Tilly Snapp is, in her own words, sensible, practical and professional. A 26-year-old widow who writes a syndicated column, she likes her life as it is: safe and uncomplicated. Then her Aunt Ginger, who definitely did not live a safe, uncomplicated life, dies and leaves Tilly all her worldly goods, including an antique sex toy that may have gotten her killed.
When sexy Interpol agent Will Maitland enters the picture looking for the antique, he sets off feelings Tilly never knew she had -- scorching, hot, amorous feelings. But is he really interested in her, or is she just another case to him?
I enjoyed IT HAPPENED IN SOUTH BEACH very much. It's a humorous look at life in South Beach, Florida, and a love story with a bit of mystery thrown in -- what else do you need for a lively escape from the hum-drum? Tilly is delightful, Will is drop-dead sexy and the supporting cast is eclectic, to say the least. A very good read.
The Skinny:
If she's a beauteous, bodacious babe, gettin' down, gettin'
it on, gettin' her man, she's definitely not good old Tilly
Snapp. So what's the safe, sensible twenty-six-year-old
Bostonian doing in Miami's ultra-hip, super-chic South
Beach, where the rich and famous go to gape at the rich and
famous, hip-hop rules, and the poodles wear Versace?
She's on the trail of the fabled Pillow Box of Win Win
Poo--the most valuable collection of antique erotic
"accessories" in the world. And she's after the fiend who
murdered her eccentric Aunt Ginger. And while Tilly might
not know the difference between a velvet tickle pickle and a
kosher dill, with the assistance of the unnervingly sexy yet
maddingly unhelpful Special Agent Will Maitland of Interpol,
she's about to get a crash course in sex-ed on everything
her juniour high health teacher forgot to mention.
