was SO good! Steamy and such a page turner! I loved seeing Sara grow more confident in herself and with people, especially after Trent breaks her heart and she goes where her friends went and found their HEA, the Jilted Brides Honeymoon Club. Getting Logan in this story made me SO happy I loved that he got his HEA, it was much needed, and when Sara Logan AND Trent come together and Trent realizes he was wrong about what Sara likes and would want?! There was so much that Sara and Trent need to overcome to be together and be happy especially when Logan becomes as important to them as each other but the journey is amazing and so important!
But don’t let this fool you, it is a STEAMY read! And I was beyond lucky to be able to ARC this!
sure this is a book about jilted brides going to a sex resort where anything is on the menu, but it is also about the women finding themselves, discovering what they want out of life, and realizing the visions they previously had for their future were not what they needed. I am sad this series came to an end.
#MMF #Virgin #WhyChoose #ARC I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving an advance reader copy of the book. It is written in first person from alternating multiple POV. It can be read as a standalone and ends with a HEA. Readers may find the most enjoyment from reading the series in order as they will get to know the club, meet Sara’s friends, Eve & Camille, and meet Logan in previous books. Sara and Trent were raised in a strict religious, Purity culture. It has influenced how they view sex, marriage, and family. Sara has learned from her friends that there are other views about all of these things. When Trent breaks their engagement and her heart, she is ready to explore options other than the future she originally envisioned. Throughout the book, she reclaims her sexuality as her own, coming into a new realization of love and what future she really wants to have. Trent has secrets. He loves Sara, but he realizes that he wants a future different from the one they had always planned. He and Sara each have their own journey in this story as they overcome the strict way they were raised and find happiness. Logan is a character I fell in love with in the first 2 books. I am thrilled that he is able to find his own happy ending with Trent and Sara in this story. He is such an easy-going character, but he has had to do the work to get to that point. I loved how he treated Sara. His patience, tenderness, and true awe as he reveled in her was very special. His relationship with Trent was special in its own way. He was also incredibly patient with Trent. He was willing to help him yet let him find his own way to where they all needed to be. This was a very steamy read with some emotional moments. I love how the author delivered a hot book with character development that was layered and complex. I love this series. I am kind of sad to see this book be the end of it. The best thing about books is that I can go back and read these books as often as I want. I am sure there will be many times I do just that.
Tawna Fenske completely nailed it with The All-Inclusive. This is the third (and final) book in the Jilted Brides Honeymoon Club series, and honestly, it might be my favorite. It has everything I love- steamy chemistry, real emotions, and characters who actually grow and heal.
Sara and Trent have been together forever, and they were both raised in super strict religious households. She’s saving herself for marriage. He’s dealing with years of guilt, shame, and trauma. When he breaks off the engagement right before the wedding, Sara heads to the Jilted Brides resort to figure out what she really wants.
That’s where she meets Logan- a former Marine and resort consort who’s been in the background of the other books. I already liked him before, but now I absolutely love him. He’s kind, grounded, and the way he sees and supports Sara is just the chef’s kiss.
When Trent shows up at the resort, things could have easily turned into a typical love triangle, but instead, it becomes something so much deeper. Sara, Trent, and Logan all bring their own struggles, and the way their relationship unfolds is messy, emotional, sexy, and so honest.
This book isn’t just hot (though the spice might make some clutch their pearls). It’s about shedding shame, choosing your own path, and letting go of the expectations that never really fit. And that epilogue was perfect.
Tawna Fenske continues to prove that romance can be sexy, smart, and soul-stirring all at once. The All-Inclusive is a must-read for fans of emotionally complex, sex-positive, boundary-breaking love stories. Add this to your TBR- you won't want to miss it!
I had no idea what this one was about going in—I just knew I’d loved the first two books in the series, so of course I had to read book three!
Sara and Trent were both raised in ultra-strict religious households where marriage was seen as hard work and strictly between a man and a woman. So when Trent starts to question his feelings and whether he can give Sara the kind of marriage he thinks she wants, he bails. Sara ends up at the Crystal Bliss Resort as part of the Jilted Brides Honeymoon Club… where she AND Trent run into Logan. And let’s just say—he changes everything.
I’m not usually a fan of the "why choose" trope. It just hasn’t clicked for me before. But this book? It got me. Tawna Fenske did such an incredible job building the connection between these characters—their struggles, their growth, and the way everything came together just felt right. Realistic, emotional, and honestly, a really beautiful love story.
