Baewatch: A Standalone Romantic Comedy Kindle Edition

by Xavier Neal (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 210 ratings
See all formats and editions
From the best selling romance author that brought you Hike, Hike Baby comes a brand new, laugh-out-loud comedy about trying not to drown in the trickery waters of love and life ...

Budget cuts.

Beach candy.

Baby stingrays being called baby sharks resulting in momentary mass panic.

All part of the gig for lifeguard section chief, Brooklyn Headley.


Between uncomfortably long work shifts and pineapple infused family meals, life is almost painfully predictable.

That is until Scott "Ax" Maxwell throws her a lifesaver.

Now she's slow dancing to ukulele covers, trying not to fall off surfboards, and engaging in some not so conventional activities between the sheets.

Their fun times, however, meet new waves of trouble when her younger sister unexpectedly needs a specific type of help that Ax is capable of providing.

Can their relationship survive the uncharted, choppy waters ahead, or will Brooklyn be forced back to the boring shore she knows all too well?

I adored it!
BAEWATCH by Xavier Neal is the first book of Xavier's I have read. I adored it! I loved the way Ax and Brooklyn's story unfolded and kept drawing me in. There was a light and carefree side to the book with the way Xavier infused the beachy theme in to the story. I connected with Brooklyn easily. Ax was charming from the get go an Brooklyn never stood a chance to not fall in love with him. There's enough drama that made my heart worry. I wanted to go sit on the beach and eat some pineapple after I finished the book. I'm so excited to read more of Xavier's books. Definitely recommend!

Yes! This story was just what in needed! Brooklyn and Ax are this summer’s hottest and funnest couple. Of course everything isn’t alway perfect, but then again, it shouldn’t be. This book will definitely keep you on your toes. Their chemistry is off the charts.

All the pop culture references did my 80’s and 90’s loving heart good. I smiled or giggled with every reference. They definitely took me back, for a tiny bit, each time.

Everything about this story was fun loving, heartwarming, and nostalgic. If your looking for a great escape, especially these days, you totally need to give it a read!

This is a brand new complete standalone.

Baewatch is a funny, witty, and charming story that follows Ax and Brooklyn. They have a meet cute and it's impossible not to feel their chemistry almost immediately.

As soon as the story opens, you are quickly transported to the beach. The story is engaging and smartly written. This story will have you swooning and laughing out loud. The side characters are just as engaging as the main characters. I also love the easter eggs that Neal is notorious for.

If you are looking for a fun summer read with all the feels, you'll gobble up this story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved Ax and Brooklyn
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2020

I really loved Ax and Brooklyn’s story. It was a true love story and a nice journey to HEA. I liked how Ax just stepped in and ended Brooklyn’s disastrous blind date and she immediately trusted him and started their journey. I loved Brooklyn’s family and how close and supportive they were. I liked how Ax became part of Brooklyn’s family because he truly liked them and felt at home. I’m glad Harrison and April’s relationship changed and Ax finally got the brother he’s always wanted. I liked Ax’s friend and I’m waiting on Flynn’s story for some reason. ( I think he has a good story to tell). Overall I loved how Ax and Brooklyn were honest with each other from the beginning and how they communicated with each other. Ax and Brooklyn knew from the beginning that they had something special and they did everything to keep it together. I loved me some Ax and Brooklyn was just perfect for him. A honest love story that I thoroughly enjoyed and will be reading again.

Xavier Neal's newest book "Baewatch" is another blockbuster.

Ax and Brooklyn are a Hoot.

When I first started this Book, I only got to the first few pages in before I was Laughing Uncontrollably. " Keanu Skeeves" and when Xavier mention a "Pap Smear waxed stuff", I damn near fail out of the chair..

Xavier has written a book about finding that special someone and learning to keep and hold on to that person despite all of the setbacks they face.

Ax is one laid back dude that didn't believe in dating.

Brooklyn was looking for her one true love, but doing it the wrong way with her serial dating of the wrong guys.

One chance meeting with Ax, and loved bloom.

This story was it for me. These two had me in switches and so in love with them both, I was cheering from the sidelines.

Xavier, Love thanks for keeping me entertained in these crazy times we are living.

Can't wait to see what you bring next.

I was sold the second I read the title. I smirked, snickered, and said sign me up. Baewatch is fun and entertaining. It's free spirited and very beachy.

I was thoroughly entertained. The wild conversations, beach inclusion, and family dynamics all keep you on your toes. I am definitely going to be adding more Xavier Neal books to my TBR.

I love Ms Neal's style of writing. But I must say this book had too much "water" reference's. It was try irritating after awhile. And then the way the h forgave every slight that the H did to her was definitely unbelievable for any woman. I stil! love Ms Neal's works, just not this one so much

Loved these characters. Great story. Funny play on Bay Watch with much better characters. You could feel the love in this story. Enjoyed the humor as well. I liked the freedom in Ax's character along with the protection and intelligence. I liked Brooklyn's confidence, intelligence, loving character as well. Good match and good read.

Well written and a nice change of pace from the usual romance tropes. One too many ocean puns and metaphors as well as slightly odd behavior from two people over thirty sort of derailed the story a bit. Oh and *spoiler* a foot fetish - which is not my cup of tea. Overall a fresh and light story. No super alpha behavior, an open communication between the couple instead of drama.

After joining an exclusive matchmaking company, Brooklyn finds herself on a date with the worse kind of man imaginable, and he can’t even remember her name, so when a mysterious strange4 appears to rescue her calling her by name and telling he4 there’s a family emergency, she is a little panicked... until he says it’s her brother, then she realises he’s her saviour, see a Brooklyn doesn’t have a brother, and the gorgeous blonde surfer who just saved her, becomes her new favourite person.

Brooklyn and Axe’s romance has its ups and downs, lots of humour and a great storyline. For a surfer and a lifeguard, what more can you expect than an ocean themed love story where the pair ride the waves. They are soulmates, a connection which begins from the moment they meet, and like the waves Ax rides, their coupling is anything but smooth sailing, but in the end, they will be riding the waves together.

I enjoyed the dynamic between Brooklyn and Axe, I loved the lightness between them, and was happy to see both Ax and Brooklyn own up to their mistakes. A beautiful romance with the best epilogue, my favourite part.

I love Xavier Neal’s stories and this is another great read. The theme of the story didn’t interest me which is why I gave 4 instead of 5 but it’s definitely worth a read. Lots of love and humour.
