Visit Sunshine Beach with Wendy Wax!

It is time to catch up with the ladies of Ten Beach Road.  This series started with book one Ten Beach Road. The four ladies found one another:  Avery, Nicki, Maddie, and Kyra as victims of a Ponzi scheme.  Their story continues in this next book four Sunshine Beach by Wendy Wax.

Synopsis:

Kyra and Dustin have a home at the Ten Beach Road house.  Stephanie is finally starting over since the divorce with Will the rocker.  Avery is still grieving over the loss of her mother Deirdre the interior designer.  Nicki and FBI agent Joe are progressing in their relationship.  What will their next renovation project be?  Kyra and Dustin stumble onto this hotel on the beach.  This would be their biggest renovation project yet.  Maddie’s ex-husband Steve appears for a visit with thoughts of reclaiming his wife.  Will he be successful?  Who will be Deirdre’s replacement?

My Thoughts:

I loved this novel!  It was great to catch up with the characters that I have gotten to know so well, in the previous book.  Readers can pick this up series with this book or start at the beginning with Ten Beach Road.  Sunshine Beach can stand alone.   There is not much mentioned in it about the renovation of the hotel.  In other words because of the story the physical work was not as documented as usual.  I loved the twist in the plot with bringing back Steve the ex-husband.  

A mystery is also associated with the story.  This mystery surrounds the hotel and its past, and the family that owns it.  The two sisters that own it are not sure they want to renovate.   It adds a nice flavor to the story.  One readers will find very interesting.

The next Ten Beach Road novel is One Good Thing.  You can preorder it now.

Rating:


4.5/5

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
