Years of listening to her best friend Danielle’s relationship woes had assured her she was right to avoid romance altogether. But ever since Dani returned from vacation in love and looking like the poster girl for happily ever after with her new boyfriend Evan Weston, Georgia has been questioning her wild ways and thinking about the future.
In an attempt to forget about the uncertainties that plague her and escape the constant symphony of sex noises coming through the walls of her apartment thanks to Evan and Danielle, Georgia jets off to Desire Resort & Spa hoping to enjoy the rowdy vacation hotspot the way it was meant to be enjoyed.
No strings attached. No commitments. And with one sexy stranger…no names.
But when strings appear, complicating what was supposed to be a carefree getaway, and commitment suddenly doesn’t sound as bad as it used to, Georgia finds herself wondering if lust is really enough.

I received this book from the amazing hottie author for an honest review.
*Shouting from the mountain tops* I. LOVE. HARRISON! Yes That is how this is going to start. I am going to shake my finger at all you other readers and growl like a mad dog to tell you to stay AWAY...walk away. Drop your kindles and stop reading because this mas is TAKEN!! Ok FINE! I will tell you all about my future baby daddy only because Kate says I gotta tell ya.
Georgia is kinda lost. She is just going through a funk and needs to figure stuff out. She is jealous of her bestie and her budding love with Evan. But she is also happy for her love with Evan. She hates her job but doesnt know what else she can do? She is also not in love with her love 'em and leave 'em life but she wont open up to the possibility of heart ache . She is just confused. SOOO she does what she made her bestie do...she goes to the resort hoping a week off of her life and a lot of "excercise" will help get her outta her funk. She keeps this trip a secret from her bestie becasue she just needs to figure some stuff out for herself.
She walks in to the bar the very first night and sizes up the men but the one man who catches her attention is the book nerd at the table. A lot of flirting and they are "exercising" in his room....When Gerogia opens up to the no named stranger cuz that is what she wants...no string.....she tells about her bestie falling in love with her celebrity boy friend. This is when everything gets CRAY CRAY!!! Turns out her Mr. no string is *DRUM ROLL* Harison!! Yup , he is Evan's bestie. The one he shares a bromance with. Say WHAT???
Well Harrison and her have a few mishaps but form this crazy friendship but its not an ordinary friendship. He is peeling her walls down and making her FEEL somethings she doesnt want to name!! The friendship is forever changed when someone makes rude comments about Georgia and Harrison FLIPS! RAWR! ALpha Male never looks quite as good as it did on him.
So Harrison and Gerogia go home buuuuut dont tell anyone because of Georgia's crazy messed up mind about love and realtionships. I will tell you that I might have threatend to punch her in the ovaries a time or two but then MY Harrison would say and do everything right annnnd I was back to dreamy sighs like Georgia was.
I was in love with the Epilogue. I cant even begin to tell you about it because there are so many one liners that are important to the story. All i can say is give Harry a try but DONT FALL IN LOVE LADIES cuz he is soooooo taken!! -

Peachy Keen is a fun, carefree sweet love story. It is book number three in the Desire Resort series. It can be read as a stand alone, but does make small mentions to book number two.
Desire Resort and Spa is that place where you can be whoever you want to be, have fun, and live it up. No expectations. Make all you deepest darkest desires come true. When Georgia decided she needed a break from being the third wheel, constantly over hearing Danielle and Evan's (from Last Resort book #2) sex life. She tells everyone she is off to visit family, keeping her real destination a secret. When she see's Mr. Tall, dark, bearded and sexy she has no idea that the no strings carefree week she had planned is about to have strings, lots and lots of strings.
"I just came here for some fun. The no strings attached kind. And this...this is all kinds of tangled up in strings."
Peachy Keen is a quick fun book. I do enjoy the series and the lightheartedness of the writing. It's fun, it's sexy, it's romantic, it really is a cute read. I look forward to more from Ms. Roth.

