Holly Hillbay is anxiously awaiting the next meeting of a
not-so-conventional book club. Named after a tantalizing
cocktail, Holly thinks there must be some reason this
group has chosen such a racy name and she certainly has
every intention of finding out why. Hired to catch an
unfaithful spouse in the act, Holly is revving up to make
an unsuspecting soul's day turn into an absolute living
nightmare. Nothing can top the satisfaction Holly feels
whenever a two-timing loser gets what is coming to him,
courtesy of Holly's superb detective skills of course.
Former cop turned detective, Holly is out to save the
underdog while proving to herself that life may not be
fair, but the strong, like Holly, always do manage to
survive despite the rather unfortunate hand they may be
dealt.
Wes Brockman is a sexy, rough and tough kind of guy with a
big secret to hide. When unexpected circumstances change
the rules of the game, Wes must leave behind his corporate
life and find solace in a book store, of all places, to
protect the one he loves. With an eclectic literary group
full of deception and hidden agendas peppering his life,
Wes must keep on his toes if he wants to remain a step
ahead of the one who is determined to destroy everything
that is so precious to him. Never does he imagine that a
hot, opinionated lady could top his Must-Read list, but
when Holly arrives in his store one day, the need to turn
her pages and uncover her story sends the usually cautious
man into overdrive.
Once again, Jennifer Apodaca delivers an irresistible
novel full of lust, intrigue, and passion that sends her
readers right to the bar to order another round.
Well-written, humorous, and emotional at times, THE SEX ON THE
BEACH BOOK CLUB is the perfect cocktail for a cozy winter
read.
She’s a sharp-tongued, rebel P.I. who eats idiots for
breakfast. He’s a sexy bookstore owner who may or may not
be a womanizing killer. Then again, nobody’s perfect…
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’s 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…
