Southern belle BeBe Loudermilk loses her entire fortune to
a smooth-talking con artist. BeBe consoles herself that she
would not have fallen into Reddy's trap if she'd not been
depressed over her third divorce and stressed out over her
grandmother's bad health. Stripped of home, bank accounts
and jewelry, BeBe can't face her grandparents or brothers
with the disastrous news. The only option open to her is
the broken-down, 1950-era motor court on Tybee Beach.
The beach isn't known for its tourism but for its bars and
fishermen. Determined to make Breeze Inn pay for itself
until she can exact revenge on Reddy, BeBe arrives ready to
remodel. She discovers a motel filled with rust, crud and
Harry, a cranky caretaker. Maxing out her credit cards,
BeBe shops junk stores with Weezie, her best friend, and
nags Harry to do the impossible. When her first paying
guests arrive with minimum trouble, BeBe sets her sights on
her next venture -- revenge. Gathering her odd assortment of
friends, BeBe heads to Fort Lauderdale to con the con
artist.
This sequel to SAVANNAH BLUES (2001) is impossible to put
down as readers never know what outrageous comments or
actions the characters will take. Andrews provides BeBe's
and Weezie's voices in alternating chapters, which gives
added laughs to their sass and antics. Throw in an unlikely
romance between Harry and BeBe, and it definitely becomes
an all-night read.
Southern belle BeBe Loudermilk loses all her worldly
possessions thanks to a brief but disastrous relationship
with the gorgeous Reddy, an "investment counselor" who turns
out to be a con man. All that's left is a ramshackle 1950s
motor court on Tybee Island--an eccentric beach town that
calls itself a drinking village with a fishing problem.
Breeze Inn is a place where BeBe wouldn't normally be caught
dead but, with no alternative, she moves into one of the
units, vowing to make magic out of mud. The work is
grueling, especially dealing with the cantankerous
caretaker, a fishing captain named Harry. With the help of
Harry and BeBe's junking friend Weezie, she soon has the
motel spiffed up and attracting paying guests. Then there's a
sighting of Reddy in Fort Lauderdale, so BeBe puts together
a posse and heads after him.
