Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hawaii Romances contains three complete Hawaii contemporary romance novels by international bestselling author Devon Vaughn Archer, including Aloha Fantasy, Pleasure in Hawaii, and Private Luau; along with a complete romance short story, Passions on Maui. ALOHA FANTASY Award-winning photographer Danica Austin seemingly has it all in Chicago with a successful career, beauty that is the envy of other women, and a close-knit group of friends. But with her love life going nowhere fast, when her old college roommate Ashlyn Hirokawa suggests they swap houses for a month, Danica jumps at the chance. The fact that she would be spending four weeks on the Big Island of Hawaii was incentive enough for Danica. The minute her plane touches down in Hilo, Danica can't wait to check out the social scene and photograph some breathtaking sunsets. But when her friend's hunk of a Pacific Islander half-brother and wealthy real estate investor Boyd Reed comes into focus, Danica suddenly has a whole new reason for exploring the island and romantic adventure. Sharing passion under tropical skies is making Boyd believe in the island's power of love. But Danica's not sure she wants to make Hawaii her permanent home, in spite of its obvious allure. It will be up to Boyd to persuade her to spend the rest of her days and nights with him in their one-of-a-kind island paradise. Swapping places and discovering love has never been more fun and romantic! PLEASURE IN HAWAII After adjusting to life after a divorce, Gene Malloy is finally ready to move on. And he just may have found the ideal woman to make him forget the past and focus on the future. From the moment Gene rescues Sloane Hepburn from a rogue wave on the beach, she makes his most passionate fantasies come true. With her sultry beauty and lively spirit, Sloane is turning the Maui Bed & Breakfast owner's world upside down-and he loves every minute of it. Relocating to Hawaii was a big step for the overextended, career-minded Sloane, after getting a promotion at the posh hotel chain she worked for. But she gets more than she bargained for with hunky, seductive, and sexy Gene romancing her under a tropical island sky. Sloane begins to believe that destiny is at work. But can professional rivals truly turn sparks into flames and passion into something much more lasting? If you love the breathtaking experience of Hawaii and love romance fiction, you will enjoy this entertaining and touching story from beginning to end.

Book excerpt: KC Santana has one rule: She will never EVER get her heart broken again. ---------- After a tragedy forces her to escape her home and leave behind everything she's ever known, KC has to start over as the new girl in town. Now she is living on a Pacific island off the coast of Hawaii. It's a tropical paradise, for everyone except her. The last thing she is looking for is another guy. She's been burned too many times before. But charming, single dad Marlowe "Lo" Gambon seems determined to change her mind. Because Lo's like no one she's ever met before. Not cocky. But carefree. He might be just the man to handle a straight-laced, by-the-book woman like her. KC strives to keep things platonic. But when an earthquake shakes up their strictly business relationship, everything changes. She realizes she wants to be more than just friends. Even though they come from two different worlds, she can't ignore the feelings he stirs up inside her, after she was certain that her heart was closed to love. She throws caution to the wind and pursues a relationship with the sweet dad raising two 10-year-old twin girls. The closer they all grow, the more KC realizes she might finally have a chance at what she left behind: a real family. Until a political crisis divides the island and threatens the safety of her new home. KC finds herself and Lo on opposite sides of a decision that could put her life in danger. She didn't expect to fall in love with him. She didn't expect to have her whole life turned upside down. She refuses to admit Lo is exactly the man she wants, no matter how much she craves him.Yet she can't deny their chemistry. But can she trust him with her heart? KC knows her life is not a fairy tale. But could Lo be her Prince Charming? Will she find her happily ever after? ********** A full length standalone, romantic comedy with strong, yet vulnerable, kinda geeky heroine, a confident hero, and a happy ending with a cliffhanger. HEA. rom-com. LOVE AT A LUAU is a nerdy romance, a geek girl romance, a science fiction romance, a contemporary romance, a multicultural interracial Asian Latina romance! This funny, beach read is one-of-a-kind romance that refuses to fit in one box. ********** Also available on Kindle.

This book was released on 1959-01-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A valuable library addition for either a folklorist, a linguist, or an ethnologist." --Western Folklore "The stories in this book are reprinted from Volumes IV and V of The Fornander Collection of Hawaiian Antiquities and Folk-lore, published by the Bernice P. Bishop Museum in 1917, 1918, and 1919. They include some of the best-loved of Hawaiian stories, and the collection is probably the most important work on a traditional subject ever published in the Hawaiian language.... In the 1860s and 1870s, Abraham Fornander, circuit judge of Maui, employed several Hawaiians to seek out learned Hawaiians and write down their stories. The collectors included S. N. Kamakau, S. Haleole, and Kepelino Keauokalani, each of whom has made important contributions to our knowledge of the old culture." -from the Introduction
