Room Upgrade (California Crush series #0.5)

We interrupt your regularly scheduled program to share even more novellas/short stories that I found on #ProlificWorks (through their Your Book Boyfriend's Boyfriend giveaway). I didn't go through and read the description to every book (yet), but I did go through and see if I recognized any of the other authors on the list (about a month or so ago I found two--one on purpose and one on accident) and immediately claimed each one.

Here's Mia Monroe's "Room Upgrade" (Mia also wrote the Tattoos and Temptations series). "Room Upgrade" is a novella/prequel/introduction to Mia's California Crush series.

["What if I want my vacation fling to be a permanent stayover?

The best way to cope with finding my boyfriend trying to hookup behind my back? Rebound, of course. Our vacation to sunny San Diego was meant to rekindle our relationship. Little did I know, he had already moved on.

Rather than licking my wounds in my hotel room, I decide to take advantage of the hotel’s amenities, including the offer of a nightcap with the gorgeous bartender. I deserve a vacation fling as much as anyone.

Only one night turns into more, and before the weekend is over, I’m wondering if it’s time to make my Room Upgrade permanent."]

This short story was very right-place-right-time meets what-if-soulmates-existed meets carpe-diem meets when-you-know-you-know. It was a little overly cheesy and Hallmark-y, but it worked for them.

And having been throughly introduced to the hotel/resort and the people that work there, I cannot wait to see what the rest of the series holds (besides lots and lots and lots of (queer) potential ;) ).

Gotta say, at first, I didn't remember which tattoo-themed series I read in the past was Tattoos and Temptations. That being said, I not must go make sure that I've read all of Mia's other works; if not, they will be quickly added to the list. ;)
