I always look forward to a Georgia Cates book, because I never know what I'm going to get. But I always know it'll be hot and I'll find myself hard pressed not to love the hero. INDULGE did not disappoint.

Anna James finds herself heading to a hedonistic resort with her best friend and husband to celebrate her divorce from her cheating ex-husband. Despite having reservations about being at such a club, she can't pass up a trip to spend some quality time at a Jamaican resort. She was ready for fun in the sun, she just wasn't expecting Beau Emerson.

Beau's character was larger than life and seemed to leap off the page. With his southern charm and sexual chemistry he was hard to resist from the minute we meet him. And as the first part of the book is told from Anna's POV, we know she found herself hard press to resist him as well. Despite having participated in a non-conventional relationship, you knew Beau was willing to do whatever it took to be with Anna James just by the way he acted with her. And as the story flipped to his POV, we knew exactly what he thought and what he wanted from our reluctant heroine. You couldn't help but pull for him. His relationships in the past were more about being caught up in something because his partner introduced it, rather than it being something that Beau wanted. So you felt bad for him when he suddenly found himself without the one person who made him feel complete.
Sometimes I wondered about Anna James. For someone who was best friends with someone who was into alternate lifestyles, she was very closed minded and judgmental when it came to Beau. She was quick to not believe what he was saying, rather than taking his word when he told her how he felt about her. It was frustrating. Especially when she used his past against him as a reason for her to act poorly and keep a huge secret from him. And she was likable.
I enjoyed INDULGE. It was a fun escape into some beach fun and a hot romance. Georgia Cates never disappoints and INDULGE is definitely one to pick up.