This is the third book in the Desire Resort series but you could read it as a standalone. I personally think you should read the previous two, they were awesome. Peachy Keen is about Georgia and Harrison, best friends of Evan and Dani from the first two books. I was drawn in from the first chapter and couldn’t put this book down. I loved the flow of the book and the characters had a connection that I could feel as the reader. I loved Georgia and her fun loving attitude and her ability to approach a hot nerdy guy. (I am a sucker for a guy in glasses) Harrison seemed like a stud from the start and I just wanted to be in Georgia’s shoes! What should have been one hot night with a stranger without sharing names turns into a whole lot of something else. This was a steamy fast read and I highly recommend it.
Characters: The characters were well written and believable.
Sex: oh my god YES
Religious: no
Would I recommend to others: yes
More than one book in the series: yes
Genre: Romance
Would I read more by this author: yes

This lovely story is a sequel to Last Resort and Best Laid Plans, but the lead characters are now Evan and Danielle's best friends. We do get to see the previous couple and learn more of their story, but the focus is firmly on their friends. Georgia, who persuaded Dani to go to Desire in the first place, is sick of hearing her and Evan enjoying themselves and escapes there for some proper unfettered fun. However things may not turn out quite how she expected...
Having read the previous two books, I was delighted to read another in the series, as Ms Roth has a very engaging way of telling a story. It was fun to watch Georgia getting well and truly hooked, even though she really had no intention of getting involved. Harrison was such a lovely character and definitely a wonderful person to have as a best friend. That the two of them had some seriously explosive chemistry, made it a hot as well as romantic read.
This was perfect escapism, thank you Ms Roth. (ps I am betting that I will be saying 'peachy' myself all week!)

Have you ever read an author and fell absolutely in love with her books??? For me, this author is Kate Roth. I love all her books, but I LOVE the Desire Resort Series!!!
Peachy Keen is the story of Danielle's best friend, Georgia. She is the push who made Danielle go to the Desire Resort (and we all know how well that turned out for Danielle!! She landed a movie star!!). Now, Georgia feels she needs something. Her life is a t a standstill and she wants to spice things up. She is bored at her job, her love life stinks, she needs some excitement. Oh and she isn't telling anyone where is going!!
The first day at the resort, she meets a handsome stranger. Throwing causation to the wind she thinks this could be her vacation fling, or maybe a one night kinda thing. When they get to talking... she realizes this handsome guy maybe not really a stranger to her after all!!
I am trying to tell you how awesome this book was, without giving it away. No spoilers from these lips!!
If you loved Danielle and Evan's story, you will love Georgia's too!! Kate really knows how to write a story where you fall in love with the characters. I was so excited when I finished this book, I have to know who;s story is next!! I never want this series to end!! -
Sometimes things in life are just peachy
And sometimes you have to give into desire.
That couldn't have been more true for Georgia Trenton.
Sure, she was happy that her best friend found love, but was getting pretty sick of hearing the bedroom walls shake and needed an escape.
An escape to the exact place her friend found love.
But Georgia wasn't looking for any of that. Just some sun, sipping drinks, and of course mind-blowing sex.
What she got was a hell of a lot more than she ever bargained for.
The one guy who is beyond forbidden and yet is the only guy who can turn her on and make her smile like no one else.
No matter how hard she fights her desires, things have a way of fighting back and the former life that Georgia thought was "peachy" has turned into the craziest roller coaster.
I love Kate Roth's Desire series. She's made me laugh, cry, oh and get really embarrassed on airplanes when people read over my shoulder.
I thought that nothing could top Last Resort, but Peachy Keen takes it all. I love a geeky hero, a fiesty heroine and, of course, a story that makes you fall in love with both. -
*I received a free copy to read & review for Wicked Reads Review Team*
Are you looking for a sweet, laid-back, sizzling summer read?? If so, let me recommend the Desire Resort series!
Georgia is feeling like she's reached a dead end in her life.
