Now in My Bookbag: The Hazards of Sex on the Beach, by Alyssa Rose Ivy

The Hazards Series is written for readers 18 years of age and up. *New Adult* genre. This is Book 3 of 5. As with the rest of the series, this book is written about friends/sorority sisters at Harrison College in Charleston, SC.
“One broken heart, one drink too many, one steamy night in the sand…” Cara is devastated and humiliated by the end of her relationship with Aaron. After one completely reckless night, she feels more empowered, and a little less devastated. Chase is slightly obsessed with finding Cara. He felt a spark between them that night on the beach. Would finding her mend both broken hearts, or would being together mean facing one too many obstacles?
One of the things I really like about this book is the thought and detail put into the character, and personality, of Aaron the Betrayer (this is the name I have given him). Author Alyssa Rose Ivy does a pretty good job characterizing narcissism and obsessive behavior. I wish she had gone a bit further though, thus recognizing the way that those types of people tend to escalate the actions surrounding the obsession and the steps necessary to ensure the safety of that obsession.
So far, this is my favorite Hazards book.I like Cara and Chase. I love the writing style and plot devices. I enjoy learning more about the sisters of Delta Mu. This is a great read. 4.75 stars
