What a fantastic summer read that you will love love love!
This is the first book that I've read by this author and I couldn't put it down it is a real page turner and I loved every minute of this book. This is a real beautiful love story that is a best friends sister romance and is a complete must read as I couldn't put this book down right until the end I really enjoyed reading it.

Dalton is a man that thinks that he is about to get married that is until his now ex fiance calls of there wedding with only days to go he's stunned. He now has to tickets for the trip they were meant to take that he cant get refunded for. He is stuck for someone to go on this trip with him so Taylor his best friends sister ends up going along.

Taylor has had a major crush on Dalton for the longest time ever and never thought anything of it because she knows his doesn't have any feelings for her, Right? But years down the line and now being offered this trip to go on all she thinking is its just a few days and nothing will happen. Dalton actually sees the woman that is his best friends sister and how gorgeous she is and he cant take his eyes from her.
Can everything change so much in 6 days?

This book is a beautiful love story of two people that was always meant to be, its hot, steamy, and with some heart aching moments that will have you really rooting for them both. I loved the way that this author has written her characters and how real they felt. They had so much chemistry between each other and they just didn't really communicate there feelings to each other.
I always love books that have prologues and epilogues to as I always feel like they always add that something extra special to the story.
This author written this book so great that you could visualize where they were and this story completely flows and this author writing style is awesome. Once I started it I couldn't put it down and I hope to read more of these characters one day. I will defiantly look out for this authors work in the future because I really enjoyed this book.

“I’ve always wanted you…
You’re even more perfect than I imagined…”


Gahhh I love every book Ashley Cade has, but Six Nights in Paradise is taking the lead on my forever in love list!! This book is romantic, hot, steamy, sexy…ugh simply perfect!! This is the kind of book you won’t be able to put down; Ashley Cade is well known for her perfect steamy scenes but believe me your lady bits aren’t ready for this one!!

After being in a serious relationship for over two years, Daltons ex-fiancée decided to cancel the wedding and leave him stranding with the honeymoon plans. After no one could accompany him in such short notice, now Dalton is finding himself in an airplane with his best friend’s sister. Taylor is everything his ex-fiancée is not, and he can’t keep his eyes off of her, but nothing can happen between them, she deserves the world, and even more; something he’s not ready for.

Taylor is taking some time from College after a big scandal, one she wants to keep from her family. So, having some free time off college was the perfect excuse for her brother to send her away with Dalton, the only issue here is that Taylor made a move on him when they were just kids and it didn’t go well, but now she’s over him…right?

Whooot whooot this is one of those books that puts you in a great mood, its fresh and exciting!!

Holy hell! This is one spicy book. Make sure you have a glass of water around to cool you down!

Six Nights in Paradise brought the steam. It has everything you are looking for in a summer beach read (or a stay at home during quarantine read!) I could not put this book down. It was fun, flirty, and hot as hell.

I absolutely loved the story between Dalton and Taylor. They had chemistry and heat and everything you could want in a happily ever after.

You MUST READ this book!

Ashley Cade’s Six Nights In Paradise had me hooked from the very beginning! I loved the forced into going on vacation together story line. The writing was great, and it was easy to envision the beautiful settings described. I also really loved Taylor, she is a great FMC. I enjoyed how she handled the issues she had going on. I just thought Dalton was a jerk even from the beginning. No matter what his reasons were, he annoyed me. When the conflict in the story arose, the things he did drove me crazy. I thought Taylor was too good for him, but I loved their chemistry and HEA. If you love brother’s best friend, forced proximity/one bed, second chance, and spice, I definitely recommend! I listened to the audiobook and thought the narration between Stefanie Kay and Gideon Frost was amazing!! They added even more to the characters for me.

Six Nights in Paradise is the perfect escape from reality. It definitely made me wish I was at a beautiful beach resort! Dalton has just gotten dumped by his fiancé the week of their wedding. Taylor just got out of horrible breakup and college scandal. When Dalton decides to take his honeymoon sans fiancé, fate intervenes and Taylor ends up coming along. Most of the book took place a beach resort in the Caribbean. Taylor and Dalton have always had unrequited crushes on each other, but never acted because of Taylor’s brother and Dalton’s best friend, Aiden. So, when the two of them end up in a romantic resort together, sparks fly but real life beckons them back home. There was some extra drama in here that I personally didn’t love, but I won’t spoil that. I liked both characters, the writing was good, pace of the storyline moved along seamlessly. It was a fun escape from daily life and I would recommend it.