I think The All-Inclusive might be my favorite of the three books in the series, just because of the sheer amount of emotional growth these characters go through. It’s also super spicy—solid 4 to 5 on the spice scale—but with a fully developed plot and characters that make it so much more than just steam. If you’re looking for an erotic romance with real heart, this is it.
In the third installation of the Jilted Brides Honeymoon Club, our FMC has been with her fiancé since they were teenagers, and growing up in a very strong purity culture, she has saved herself for marriage. Not to say she isn't tempted, but it's what is expected of her. One of our MMCs is her fiancé, a Navy SEAL, who also grew up in a strict purity culture, with an abusive father who used queer slurs as the worst form of insults. On the night of the bachelor/bachelorette parties, she tries to convince him to secretly get married, so they can go all the way - and instead, he breaks it off with her. Ready to shed the title of virgin, she goes to the Jilted Brides resort - and meets our second MMC. He is a consort for the resort, and a former marine. He has been working there for 3 years and usually separates work from feelings, but something about her makes him faulter. When her fiancé finds her and storms into the room to catch them, things take a turn. Instead of anger, there is only desire, from all three of them. She decides to prove that this experience is about her and what she wants, so she lets them know - she wants them both, and it's clear they are all on board. But is this just a fantasy, or could it become their happily ever after?
OMG. Tawna you have done it again. I can honestly say this is my favourite book in the Jilted Brides Honeymoon Club. Sara and Trent have been friends and a couple for years. They have an agreement for Sara to save her virginity until their wedding night. After her bachelorette party and her being drunk tries to get Trent to bring that deal and marry in secret. Secret is a huge trigger word for Trent( will find out why) and end up leaving her. They both had a very strick upbringing about sex. She goes the the JBHC with a list of stuff she wants to do. Carmille and Eve recommand Logan for her. She books an enchantment with him. Trent finds out where she is and end up on the island too. That is when all heck breaks out. The 3 of them spend lots of time together and Trent becomes very uncomfortable with all of it. Logan and Sara want forever with Trent but he freaks out. Trent has to fly home to deal with a sitution with him mom and realizes how much he misses Sara and Logan. Lets just say.... they get there threesome happy ending.
I first heard about Tawna Fenske in August of 2015 when her book "About That Fling" was featured as a "Kindle First." I have completely fallen in love with the way that she tells a story. Her characters are fun, and even ones you may not like at first tend to grow on you. I would absolutely read anything written by Tawna.
After reading “The Upgrade” and “The VIP Package,” I could not wait to read the final book in the series. Based on who the main characters were, I was (shockingly) preparing for this to potentially be my first Tawna Fenske book to not necessarily be “my cup of tea.” Boy was I wrong.
I expected that I would skip certain pages because I wasn’t sure that I would actually want to read some of the subject matter of this book. I can honestly say that Tawna wrote so much in this book in such a tasteful way.
All in all, I absolutely enjoyed this series. I can’t wait to see the characters from the “Jilted Brides Honeymoon Club” pop up in her other books and series!
**A received an advanced reader copy for my honest review**
This book, while erotica, shows what's problematic and toxic about purity culture (regardless of religion).
Sara and Trent are about to get married and perfectly happy - or so Sara thinks. She's eagerly anticipating her wedding, and in particular her wedding night. She's ready to not be a virgin anymore. But then Trent drops a bombshell and leaves, saying he can't give her what she needs.
Heartbroken yet determined to not be the innocent little virgin anymore, Sara takes a page out of her friends' book, and rebooks their honeymoon to the exclusive and sex-positive Carribean resort.
While enjoying her first enchantment, who shows up but her former fiancé.
What follows is a story of emotional growth, sexual exploration, and coming to terms with the harm purity culture has done to them both as well as their relationship.
I really enjoyed how the story goes beyond erotica and offers an almost psychological exploration of breaking free from oppressive traditions and forging your own path.
Sara's book was not at all I would have expected when I started the series, but it ended up being absolutely perfect for her--and Trent. And Logan ;) I loved watching Sara come into her own, standing up for what she wanted--after figuring out what she wanted, that is! All of that experimentation...OMG, it was beyond delicious!
It's not all steamy scenes, though--there's a real story here about guilt and recovery, discovering yourself, and figuring out how to build a life for yourself and the ones you love even when it's going to be nothing like the life you grew up thinking was the only one you could have--or want.