She has a job she hates, shares an apartment with her best-friend (who just happens to have fallen in love), and is looking for something different. She's the girl who randomly hooks up and loves doing it, but for some reason - she's tiring of it.
Where should a girl go, when she's tired of life??
You guessed it - The Desire Resort!!!
This was a quick, steamy read. I really liked Georgia, throughout this series she's grown on me. Sassy, sexy, and slightly fearless -Georgia embarks on the journey of a life-time and may just find what she's truly looking for!
-
I met Georgia in Last Resort and was so happy she got her own book. Georgia talked her best friend into going to a sexy adult only vacation resort to let loose and just get laid but instead Danielle found love. So what would Georgia find when she secretly books herself a trip!
I sure was surprised at the turn of events that happened at the resort. Did not see that coming!!!
Georgia is so worried about everyone else that she pushes away what her heart wants the most. God love her she made me want to smack her and hug her at the same. Watching her fight her own feelings so everyone else could be happy was frustrating but watching her story unfold and seeing why she is the way she is made for a great story.
I am so glad I took another trip to Desire resort! because I got one hell of a steamy story with just the right amount of emotional times! -
I have to say that I wasn't sure I was going to like this book because of the cover and the name... but having loved the first book, I figured I'd give it a shot... And I'm more than glad I did.
I LOVED this book. Georgia is the fun loving, wild girl, but the more we learn about her the more we see there is really a lot more going on than initially meets the eye.
The stranger who draws her eye the first night she is at Desire is HOT, even if he is a bit geeky. Boy oh boy is he perfect for Georgia even if she doesn't know his name and he doesn't know hers.
Since I don't want to give away who this lovely man is and where their story goes... I will say that once again Kate Roth blew my socks off with an awesome story with excellently developed characters. I can't wait for more from her.

4.5 stars. I really enjoyed this book!
This series is the perfect read for a hopeless romantic :)

**sigh**
That’s always how I feel when I finish with one of Roth’s books. She’s become one of my go to authors for a reason, and Peachy Keen is no exception.
After witnessing Dani’s successful trip to Desire Resort by way of the loud and frequent bedroom antics between Dani and Evan, Georgia decides to take a trip to the resort herself, to work off some of her frustration with random hookups. It’s on her first night though that she picks up a random, nameless guy whom she has phenomenal sex and an immediate connection to…right up until she finds out his name and exactly who he is.
Fresh from finding the love of his life at Desire, Evan convinces his personal assistant and longtime friend Harrison to take a trip of his own to see if he can kick back, relax, and take some time to himself for once. Sitting in the bar one night with a paperback classic in his hand, he realizes that his vacation is going to take a very different turn when he is approached by a beautiful woman and the promise of a night he won’t forget. But when the connection the two feel goes deeper than a quick roll in the sheets, the two have to come to terms with their own baggage, not to mention the complications that come from just who they are and where they’re from.
Georgia is still suffering from the turmoil at the hands of the dissolution of her parent’s marriage years earlier. She will readily admit that she has never attempted a relationship, instead finding comfort in physical relationships rather than emotional attachments. But what she feels for Harrison is different. The attraction is far more than just physical, it’s the best of both worlds, she has not only a lover, but a friend. Harrison has had committed relationships in the past, however in many ways it was only one-sided. His former girlfriend, whom he nearly proposed to, was very controlling, making the relationship far more similar to the relationship he has with his boss Evan, than that of an emotional partnership.
“It’s kind of a weird situation,” I started.
“It’s a guy!” she barked.
“Fuck, Holly! I know it crushes your dreams, but you do not have a gay brother. Deal with it!”
Georgia’s apprehension to commitment coupled with members of Harrison’s family not exactly being open to the idea of someone that’s not his ex being a part of the family leads to some trepidation on taking the relationship further. Harrison is willing to go all in, but when Georgia finally comes around will it be too late?
