Sex on the Beach Book Club [Paperback]

Jennifer Apodaca (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2007

Holly Hillbay is a kick-ass rule breaker with an 80's jacket-sized chip on her sexy shoulder. Want a piece of her? Get in line, pal. What Holly loves most is her job as a P.I. Bringing in pond scum who cheat on their wives makes her day. Like this guy, Wes Brockman, owner of Books on the Beach. Apparently, he's slipping between the covers with another man's wife. Joining Wes' cozy book club is the perfect way to get close to him and expose him for the lying, cheating, pseudo-intellectual creep that he is. He probably wears a turtleneck and a beret. Or not...Problem numero uno: Wes Brockman is one seriously sexy hunk of man who fires up Holly's dormant libido faster than she can say, "I'll take this in hardcover." The guy should come in a home game version. Plus, he's made it clear that Holly's in-your-face attitude is a total turn on. Gulp. Holly doesn't think Wes is having an affair - not yet, at least (note to self: bikini wax...) - but she's pretty sure the mysterious, dangerous vibe he gives off is no act. He's hiding something, and she intends to find out exactly what it is...especially when one of the book club members is found dead in the store's meeting room. Now, with a page opened to secret identities, blackmail, betrayal, murder, and sex on the beach (the drink) and, well, sex on the beach (not the drink), Holly's into a case that is anything but by-the-book and one that's riskier, hotter, and more delicious than she ever dreamed possible...

I enjoy reading this author, so I had to give this new book of hers a try! It is erotic and a good story! Not only is the main character a PI, she is also very independent. When she gets involved with her handsome client, a man of mystery, she finds herself at his beach house helping him rescue a puppy. In the process, she falls in love. There is an unpleasant ex-husband lurking in the background of this story as well as someone seeking revenge. A sense of danger pervades.

This was the first book I read by this author and I really like it. It really did have a little of everything. It was definitely a page turner and it made me try the author's other books.

"Sex on the Beach Book Club" has it all--interesting plot, snappy dialogue, sizzling sex scenes and characters that I really cared about. In fact, I hope Ms. Apodaca decides to do a spin-off or series with some of the book's other characters. I especially hope to see a book between Wes's sister and his best friend. But anything with Holly and her brothers would be hilarious. This was the first of Ms. Apodaca's books that I had read, but now I'm going to read some of her previous books. Enjoy!
