"Hot time, summer in the city. Back of my neck getting burnt and pretty."
Any body else remember that old Lovin' Spoonful song?? Hee hee. I'm showing my age, I know.
When I was younger and a sun worshiper, I lived for the summer days I could take a few hours at my local beach, soak up some rays, and read without any interruptions or worries. Back then, my beach reads were mostly comprised of the newest Jackie Collins, Kathleen Woodiwiss, or Nora Roberts book that happened to release in the summer season.
The hours of escapism while sitting in the sun were marvelous and made me truly know the definition of BEACH READ; fabulous heroines meeting hunky heroes and engaging in adult behavior ( read :SEX) while escaping from danger, or trying to solve the world's problems.
Hey, it's not called escapist fiction for nothing.😉
Nowadays I shun the sun like Lestat because...wrinkles.
But I still enjoy a great book that can be classified as a beach read. And hey - I even write them now. LOL.
One of my favorites that I've penned has just gone on sale for only 99cents.
IT'S A TRUST THING tells the tale of Nell Newbury, one time Park Avenue darling, whose father - a Madoff devotee - bilked people out of billions. The notoriety almost killed Nell's mother and made the young girl grow up fast. Nell runs her own company now, keeps out of the public eye, and isn't looking for love.
And then she meets a handsome economics professor who knows nothing about her and who makes her toes go numb with just a glance.
Do you like to read at the beach? Or on a boat? Or sitting in the park on a lovely summer day?
Take IT'S A TRUST THING with you the next time you go. You'll have a fun time reading it. One of my reviewers called it a "RomCom with angst, a klutzy heroine you can't help rooting for, and redemption."
That about says it all. Hee Hee

Theoretically, I love reading on the beach...or anywhere else. In practice, I'm best in my recliner, with something to drink and something to eat beside me. I'm also a fan of reading at the table if I'm eating alone. Any table. :-)