“You’re my best friend, too, baby. But it’s more than that. I’m not going to say it over the phone, but when I see you, I need to say something to you…”
I loved her. I fucking loved her. As the line remained silent, my stomach began to churn. I’d scared her. Shit.
“Harry, she whispered and the pounding of my heart in my head went quite for a moment.
“Yeah.”
“I—I’m gonna say it back.”
Roth has consistently delivered smart, sexy, engaging books that feature characters that are so easy to fall in love with. I thought I loved Evan and Dani in the first two books, but Harrison and Georgia…I loved everything about them. The chemistry was hot, the emotional connection was touching, and you just can’t help but root for them. The relationships Roth crafts--not just the ones between the main characters but with the supporting characters as well, brings a cohesiveness to the series that is felt throughout each book. The banter between Evan and Harrison, Harrison and his sisters, Dani and Georgia only further strengthens the ties that they each have.
Peachy Keen is the third book in the series and can be read as a standalone, however I highly suggest reading them in order. -
Before Peachy Keen I had never read anything by Kate Roth, so I didnt know what to expect going in. For me, I'm more of a twists and turns, dark and full of despair kinda a girl. I guess you can call me a masochist. HEY! I've been call much worse! Peachy Keen was the complete opposite and I LOVED it!!
I thought it was light and airy and funny with a wonderfully interesting and sexy plot. It doesn't dwell on their messy pasts but explains when needs as to why it would affect certain situations and then it's gone, which I fully enjoyed.
Georgia LOVES sex and will tell everyone about it. She will go home with a dude, rock his world then kick him to the curb. She's confident about what she does. Never has "feelings about it". Her confidences about herself is what draws you in. Georgia isn't one of those undeniably beautiful girls. She is just one of US that knows what she wants and that particular night she might want YOU... so WATCH OUT!
Harrison is a great guy who is a personal assistant for an A-lister who also happens to be his best friend. This certain best friend is in a loving relationship and kind of wants his assistant Harrison to go "blow off some steam" and travel down to Mexico to The Desire Resort where , basically, singles go down there to MINGLE (mostly naked- haha).
Georgia and Harrison meet, sparks fly without them even realizing it and the res of the story unfolds. loved the fact that Kate Roth puts you right into the story without much of a build up. While you're in it there's no filler, and you live it with both of them from both sides and POVs, which is ALSO something that I love and it's F U N!
If you're looking for a fabulously sexy beach read this summer or one afternoon sitting my your pool (because I really wish I had a pool for some reasons while I read this- maybe add to the vacation theme of the book) then pick it UP! You'll love the good laughs, sarcastic comments, hot scenes and the sweet & sexiness of Harrison as well as an all around really great story you'll find Peachy Keen the book for you!!!
4 out of 5 BLUSHES!!!! -
Follow Georgie on a trip to get away and just enjoy yourself. A woman who know who she is, but secretly wanting more. We all fear that sometimes we can't really have we want. Sometimes our past have us question if we deserve more than what we have so far. Take a fun wild ride with her. Self discovery and knowing there is more to life than what we think. She went for a fun vacation, but found something more.
I found myself so engrossed in the characters and comparing my own personal decisions just like Georgia. We all want to be carefree from time to time, but also have a deal with reality. I loved her owning who she is, but allowing herself to be herself around the one person who didn't judge her for being herself. We all seek that one person who we can be ourselves with and share our dreams knowing they won't judge us.
Her mystery definitely gave her all that and more. He was hot, sexy, but nerdy. I love a manly man that has a soft side he isn't afraid of displaying. I instantly fell in love with him, and you will as well. He is the kind of man who will support you, but not be afraid to tell you the truth. We all need that, and Georgia definitely found someone who wanted her for more than just the sex appeal she oozes. He wanted all of her, good and bad.
