Digital audio read by Isabel Keating
Three women who’ve been besties since kindergarten are each at a crossroads. Ellis was recently fired from her job and is now wondering if she’s made the right choices in life. Julia is a successful model but can barely hide her deep insecurities and is afraid to accept the love of a good man. Dorie is the Southern belle whose never had a problem attracting men, but her husband has just betrayed her, and she can’t face the decisions she needs to make. They rent a beach house on Nag’s Head for a month of rest and relaxation. Enter Maryn / Madison, who is running from a dangerous man and needs a place to hide. Add a sexy landlord, Ty, who lives in the former maid’s quarters over the garage.
This is a fun, quick-read book with a lots of girl talk, some romance, and a few twists and turns to keep things interesting. The bad guys will be vanquished. The good guys (and girls) will find success. And everything will end with a beautiful sunset and/or a rainbow. It’s not great literature, but it’s a perfect beach read. Grab some iced tea (or a mojito), your sunscreen and a beach chair and enjoy.
Isabel Keating narrated the audio version. She does a fine job. She sets a good pace and mostly keeps the many female characters distinct enough to not confuse the listener.

Great summer read. A little predictable, but I enjoyed it. I just want to know why things like that only happen in books.

This was a nice and intriguing book. It had its lows, romances, and of course your bad guy.