I think this book popped up on prime reading last fall and I thought it looked fun - it ended up being the PERFECT little book for the moment, and shorter in length. Fun, flirty, great characters, great chemistry and a storyline that had me finishing this book in 24 hours. It would be a great little summer/vacay/beach read - as the couple take on the water and fun of the caribbean. Often these fun beach reads are repetitive or predictable - but his one had such a great vibe to it that you didn't even analyze!!!! first favorite of the year - this one made me smile and smell the salty air and sunshine!!! I'll definitely be checking out what else this author has out there!!

When Dalton's cheating fiancée calls off their wedding, it means he has non-refundable honeymoon tickets. Sounds like a good time for him to take a vacation. Solo. But then his best friend Aiden gets the brilliant idea to have Dalton bring his sister Taylor along with him. Um no...not the girl he's always had feelings for. The girl Aiden warned him away from when they were 17. Yeah. That girl. Who's no longer a girl. Who's a full grown woman. A knockout of a woman! Six nights together shouldn't be a problem, right?



Brother's best friend is one of my favorite romance tropes, and Ashley Cade did it right in Six Nights in Paradise. Dalton and Taylor are so sweet together and their chemistry practically leapt out of my Kindle. I may not have liked the little drama toward the end, but it was resolved fairly painlessly, and they moved into their well deserved HEA.

4.5 Stars - I thoroughly enjoyed Dalton and Taylor's story. It was full of sizzling tension and desperate chemistry.

"Our growing attraction was making it harder to keep my hands off her. The line between friendship and lovers was blurring more and more every day."

Both Dalton and Taylor have held a torch for one anohter since they were teenagers but a warning-off by Taylor's brother, who was also his best friend, had him steering clear of her for eight years. However, when Dalton ends up facing a honeymoon for one, and Taylor is unexpectedly home for the summer, they find themselves jetting to paradise for six days and nights. Six days and nights of misunderstood friction, suppressed lust, and the inevitable breaking down of guards. Although, is it too much too soon?

"My lips caught hers and I poured the last eight years of longing into our kiss."

I really liked how the author dealt with the fact that both Dalton and Taylor were coming off relationships that had imploded, yet could still move forward together. Both had realistically never thought they had a shot at love together, so had been getting on with their separate lives. I adored the seemingly unrequited love theme going on, as well as their hot passion together. I found it hard to put my Kindle down, as I really wanted to know how things panned out between them. It was a pretty delicious read and looking forward to reading more from this author.

Six Nights in Paradise is the story of Dalton and his bed friend's sister Taylor. Taylor has always had a crush on Dalton but felt like her feelings were unrequited. Meanwhile years later Dalton gets engaged to Gianna who decides to cancel their wedding days before the nuptials. Dalton has a non refundable honeymoon to take and offers Taylor the other ticket and she agrees. Six Nights of Paradise is full of tension as these two dance around each other and their feelings. There's plenty of well written steamy scenes and chemistry to fill the pages between the two characters. I also enjoyed the climax was different from the typical route many of these stories take. It heaped on the extra angst and took a different direction. This was my first book by Ashley and I look forward to reading more of her work after diving into this book!

This was my first read by Ashley Cade and I'm so glad I picked it up. I'm definitely going to be checking out more of her books.

I love best friends brother romances, especially if they've known each other since childhood - its a weakness of mines lol. Taylor and Dalton's story had me hooked from the first few chapters, so much so that I didn't put it down until I was finished.

This was a nice easy read that is definitely going to go onto my reread list.

Six Nights in Paradise was a steamy brother's best friend/best friend's sister romance, but it fell short with the predictable twists. Taylor loves her brother Aiden's best friend Dalton, and has always had a crush on him. After a disastrous night in high school when she kisses him and he tells her they can't be together, they become distant and rarely speak to each other. Now, Taylor is in college, but after being forced to go on leave for the summer, she doesn't have anything to do. Dalton was engaged and about to marry his fiancé, but she tells him she's seeing someone else a week before the wedding. He can't get a refund on the honeymoon, so he decides to go. Taylor, not having anything to do, agrees to go with him when Aiden suggests Dalton and her can go together. They spend six nights on the Caribbean island, and while they have insane chemistry and they're both attracted to each other, how can they ever make this work in the real world where trouble awaits them. I loved the first half of this book, when Taylor and Dalton are on the honeymoon. It wasn't exactly a slow-burn romance because they got together pretty quickly, but there was definitely some sexual tension and many steamy scenes. I really loved seeing them together on the island. I also found Taylor's college predicament interesting to read about and it added to her own story. But where this book fell short for me was the whole Dalton and his ex-fiance Gianna situation. It became way too predictable and I wasn't invested in the story anymore. The plot twists were ones I've seen too many times before. I became bored and wasn't interested in their relationship as much. I also wish there had been more communication between them when they returned from the island. Other than that disappointment, I really enjoyed Dalton and Taylor. Aiden was a non-issue and his role in everything wasn't a big source of tension. I felt a tad rushed with some of the pacing, but overall, I liked the story.

