Weekend Fling: A Small-Town Romance (A Jetty Beach Romance Book 5) Kindle Edition

by Claire Kingsley (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 3,059 ratings
It’s just a fling. Or is it?

Juliet Blake shows up at my bar, dejected after her surprise girls’ weekend goes bad. So I do the usual—mix her a drink and listen to her troubles. I’m a spontaneous guy, so I offer to help—spend the rest of the weekend with her so she’s not alone on her birthday.

I don’t expect her to end up in my bed, but when she does, it’s mind-blowing. And after a smoking hot weekend together, I realize I could use a little more Juliet in my life. See her again? Sure. But it’s still just a fling. I have my reasons. My heart can’t take more.

Sexy bartender Finn O’Conner thinks he has the solution to my troubles. Birthday weekend gone bad? Nothing a nice drink and some hot eye candy can’t solve. And Finn is all kinds of hot.

Spending the weekend with him is impulsive—so unlike me. But throwing off my planner tendencies feels amazing—as does Finn. I’m not supposed to fall for him. He doesn’t believe in forever. But as our weekend fling turns into a whirlwind romance, my heart will never be the same.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Opposites Attract - Whirlwind Fling/Romance
    Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    Finn O'Conner doesn't think he'll ever get married. He lives for today and believes spontaneity is the best kind of fun.

    Juliet Blake's best friends surprise her with a weekend trip to Jetty Beach for her birthday. Since Juliet is a planner to the nth degree, she's not a fan of surprises. Once they arrive and they give her the first gift, she decides she's going to step out of her comfort zone and try to have fun in the moment.

    When Madison and Becca get sick, Juliet goes out to have a drink and tells the bartender (Finn) how things have not gone according to plan so far. Finn offers to show Juliet around, and they wind up having a lot more fun than either of them ever expected.

    This is definitely a case of opposites attract, once they both come to terms with the fact that both of their beliefs/opinions about forever actually do have some flexibility if they allow themselves time to learn more about the other.

    Sweet Scale: 4/5

    Juliet is sitting on her bed watching Becca and Madison rummaging through her closet and dresser drawers packing a suitcase. She's going to have to repack everything. Did they not know that she had a packing list? And things have to be folded a certain way? To top that off, her two best friends just showed up on her doorstep and told her they were going for a long weekend. She was not closing herself off on her birthday.
    She really didn't want to celebrate her birthday. She is getting ready to turn twenty-eight and thought she would be married by this point in her life. Instead, the man she had been dating for years decided to break up with her last month and the really sad thing was that she wasn't sad for the breakup...even though they were alike in many ways, he was rather boring in the bedroom. No matter how many times she offered to mix things up he didn't take the hint.

    Her friends are refusing to give her their weekend plans telling her to stop being an over-thinking control freak. They head toward the highway and drive the several hours to Jetty Beach. She remembers coming here when she was younger and she questions their decision to spend the weekend at the beach considering the dreary rain, but they tell her there was a reason they picked Jetty Beach.

    When they pull in front of an old church she looks at them in confusion. Even more confused when they hand her the first of her birthday gifts. She opens the box to find a very sexy lace negligee. Then they tell her that they scheduled her for a boudoir photo session. She decides this is the perfect time to do something spontaneous.

    Finn holds the door to the Mariner's Grille for the three women exiting. They are so involved in their conversation they really don't notice his smile. Although he could eat at his bar, he decided to get a sandwich instead before heading to work. There doesn't seem to be any other customers in the restaurant and the table next to him hasn't been cleared of the dishes. Then he notices a black folder on the table. Did it belong to the women who just left?

    Finn looks around feeling guilty about looking inside the folder especially when he sees Ryan Jackson Photography stamped on the front. Ryan is one of his friends and he is well aware of the type of photographs he takes. He was initially going to leave them with the waiter, but the thought of him leering at these photos turned his stomach, so instead he takes them with him and decides to call Ryan instead.

    I loved listening to Ava Lucas & Richard Sawyer as they narrated Juliet & Finn's story. This story is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable.

    This is the first time I have listened to either of these narrators. Ava Lucas did a wonderful job bringing Juliet to life. Her voice is full of energy and just the perfect amount of frustration. Loved...loved...loved Richard Sawyer's portrayal of Finn...that accent...sigh. Reading a Claire Kingsley novel is always a treat and joy, but hearing it told through these narrators made it even better.

    Highly recommend the book, Claire Kingsley and both these narrators!

    This is entertaining, LOL funny, sexy, sizzling and romantic! Just what everyone wants in a Fling! Juliet’s friends kidnap her for a weekend birthday surprise, she is totally freaking out until they arrive at Jetty Beach. There the first surprise they have for her is a booked session with a photographer to have boudoir photographs taken. And for the first time in her life she goes with the flow.

    But when they can’t find her folder of the risqué pictures as they are getting ready to head out for the night, after dinner, she is frantic that these photos could get in the wrong hands. But before she knows it her friends are both sick and she is heading out for the first girls night out all by herself. Poor Juliet decides to look for her photos but when the restaurant is closed she heads next door to a Bar. One glance at the gorgeous bartender and she is smitten. She knows that this could be her chance of having a great birthday weekend. Finn the bartender at Jetty Beach also owns it. Both of these two have a great time talking and when Juliet reveals that her birthday is tomorrow, Finn offers to show her the sights , since her friends are sick.

    Both Finn and Juliet have been burned by love before and have a lot to learn about love. But with a sizzling connection they will definitely have fun setting new records and having a amazing times together. You need to read this to get all the details. So HOT!!!!!!!

    As usual Claire Kingsley delivers a well crafted and thought out story. This is a fun and easy read.

    I liked the characters and their doubt and internal musings. Finn is adorable and fun loving while Juliet is a planner and has a hard time letting her hair down. The story is a great mix of laid back fun with a dash of crazy no plan anxiety (I will let you guess who has the anxiety). I liked these characters and the setting of Jetty Beach I think I will check out the other titles set in this location.

    Happy reading!
