Read Bella Key Storyline:

Maddie Jacobs must be crazy. At least that’s what her mother thinks. Professionally, she’s confident and secure; personally, she’s a hot mess. Not even a marriage proposal from a man who adores her can quell her search for something more.In need of an escape, Maddie flees to Key West’s most southern island, Bella Key, to rest and recharge at Casa Bonita. She almost gives up on the weekend retreat when the Bed & Breakfast is closed for repairs until Sunny Rojas, the inn owner, extends an offer of friendship, sweet tea and a room. Still reeling from a breakup with her longtime partner, Sunny is thankful for the diversion from her own broken heart.The arrival of a fierce storm forces the women’s emotional journey to a head and leads them into each other’s arms. But can Maddie throw her hangups to the wind and go with her heart? The magic of Bella Key teaches her that passion cannot be placed neatly into boxes labeled right and wrong, because love knows no boundaries.ReviewBella Key is an AllRomance eBooks bestseller.Characters were phenomenal, imagery was beautiful, and the writing was fantastic. Even though it was a novella, I never once felt the author was rushing things to get a point across. The scenes were deliberate and well thought out. All in all, if you're looking for a quick read, that's packed with steamy and amazing escapades, this is the story for you! I will say, this was my first female/female perspective on a lovers and I couldn't be more pleased. Scarlett has opened me up to a whole new world of sizzling hot reads, and I can't wait to see what she comes out with next. ~ The Reading Vixens Recommended Read from Harlie's Books: I can not tell you how much I loved Maddie and Sunny's story.  Well written, sensual and sweet.  These are two women that I would definitely be friends with and love to hang out with on a daily basis.  Ms. Chastain has written two completely developed characters for such a short story.  Their actions and reactions to each other are honest and heartfelt.  Nothing is rushed and handled in a very delicate way that sex that they do have is sensual, non threatening and yes, sweet. I recommend this book highly to readers who like good romanerotica, aka erotic romances, especially female/female erotica with a terrific romance. This story offers everything. ~ Author, Tracy Riva Scarlet Chastain did such a wonderful job creating this world.  The entire novel, although short, was written without a lot of uninteresting filler.  Bella Key also contained the right amount of background information so the reader is never lost.  Excellent novella. ~ Sapphyria's Steamy Book ReviewProduct DetailsFile Size: 255 KBPrint Length: 46 pagesSimultaneous Device Usage: UnlimitedPublisher: Evernight Publishing (May 2, 2013)Sold by: Amazon Digital Services, Inc.

June 7, 2013By Angels R Kids/FurkidsFormat:Kindle EditionWhen Maddie decides to do something very unlike her and skip her flight back home from a business trip and instead take time off of work and go on a vacation on the fly to Bella Key, she never knew it would change her life forever. Maddie loves her job, but she is running away from her personal problems of a mother who keeps reminding her of her "biological clock" and a man who would love nothing more than to marry her but she feels nothing for. When she finds Sunny's Bed and Breakfast, which looked so good online, is closed she is disappointed, but willing to move on....after she asks Sunny if she can use her bathroom that is, it's been a long ride with lots of caffeine. Sunny senses something in Maddie and ends up asking her if she wants to stay anyway at her B&B, as long as she doesn't mind the kink of no air conditioning which is why she closed up in the first place. Maddie stays and falls in love with Bella Key...all of it...the view, the people, the weather, and maybe even someone she shouldn't fall in love with. Can Maddie overcome her fears of love and who she should love? Who really is the "right" person to love? Shouldn't it be about the feeling of love and not who the person is?I absolutely loved this book! I was unsure going into it how I would feel about it or how I would like it, being it is not my "usual" read, but I am very glad I decided to give this book and author a chance!! Most erotic romance books are all about the erotic love scenes, but this one was different. It had those scenes, don't get me wrong, but they were done with more tact than others I have read. Also, the book was not only about the erotic scenes, but also had a point to the plot. It was very well written and very well expressed.... Most erotic reads you get the erotic scenes and maybe a plot, but hardly any character development. I know that's not what they may be read for usually, but it is nice to have those things. This author seemed to really get this and did a fantastic job with it! There was a plot that made sense, there were characters whom I came to love, and there was the eroticness to the read too that you would expect from an erotic read. I just loved everything about this book! Great job to the author and I hope to read more of your work in the future!! Perhaps even more with these same characters down the line? Hint hint. :-)5/5 Stars!!!Free via author for honest review.

