Publisher Description
Their relationship is over. Their "romantic getaway" is just beginning.
Six months after a disastrous breakup, math professor Harry and bar owner Elias win a free luxury trip to Thailand. The catch? They won the "Dream Gay Getaway" contest from a dating app back when they were still a couple.
Now, to collect the $100,000 prize, they have to pretend to be blissfully in love for their peppy, marketing-obsessed chaperone.
Harry
Elias is a commitment-phobic germaphobe who's more attached to his bird statues than he ever was to me. He dumped me over one misplaced beer can. Now I'm stuck sharing a room with him, faking swoons for the camera? Fine.
I can survive two weeks. I will not be tempted by his sultry smile or his ridiculously ripped body. I definitely won't offer to rub sunscreen on his mile-wide shoulders. Even if he's the only guy I ever really cared about.
Elias
Harry may be a brilliant professor, but he's also a total slob. He's the last man I'd want to travel with. He's the reason I'm packing yellow "Do Not Cross" tape for the hotel bed.
But for a free trip and fifty grand, I can handle it. If I have to pretend to be in love with my hot-mess ex, so be it. The problem is... the more we fake it, the more I realize this might be my last real chance with the one man I can't forget.
Ex on the Beach is a 51,000-word, steamy, second-chance romcom. It's packed with forced proximity, only one bed (with a literal police line), a Timothee Chalamet impersonator, and a serious case of horn knee.
Customer Reviews
Surprised…
From the beginning, I wondered what Elias saw in Harry, and wondered how they had ever been a couple. The trip appears at first to confirm my wondering. However, Harry at the police station seemed to crack the shell and allow me to see more of the real Harry. The gift seemed to cement their new relationship until it tumbled to an early death. As the end of the book neared, I really thought this book was going to need a sequel to save them. A fascinating “American” restaurant helped bring us home. Delightful read!!