This book had it all. The sweet, the hot, steamy, and "ahh" factor. Loved it. Another hit out of the park for Kate Roth. Her stories always have a uniqueness to them that draw you in, and make you see what love can hold when you are accepted for you. -
5 Stars!
Another masterpiece by this author! I loved this book. On the heels of Evan and Danielle's story, now we get the next couple in this series. This book was nothing short of amazing. Sexy, sweet, delicious, naughty, tempting, edgy and funny, this book will have you devouring it in one read and then wanting more once it is over.
This is Georgia's story and what a story it was. Georgia is now headed to the Resort in order to let loose and have some fun. No strings and no commitments. It should be easy as pie but nothing ever is and the man who seems to capture her heart is going to bring a lot of complications. It was supposed to be simple and easy. It was supposed to just be fun. But what happens when the fun runs out and you want more? Do you take a chance or try to walk away?
Holy moly! Smoke and steam.... this book was crazy hot and sexy. Tons of chemistry and smoldering tension between Georgia and her man. I was rooting for these two along the way even when it seemed maybe too complicated or impossible because when you have that connection it is impossible to deny. This author has captivated me since I read book one in this series and I cannot wait to see what she comes with next.
I highly recommend this book.

Lightening strikes twice at Desire Resort and Spa!
This series makes me smile, and this author's stories make me happy. The hook ups and surprises just keep happening at Desire Resort and Spa; and Georgia finally gets her turn at all the fun that the resort has in store. She would have never imaged that after forcing her best friend Danielle to vacation at the adult fantasy vacation spot, that Dani would find the love of her life, who just happens to be a sexy, world famous movie star. It is their constant happiness thrown in her face, that prompts Georgia to try Desire on for size. On the other side of the spectrum, Harrison's boss treats him to a week at Desire to "unwind". Oh, did I mention that Harrison's boss is movie actor Evan Weston, Danielle's boyfriend. Boy is it a small world, and we realize how small when Georgia and Harrison meet for the first time! And that's when things start getting interesting.
This is really a sweet novella, that gives us all the fire and heat that Desire Resort and Spa is known for, while giving us glimpses on how Dani and Evan are progressing in their relationship. This book had just the right amount of steam, angst, romance and fun. I don't know what Kate has in store next, but I'm not ready to see this series end. Please Kate, will you consider more? -
Book 3 of the Desire Resort Series. This is Georgia and Harrison's story with some glimpses at Danielle and Even too.
Georgia takes a trip to Desire Resort after being tired of hearing Danielle and Evan on the other side of her bedroom wall. She's looking to kick back, have fun and pick up a fling or too. What she doesn't expect is for her sexy, geek, one-night stand to be Evan's best friend Harrison, who was sent to the famous resort for a much needed vacation.
Georgia has some issues from her past that make her put everyone else's happiness first and is afraid of love for herself. She can't seem to get her night with Harrison out of her mind and starts forming a great friendship with him. They both feel things they have never felt before with each other.
After returning home, they both realize how much they want each other. With some mishaps and hiding from their friends they manage to fall in love. A crazy Christmas makes Georgia finally see what she's been missing and they come clean to their family and friends.
I loved finally getting to see Georgia's happily ever after and glad it is with Harrison. He's such a sweet, sexy geek and Georgia's carefree ways are a perfect match. I think I love them more than Dani and Evan. -
I was never a fan of peaches, until I read this book!!!
I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. WOW!!! I was a huge fan of Kate Roth because of her earlier books, but Peachy Keen has set the bar so much higher...in my opinion.
This book is flirty, fun, and filled with a love story that will leave you not only breathless, but with a smile on your face.
Harrison Simms...where do I even start??? Kate Roth has created another male lead that you will not only fall in love with, but will hope he gets the girl and his happily ever after by the last page of the book. Georgia Trenton is a woman traumatized by the mistakes of her parents. You meet her and instantly hope that she finds her knight in shining armour. These two are great characters by themselves and make an amazing super-couple together.
This is one book that I could not put down and also wished that it didn't end :) I loved the story and the characters. I highly recommend not only this book, but the author as well!! I cannot wait for what Kate comes out with next!!! -
5 star
I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, pain, secrets and heartbreak.
