Synopsis from Goodreads:
Everybody dreams of a Hawaiian Vacation…
They sell you on the drinks with little umbrella’s, dolphin watching, and long walks on the beach. Which probably happens, if you’re that lucky schmuck living out your dream with your destination wedding, but if you’re a fish out of water PI like me, there’s no time for relaxing because trouble is never far behind.
Instead of cocktails, I ended up dealing with the seedy underbelly of The Big Island.
And, I didn’t see one damn dolphin while undercover on a boat which was spilling over with drug dealers, Kingpins, and Pedophiles.
Elin and Elena think Cade's family are the coolest people outside of Snapchat, but it’s hard to meet the parents when your boyfriend is in his late thirties and has never had a serious relationship.
I’d never missed my girls so much in my life, but Amy May, Bea, and Carmen are all dealing with issues of their own, and can’t come to my rescue.
The only thing that may help me with this “vacation” is if I could get Lei’d with Cupcakes.
WARNING: THIS BOOK CONTAINS FOUL LANGUAGE, SEX, SOME VIOLENCE, AND SHENANIGANS. IF NONE OF THAT BOTHERS YOU, GRAB A CUPCAKE AND READ ON!
This was another really great book by Bethany Lopez. Lila and Cade are back in all their wonderfulness, and this time, Cade is taking Lila and her kids to meet his parents. I love that this series isn't your typical romance. Things are a bit fun and crazy at times, but the love and friendships (and cupcakes!) are what make this story so unique.
This book also has some drama and suspense, and being in Hawaii doesn't stop Lila from finding trouble. Or does it find her? Either way, she can't not help when someone Cade loves is in trouble, so off to the rescue she goes. When things go south, Lila finds herself in over her head.
I really liked Cade's parents. They were pretty laid back, and I enjoyed how welcoming they were to Lila and her kids. And, of course, I love me some Cade. It's pretty simple - he's hot and he's awesome. What's not to like? I did miss Lila's girls this time around, but hopefully we'll get more of their stories in the future.
Overall, I really enjoyed reading Lei'd With Cupcakes. This was a really quick read and a great addition to the series.