In ‘Six Nights In Paradise’ we meet Dalton, a hardworking guy who just got left by his fiancée only a view days before their wedding. Devastated and desperate to forget, Dalton agrees on taking his best friends little sister on his ‘honeymoon’. Taylor has had a crush on her brothers best friend forever, but he never showed any interest in her. When she finds herself agreeing on going on Dalton’s ‘honeymoon’, she keeps hoping to see something in Dalton that tells her she finally has a chance with him. But who is she kidding? The guy was supposed to get married.

‘Six Nights in Paradise’ was from the beginning a read I very much enjoyed. The two main characters Dalton and Taylor have had this chemistry between them for years. But Dalton promised his best friend to stay away from his little sister, and Taylor believes Dalton doesn’t feel anything more for her than friendship. When they find themselves on a ‘honeymoon’ together, they can’t resist their feelings for long. And I loved reading about their romance from start to finish. The chemistry they feel between them, is definitely something you can feel coming of the pages. And it was just so good!

Dalton and Taylor where definitely fun to get to know. Dalton is a hardworking, good guy who thought he had a good thing going on and was going to get married. Although he always felt something for his best friends little sister, he made a promise to another woman and he would never betray that. I loved him for that. And Taylor’s character, while slightly younger and naiver was also really fun to get to know.

This book hooked me on from the very first page till the very end. There where some moments that felt a little off to me. Like the way how easily Taylor seemed to forgive Dalton.. But it didn’t bother me to much. I just loved their story.

‘Six Nights in Paradise’ definitely was a fun, romantic, sexy, summer read.

This was a cute and fast-paced story, and I usually adore all things involving the brothers best friend trope, but this one fell so flat for me.

This book starts off when Taylor (h) is in high school and is finally telling ready to tell Dalton (H) how she really feels about him.. But one kiss leads to him breaking her heart. Fast forward a handful of years and Taylor is still very much attracted and in love with Dalton, even though she knows she shouldn't be.

Dalton was a week away from getting married when his fiance unceremoniously announces that she's not in love with him anymore and has been seeing someone else for the last few months. Filled with rage, he plans on going on their honeymoon with one of his buddies so he can drink and screw his pain away. Those plans come to a halt when his best friend suggests that he takes Taylor with him since he and their other friends can't go.. And he reluctantly agrees even though he knows it's going to end in disaster. He's always had real feelings for her, but burried them since he knew he would lose his friend if he ever acted on them, so being with her for a week in paradise is his own personal hell. Will these two finally be able to come together and have what they've always wanted? Or are the scars on both of their hearts too much to overcome?

I really wanted to love this, but it was just so surface level, and felt almost childlike at times. Especially with their fights and inner-monologues. Dalton was in his 30s and still seemed to be stuck in a frat boy phase, and Taylor was just so naive -- annoyingly so. I hated how their conflict arose, I hated how Dalton reacted, and I really disliked how anti-climatic the ending was. This obviously just wasn't for me.

Six Nights in Paradise is @authorashleycade 's third book baby, and just like her first two, this was amazing.
This book follows Dalton, who just got broken up with by his fiancé 5 days before his wedding, and Taylor, his best friend's little sister on what would have been Dalton's honeymoon.
Y'all, this book was so steamy. And these characters, were amazing. @authorashleycade did such an amazing job writing this book, the characters, the resort. I felt like I was watching the story unfold instead of reading it. I found myself falling in love with the characters throughout the book and rooting for them.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to read and review this book. It was so incredible!

I truly, truly loved this book and the characters. I think it has been one of the best I've read in this trope.

Taylor and Dalton have had feelings for each other since god knows when but Dalton was given the whole riot act in not thinking about getting together with Taylor by none other than her brother and his best friend so he's always stayed clear of Taylor. As the years pass and Dalton is now about to get married he gets left pretty much almost at the altar. He canceled the wedding but he refused to cancel his honeymoon....only problem is that he can't find anyone who would go with him on this trip. Taylor's brother suggests he take Taylor since she's on summer break from college and is pretty much the only one available.

