What a sweet, straight from the heart with love, type of story THE RED BIKINI is. Written by Lauren Christopher, this is the best summer romance story I have read in a long time. It makes you feel all giddy inside as you read about the main character's summer that is her jump-start to a new life as a single mom. As I read I couldn't help but think what a fresh start in a sunny summer atmosphere she has and how I wish I could go pack and fly there myself. Christopher made the setting in this novel seem like a paradise that we all would want to go to. Even down to meeting the prince of your dreams.

This romance is about Giselle McCabe who is trying to have a two-week summer break with her daughter after her divorce with her husband. She is looking to find healing and to live for herself again. Then she meets Fin Hensen, a pro surfer who is getting back into his sport after a year of unsettling stories that leave him looking for that next big wave. Except that wave comes in a way he did not expect. With both Fin and Giselle coming from two different worlds with her a little older, can she forget this guy who seems to be living a life she doesn't think she could ever fit into?

THE RED BIKININ has some surprises on the way but leaves you with that warm feeling inside that you get when you finish the best love story ever. Though I must say at times I felt I would cry with heart break over decision Giselle had to make I wouldn't want this story to end any other way! Lauren Christopher made me love her characters and I hope to read more from that sunny side of California.
