Sometimes when you’re trapped in a heat wave you need to read a book where the characters are even hotter

Sunset Beach by Mary Kay Andrews

July 20, 2022 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

CBR14Bingo: Scandal My second Mary Kay Andrews book and another satisfying summer read. Andrews writes a fun mix of romance, family drama, and mystery, all of which combine to keep the plot moving at a fast pace. I noticed that a lot of the chapters were three pages long, which also added to the zippy feel of the book.

And […]

How come my home renovation never goes this smoothly?

May 11, 2015 by Lynn Leave a Comment

Mary Kay Andrews is one of those authors who I’ve read a couple of times and enjoyed in a breezy, beach book kind of way. I liked Savannah Blues and Savannah Breeze, but I’m left feeling a little ambivalent about The Fixer-Upper. Perhaps it’s because I listened to it as an audio book and didn’t much care for the reader, or perhaps it was just too long. Either way, it filled the gaps in my time during my commute and during my walks, but I […]
