gets found at the most unlikely times in the most unexpected ways. Leaving you confused about how to deal with it. And by the time you figure it out, it might have vanished. The two persons I fell in love with; One, who promised me a forever and gave up on me the half way. The other, who gave me everything except the promise of a forever. I don't know whom I love the most. When loving one of them had become a habit from the past and letting go was so hard, the other gave me reasons to love him more day by day making it impossible to resist the urge to make him stay. ............ ps: The book cover is hand painted by me

Out of my Control by LexiRein

Book 7 in the It just Happened Series. (Can be a stand alone but to better understand it read Never Say Never.) Love is supposed to be great and for awhile it was, until it wasn't. I had it all! The perfect husband, well for the most part. Everyone has their flaws but Johnny he was the best. Then I lost him and my world fell apart. How can you move on from your other half? Then there is River Fox the one person who will just not leave. Just because he made a promise to my husband doesn't mean he owes me anything. He infuriates me to no end! I just can't get him out of my mind, and it kills me! "Katrina." He never calls me by my name. It's always princess, stubborn, a pain in his ass. "Look at me." I can't because when you call my name it does things to me, I know it shouldn't! "Please, just stop!" Do. Not. Cry! I can't take the guilt anymore. "Just go. Please!" The first tears fall as the door slams shut. I'm betraying him by wanting his close friend. Even though I try to fight, I can't resist him. I hate it! I hate him, but mostly hate myself for the desire I have for the one man I shouldn't. How did everything get so out of my control?

A Summer Affair (SAMPLE! NOW PUBLISHED ON AMAZON) by JeniRaeD

The best decision I ever made was when I moved to paradise nine years ago. I've met and entertained many beautiful women while living here in Hawaii, with those women changing what I first thought would be paradise and making it to be more of an erotic heaven. I love women, and I love satisfying them. But the only way they make it to my bed is if they're tourists. Why? Because there are no ties, no feelings hurt, no strings attached, and I'll never see them again-just pure innocent sex satisfying both our needs. Now I'm on an airplane, going back to the one place I always said I would never step foot in ever again. Las Vegas. All because Vegas is where my best friend wants to have his bachelor party. Just because I'm not happy to be back in my hometown doesn't mean I can't have fun, right? After all, I can still do what I've been doing in Hawaii here in Vegas as there are always tourists roaming the casinos. Before my friends and I hit the casino, I made a thousand-dollar bet with my best friend that I couldn't land a woman in my bed before we returned to Hawaii-a bet I want no part of after meeting who I did. That bet will come to haunt me after we get back home, especially when we cross paths at my best friend's wedding. I was happy to see her, but she wasn't too pleased to see me, and let's just say somewhere I screwed up because my face not only saw her fist once, but it saw it twice. She just lit the fire in me, and I never thought I'd say this, but I guess my entertaining women days are over because right now, there's only one woman who I want to chase, and that's Leilani.