I really enjoyed Eve and Camille's stories, but somehow Sara's felt even more special, especially given how she (and Trent) was raised. Though this can work as a standalone, reading all 3 in order will give you the best picture of what kind of place Crystal Bliss is and make Sara, Trent, and Logan's HEA all the sweeter.
And sexier. You should probably read this series with the A/C turned up pretty high--you have been warned!
Rating: 4 stars / A-
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
All Inclusive is book 3 in the Jilted Brides Honeymoon Club series by Tawna Fenske and the final book in the series! If you haven’t started this series you are totally missing out…
Up Next is Sarah and Trent’s story after being together for over 10 years and just weeks from the wedding, Trent calls it off. Sarah trades the honeymoon package for the Jilted Brides Club’s package just like her besties only difference she’s still a virgin and determined to not be any longer. What happens when Trent discovers she has gone to the island… religious upbringing, overcoming his secrets, super steamy, attraction to the consort, Logan, exploring options for a different future than originally planned, shame, guilt, emotional, throuple and a great ending to this series!
I voluntarily read a copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Logan was introduced previously in the series. I am so excited to have seen him again as a prominent character in this story and for him to get his HEA. I fell in love with Logan even more in this book.
While this book is spicy, it also is very emotional as well. I will admit that in the beginning after what Trent did to Sara, I was not a fan of his. Yet, once I learned about his reasoning and saw just how much he deeply loved Sara, I was on his side again.
Sara got her groove on! You go girl! Love that she was able to explore her wants and do it with Trent and Logan. They both made sure it was all about Sara. The fact that Logan and Trent went from enemies to lovers had me, YES!! I love this book so, so much. It is a must read for sure!
I just absolutely love this series! I have enjoyed every book so far, and this one was no different. Sara, Trent, and Logans story was such a good one. I adored the military heros in this book, and seeing Logans back story after reading about him in the other books. The virgin bride aspect, and seeing the perspective of a super religious family was so interesting to me. I loved seeing Sara let go of all the things holding her back and grow into a confident woman. Trents family broke my heart, he overcomes so much. This is a MMF story, so if that isn't your thing than be warned. This series was so spicy and I devoured each book in it. Tawna has the ability to write scorching hot romance that still makes you giggle and your heart melt. I am so sad it has come to an end!
You know it’s Portland when you have to specify which vegan strip club.
My Review:
Holy scorched sheets, this missive was atomically hot! This is the final installment of the series, and it was on fire from beginning to end; my Kindle was sweating, and so was I. There were multiple well-paced and relevant storylines with the plot featuring a dumped, repressed, chastity culture virgin bride who had been saving herself for her Marine fiancé/childhood sweetheart, who BTW, had been sampling a variety of wares elsewhere. Sparks flew, romance bloomed, snarky repartee was flung about, family issues were dealt with, and all had a much-anticipated and highly desired happy ending. Sigh, if only real life ran as smoothly as this was written.
I'm somewhat wrecked over the fact that The Jilted Brides Honeymoon Club trilogy has come to an end 😭 but my lanta WHAT AN END IT WAS 👏🏻
This ended up being my favorite of the three, I loved everything about Sara's story. Her journey had me locked in! Tawna has the amazing abilty to write a scorching hot erotic romance that still feels bubbly with comedy, romance and plot.
Every time Sara said "oh", I smiled (or melted into a puddle) iykyk
Loved the little tidbits that come from Tawna being a local to Bend, OR. My hubs and I lived there for a few years and LOVE the area. So I was able to pick up on all the little Easter eggs throughout the book.
This book was an amazing, steamy page-turner; a completely stunning story of adult growth and communication. Sara was raised in the world of purity culture, and shortly before her wedding, her fiancé Trent walks away, saying he can't do this and offering no explanation. Sara decides to use her honeymoon travel credit to visit the Jilted Brides Honeymoon Club, where she can explore her sexual fantasies. I've read plenty of runaway and jilted bride stories, but this is certainly the most creative one ever - the idea of the Jilted Brides Club is outstanding! Sara comes into her own as an adult and asks for what she wants, and then her former fiancé arrives and mayhem ensues. There is plenty of humor, lots of growth and communication, and lots of spice. Though the plot events of the story are quite far from my experience, Ms. Fenske's writing engaged my imagination and made it all believable. This is my first read from this series; I plan to catch up on the others promptly.