When Taylor and Dalton go together on this trip they try not to make it awkward between them and continue on as friends. But one night of jealousy has Dalton claiming Taylor as his. All bets are off and their summer fling has begun. The moments they shared were hot, steamy and intense and I was totally loving it.

Once they get back home, reality hits and the question is, can Dalton and Taylor make it work without hiding? They both realized how much they loved each other and they're perfect for each other.

I loved Taylor, her way of thinking and just taking the initiative when she needed to (that's my girl)! And Dalton, it took him a while to finally realize that Taylor was important to him regardless if his best friend approved or not.

4.5 Stars

This is a really cute brothers best friend book. Taylor has been in love with her brothers friend since high school. She even got up the courage to go for it once, but Dalton pushed her away and then she did everything she could to avoid him.

Dalton has had a thing for Taylor since she was 14 and he saw her in her bathing suit but his friend said she was off limits and he took that to heart, even got engaged to his girlfriend of three years. Then days before the wedding his fiancée tells him she can’t marry him.

So what is one to do, well I guess you invite the woman you’ve had a thing for since you were a teenager but is off limits on a romantic, tropical honeymoon.

Dalton and Taylor have some great chemistry and 6 days in paradise seals the deal for them only the ex almost gets in the way.

What turned into two people trying to escape their lives for a little bit turned into a super cute love story.

Dalton was thrown for a loop when his fiance called off their wedding just a few days before the ceremony, and now he's stuck with the honeymoon trip he planned, but since it's so last minute, he's resigned to going alone. However, imagine his surprise when his best friend's sister, Taylor, ends up on the plane with him, and he can't keep his eyes off of her. Of course there's that whole bro code thing, plus the whole situation with his wedding being cancelled that keeps him trying to talk himself out of the stuff he's thinking. Taylor has been crushing on him for years, but after a bad decision on her part, she came to the conclusion that she needed to move on. So, what could go wrong in 6 days?! Well, they have insane heat which ignites quickly making it impossible for them to keep their hands to themselves taking us on a seriously steamy journey with a kicker of angst & sweetness that kept me turning the pages quickly. So hit those one click buttons for an amazing summer read that I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

This is a best friend’s sister romance. After an awkward attempt to get Dalton to notice her when she was a teenager, Taylor has avoided interacting with him over the years. Until her brother volunteers her to accompany Dalton on a vacation to paradise that was supposed to have been his honeymoon. The tension and sparks between them have not lessened with time and Cade does a great job at turning up the heat with the push and pull of their relationship as they struggle to keep their feelings under wraps. Cade creates a beautiful picture of paradise and you can almost feel the warm sun and the sand between your toes. As with all good romances, the road to the HEA is never smooth and this book is no different. There is a great cast of supporting characters, some you will love and others you will love to hate. This was a fun, entertaining, and steamy read. Advanced copy provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.

INCREDIBLE READ!

4 ★★★★


My first read of Ashley Cade and this book is sooooo gooooood!

It's brother's best friend romance trope set in exotic Caribean island.
Dalton is supposed to go to the Caribean with his soon-to-be-wife-turned-ex wife.
Having no one that can go with him, his best friend suggests he takes his sister, Taylor.

What no one knows is that both Dalton and Taylor harbors feelings towards each other for years.
Spending six nights in paradise (literally) where they enjoy coupling activities and basically enjoy each other company, they cannot stop their feelings to blossoms.

This is such fun reading, I found myself enjoy it more and more with every page.
The setting is gorgeous, the characters are lovable, and the story is fast-paced without being rushed. The plot is also well-written and I just can't stop swoon after Dalton 😍

I thoroughly enjoy reading this!

Oh my gosh, y'all! This book! First of all, this is a brother's best friend falls in love with the little sister story. I happen to love this trope! In the beginning both parties are dealing with broken hearts. Dalton's fiance leaves him a week before the wedding. He's determined to go on the honeymoon and enjoy the beach, even if he has to do it alone. But when his best friend, Aiden, suggests his sister Taylor go, all bets are off. Taylor has had a crush on Dalton for as long as she can remember. Can they keep their hands off each other for an entire week?

I loved this book because the story was so sweet. Don't worry, it was quite steamy, too! Dalton is both caring and a total alpha. This story is the perfect happy summer read. Dalton and Taylor left me with all the feels. Loved it! 5 stars