Bella Key is a very realistic and classily written erotic romance that's a definite must read for all fans of the genre.The pressure is on for Maddie. It always is. Between work, her personal life and her mother's constant reminders of life and the ticking clock. She needs a break! Being spontaneous and just going for it she decides on a mini vacation where she meets Sunny. The sweet and sexy B&B owner and has a blast. She's also made a couple of new and exciting discoveries which I'll keep to myself. You all are just going to have to read to find out :)Scarlet Chastain is off to a great start in her writing career. She created some very likeable characters and settings with an original and entertaining story. I plan to keep my eyes open for more of her work.

I bought this book from ARe when it first came out but didn't get it read until a couple days ago. I'm wishing I had read it sooner! The author was able to fill the book with humor, emotion, and character growth which is not easy to do in a short book but she did it so well. I will be reading more from this author for sure!

The friendship and chemistry between Maddie and Sunny is adorable and even the secondary character Jules was just a hoot. Besides the characters, the writing alone was great with a wonderful balance of storyline to romance. It's a short read, and yet we still get a sense of who the characters are, what they're about, and feel the sparks blossom between our two leading ladies.I will say I would have liked to see a little more of the closure on a few things in Maddie's life that are addressed as well as gotten to know a little more about Sunny's history since we focus mostly on Maddie throughout the story. That being said, the entire book is compelling and endearing.Bella Key is a sweet and sensual romance about accepting one's self and living one's own life instead of fitting into some mold. It's a read that will have you wanting to take a Florida vacation to the Keys!I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

When Maddie takes a quickie vacation to Bella Key, she has no idea that her life is about to change forever, and her secret fantasies are about to come true.Chastain does a beautiful job of creating the chemistry between two women. There's an easy friendship and connection, tinged with plenty of sexual longing and desire. It isn't long before Maddie and Sunny act on their growing feelings for one another, resulting in beautifully written, sensual and passionate love scenes.The story itself is entertaining and engaging, with a dash of humor, plenty of romance, and just enough conflict: brought on by Maddie's questioning of her own desires and sexual identity. The setting is beautiful and magical, a place where people go to find contentment and their true selves. People like famous romance author Jules Quigley, whose character I absolutely adore, and just so happens to hold the key to Sunny and Maddie's future. A lovely HEA tops off a story to be enjoyed by all romance fans." `Feelings and emotions can't always be placed neatly in little boxes. Straight and gay are simply labels we place upon ourselves. Happiness is what we all strive for. Open your mind to what and who makes you happy.'

The characters are charming and the setting will make you believe you're on vacation too. Maddie wants to get away and have a real vacation. Instead of waiting to plan something, she takes a detour on her way home from a business trip. From there, the story will simply romance you.The sexual tension is sweet and exciting and the side characters are entertaining. I was completely charmed by Maddie and Sunny's story and I felt the vulnerability Maddie showed as she put herself out there. I very much enjoyed this book and I'm looking forward to the next Scarlet Chastain book.It's a fun and sexy read. Not to be missed.I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest and fair review.

May 8, 2013By Ursula AveryFormat:Kindle EditionI really enjoyed this story. It is a great read about a woman who is at a sort of crossroads in her life. Needing to make changes but not sure what direction to take. I think we can all relate to that. I wish all my spur of the moment decisions turned out as well as they did for Maddie. There is plenty packed into this wonderful short story. I really felt like we got a sense of who the characters were and of course the setting played a big part. This taste of the ongoing party-like atmosphere of the Keys is making me want to take a vacation. I felt like I was about to step on the beach while reading.The romance between Sunny and Maddie was a joy to experience. I was rooting for them. All the uncertainty of making life changing decisions was right there on the pages. I think what really made this story, besides the main couple of course, were the added little details of life on the Keys and the delightful addition of a character named Jules. Even in a short story like this, I really felt like I was part of the community and there was Jules. The perfect addition to create a much needed catalyst to help some people make some decisions. Plus he was just awesome. I can't explain it, other than great writing, but he really struck me.After I got done reading, I was amazed at how much story was packed into this Romance on the Go. I have to say, that in the past, I have not been a huge fan of short stories but I have long since changed my tune. Ms. Chastain, and other wonderful Evernight authors, have proven: done right, a short story can be just as satisfying to read as a longer novel.
