He's the hot Italian superstar, adored by millions.


She's the one that got away...


When Romeo Moretti, the most charismatic man Jasmine Hartwell has ever met, offers her a dream job in a paradise location, she hopes it will be a release from her nightmares.


She can't run from the survivor's guilt she carries after a deadly typhoon, but perhaps Romeo's offer will be the perfect distraction? A star-studded climate change benefit concert in the Maldives, living the life of luxury!

However, these two have a history, a mutual desire and deep love that they never dared to explore.

The sexual tension between them only increases as the days pass. Problems escalate when a billionaire sheikh, who is also Romeo's enemy, begins vying for Jasmine's attention.

Now the men are not only warring over their different agendas but also their yearning for Jasmine.

With manipulative people, shocking events, and tough decisions threatening to keep them apart, how can Jasmine and Romeo find a way to be together?

Saying no to their love would be a tragedy, but saying yes could cost them their lives…


* A steamy and action-packed drama of forbidden love *

* Rollercoaster romance but guaranteed HEA *

    A well written story by an Author I have not read before this looks like it is her debut book. I will be watching for more by her. There is a very good storyline and it flows across the pages smoothly with drama, intrigue, and romance. I received an Arc copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    This was an enjoyable book from a first-time author. The characters were interesting and the well-described locations put you on the beach with them. There was drama and intrigue which always adds a great element to any story.

    A good debut with a good storyline.

    Wanted in Paradise is an engaging and suspenseful read and a debut novel from Kate Ashenden. Just enough suspense, twists and turns and some romance thrown in as well. The plot will keep you on the edge of your seat and hold your interest. Can love and a HEA happen in paradise?

    5.0 out of 5 stars An engaging suspenseful read...
    Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2019

    This book was an on the whim grab. I'd seen it for free and wanted to check out the author since I hadn't heard of her before. I'm truly glad I did! It was time well spent reading. I got a great read and added an new author to my list of authors to read.
    So, the start of the book was a bit confusing at first. We have Jasmine writing a letter to her cousin Reyna, talking about dating Diego and her friend (her Diego's brother) Romeo. It confused me for a minute because the blurb implied that it was Jasmine's and Romeo's story. However, the first chapter reveals things and the confusion was quickly forgotten.
    Jasmine has been through a horrible experience when visiting her cousin in the Philippines. Her love for Romeo is known in the very beginning when she thinks he's in the room with her while she's recovering.  However, this moment changed Jasmine. The way she viewed the world. The way she viewed her life. Struggling with PTSD, she tried to find her place in the world. Then she sees a news report about her ex boyfriend and her love interest's brother. She reached out to the man, both out of concern and wanting to offer comfort, but also wanting to see him again.
    When she laid eyes on him for the first time after all years apart, she was almost stunned by the waves of euphoria and love that surged through her.
    When Romeo offered her a job to help him with his benefit concert he was trying to get word out about, and the chance to heal, that's when things really change for her. She's back on an island and a beach. Jasmine had convinced herself it would help her heal. Though, in the back of her mind, she wanted the time with Romeo to see if there could be anything between them.
    This is where the real story begins. The minute they board the plane to the Maledives. There was friction between Rupert, Romeo's publicist, and the staff helping with the concert. Romeo was captivating to watch work but then when they were alone together things got weird. Not in a bad way as in the writing, but as in Jasmine was wanting more and Romeo was avoiding it. 
    This book had me holding my breath several times as things started to go array with the concert site and someone trying to use Jasmine for their benefits. Then there was Rupert who was just plain nasty. I didn't like him from the start. Clive, project manager, was funny. A drunken disaster sometimes but funny. 
    There was a point that I had to set my tablet aside and walk away because the emotions were so intense. The ability to connect to these characters was easily done with the author's writing. I was able to visualize their surroundings (and longed to visit myself). 
    If you're looking for a read that holds you by the heart and gut, takes you through the wringer to the point you yell at them to "Just realize it already!" to an HEA then this book is for you. I loved every moment of this book and will be looking out for more books by this author.

    What started as a day of fun, ended in pain and tragedy. Still suffering the effects of that day Jasmine is dealing with survivor's guilt and loss. While watching a news report Jasmine is reminded of two men from her past, her ex-boyfriend and his brother Romeo who holds a special place in her heart. Though five years have passed Jasmine is compelled to reach out to Romeo during his difficult time. The story takes of from there as Jasmine and Romeo reconnect and form a relationship. There were some behavioural issues on Romeo's part that I didn't like, but added to the realism of the overall plot. Jasmine is a combination of delicateness and strength. Overall an entertaining read.

    I thought from the front cover that this book would just be your typical romance set in a tropical paradise, however a couple of chapters in and I knew I was mistaken. I was really captured by the vivid descriptions of the beautiful locations as well as the well-rounded characters and thought provoking environmental messages. I was really rooting for Jasmine and Romeo and loved escaping to the amazing Maldives to be part of their thrilling love story. I can’t wait to read Kate’s next book.
