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!

This is a fabulous book. I bought this book because I love Jennifer's mystery series. I was not disappointed. A bit of chick lit, romance, sex, murder ... it's all here.

In Goleta, California, private investigator Holly Hillbay enjoys her vocation especially when she can kick the butt of a cheating male though realistically the money is in the tedious background checks. Currently she is frustrated with men ever since her former fiancé Brad the cad stole her best paying client from her. So she plans to fully take pleasure in exposing cheating Wes Brockman, owner of Books on the Beach. Her client Phil Shaker believes his wife Tanya is sleeping with Wes using the book club as a pretense.

Holly goes undercover by joining the book club, but quickly concludes the hunk is not doing it with his client's spouse though she might be cheating with one of the other members like Cullen. She also believes Wes is hiding something so unable to resist she makes inquiries into his secret while her chip on her shoulder (and the rest of her body) demands a tryst with him on the beach. She also begins investigating Cullen even as the case spins out of control with a homicide in the bookstore ending the cheating Tanya's extramarital affair.

This is a terrific private investigator romance that is fun to read as in your face Holly takes no prisoners while trying to uncover the truth that seems to keep twisting on her (and the audience) with every clue she uncovers. The story line is fast-paced and filled with red herrings. Though Holly's abrupt manner can be irritating as we got the message except if you are Wes, fans of romantic mysteries will appreciate this fine tale that starts with WICKED WOMEN WHODUNIT and never slows down until the final on the beach encounter.