If you have not read the below I would recommend reading those books(s) first
Last Resort (Desire Resort, #1)
Best Laid Plans (Desire Resort, #2)
Many Times, Many Ways (Desire Resort, #2.5)
This is Georgia’s story. After her best friend goes to adults-only resort and meets the man of her dreams Georgia decides to go and have some fun. She is not telling anyone of her trip. She goes and stumbles across the one man she can’t have. They don’t realize that until after the sparks have them already coming together. Not they need to put each other in the friend zone and try to move on. What if you just can’t stay in the friends’ zone? What if the other person just wants you to be a big secret? Can you work together to overcome your issues and make a go of a relationship?
I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read.
I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the next story from this author. -
When wanting more out of life and being tired of the norm become fun. When spontaneity becomes laughs. When laughs becomes seductiom. When seduction becomes a WTF moment. When that moment becomes friendship. Friendship becomes love and support.
I just described this book in a nutshell but in less detail of what transpired to make it another wonderful addition to Kate Roth releases. Harrison and Georgia complemented each other in a way that was just peachy. His bluntness was what her fear needed but the words of an elder pushed her heart into what it desired. Oh, Evan craziness is in here too.
Another winner courtesy of Desire Resort and Spa. -
This book swept me off my feet. Georgia is the girl next door's best friend. She's brash, loud, and amazing. She's happy for her friend and all, but it makes her re-evaluate her life. When she takes herself on a vacation, she finds what could be her happy ending. That is if she doesn't mess things up. She thinks she only wants to have fun, but fate might have something else planned for her.
Kate Roth does an amazing job building a story. I felt like I was transported into Georgia's life and was right there with her. I'm pretty sure she could be my best friend. This is one of those books that you can read again and again and never get tired of. I loved it!! -
So so much fun! I love the whole desire resort series!!
-
Georgia saw her best friend fall in love at Desire Resort. She is ready for a getaway, as well, so she maxes out her credit card to splurge on a week at the paradise. She is not expecting to meet the love of her life, but she is looking forward to a week of no-strings-attached sex. She starts out exactly as she hopes, having an intense encounter with a stranger she meets at the bar. She doesn’t even know his name, which makes it all the more perfect to start out her crazy week. Except it turns out that he is not a stranger. More accurately, he is the best friend of her best friend’s boyfriend...and she is supposed to be meeting him at his birthday party in a couple of weeks!
Harrison didn’t want to spend a week at a hedonistic resort, but when his best friend gave him a free week at Desire with the instructions to let loose for a few days, he figures that at minimum he can enjoy a few days by the ocean. He fully intended just to sit in the sun and read for a week, but then Georgia walks in and blows him away. The only problem is that afterwards, Georgia decides she just wants to be friends. He wants more, but isn’t sure how to ask for it. And what will happen after their week at Desire is over, and they have to go back to real life?
This is book 4 of a series, but it did really well as a stand alone. I don’t think you need to read the other books to enjoy this book. I liked the characters more than I thought I would, and I liked how the story was about the same resort but different. I would give this book 4 stars. I was asked by the author for an honest review. -
Beautifully written story by the amazing Kate Roth. Her words flow effortlessly and her descriptions are exquisite making the story just come to life right off the pages like a perfectly written symphony!
I didn’t think I could love any book boyfriend more than Evan from the first two books in this series but man did Harrison blow him out of the water.
Harrison and Georgia’s story is a force to be reckoned with. Their fun loving wild nature and their push and pull is perfect for them.
Harrison’s ability to make you swoon is on point and brings the house down with his perfectly timed compliments! -
3.5 Stars
This was Georgia and Harrison's story... Super cute!!! Loved them together even though Georgia's tendency to run got annoying... Harrison was too cute and sweet, loved him...
Again, there was a feeling of insta-love but it worked again for this series! LOL...