I was given an ARC and volunteered to write a review.
The All-Inclusive is amazing. I loved this so much. I could not get enough of Trent, Logan and Sara. Sara runs to the Jilted Brides Honeymoon Club resort with reason. She is so ready to find her awakening after Trent leaves her. You feel the battle with in Trent as he tries to navigate everything and trying to label himself. He is so protective and you feel the love he has for Sara. Logan is our favorite consort at the resort and a big sweetheart. You feel the chemistry he shares with Sara and Trent. I love how this dynamic works and leaves you fanning yourself. Trent, Sara and Logan took my heart. I could not put this down. I loved every moment of this. You need to one click this today.
The final book of the Jilted Brides Honeymoon Club series is on fire!!! While the previous 2 books explored many different erotic scenarios, The All-Inclusive focuses on one M/F/M throuple and their experiences at the Crystal Bliss resort.
I loved seeing Logan get his HEA after seeing him in each book throughout the series. And I really liked how Trent and Sara were able to salvage their decade long relationship after Trent chickened out before walking down the aisle and how Sara took command of her sexuality.
Super, super HOT! The story line was unexpected for me and then when Logan came into the picture, an interesting path to follow. This was a journey of self awareness, for two of the main characters and kept hoping that they would figure it out, they did, but at different points of their relationship. The Jilted Brides Honeymoon Club is the place to go, especially when you ask for Logan. Logan was in the first two books as well, and I'm happy that he also gets his HEA. Definitely steamy, hot, and fan yourself chapters. I loved it.
wow, this one is just as hot, possibly even hotter than the rest of the jiltted brides series.
we get to see the last one of the group go through heartbreak as her long-time partner and ex fiance? walk out the door 4 weeks before their wedding
but there's always more to the story, and this one really packs a punch!
I want to spill everything that happens, but I dont want to ruin the experience. though these three will make your heart soar and possibly swoon at the same time
What a fantastic series! This final instalment is the icing on the cake. I loved Sara and Tate's journey during this thoughtful, complicated, blissful and spicy story. Having met Logan in the earlier stories, I adored his addition to the plot, and couldn't get enough of the emotion, compassion, chemistry, exploration and healing that took place in these addictive pages. The epilogue was a gorgeous ending - I don't want to say farewell.
Sara and Trent supposed to get married, but few weeks before wedding Trent tells Sara, that he can't marry her. Sara does what her friends did and go to Jilted Brides Honeymoon Club, where all her fantasies can be fulfilled. When Trent finds out about this, he follows her there, only problem is, that she can find out his secret. I loved this story.
I don't know what to think ... IT was nice but i wasn't really expecting that and it was too much on the angsty side than fun. Also feelings that deep in less than a week were hard to believe. And i feel like Logan and Trent relationship was a bit brushed over. Overall a bit disapointed but a quick read.
So happy Sara gets her HEA with her hot Navy SEAL and more! Sizzling sexy times with all the feels. Tawny Feske has built a fabulous sex positive world with people you can relate to. This book is the perfect ending for this trio of jilted brides who got their HEAs in surprising and inventive fashion.
Whew!! What a fantastic book. Best of the series!! Sara is such a lucky woman. It didn’t start off that way but she really worked her magic. Trent started off as a bit of an idiot but he ended up coming around after he got his head out of his butt. Logan was the missing piece of this throuple. He’s so charismatic and just perfect, just like this book.
I loved this story of Sara and Trent! I'm so glad that Trent was meant to be part of this story and not like the other fiancees. Logan fits perfectly with these two. So glad that both Sara and Trent were able to get over their upbringing. I love this book and series. They all were great but this one may be my favorite. I highly recommend the whole series!
So HOT!! Ask for Logan. He will take care of you! Boy, does he ever. Then Trent shows up...and stays. A throuple has been formed and things become even more heated. Did I mention how HOT this book is. Come with ice, you are going to need it.
The All Inclusive-Jilted Brides Honeymoon Club #3 saved the hottest story for the final book in the series.Sara get her heart broken by her fiancé and best friend. She heads to the same exclusive sex resort her besties went to.
Such a perfect happy ending for our favorite virgin Sara ❤️❤️❤️ Definitely some heartbreak along the way, but Logan, Trent and Sara navigate their way through awkwardness, homophobia and hard family truths. Loved it!!!!
