Christy is broke. She had to drop out of college in her last semester when her parents house caught on fire and they (the parents) died. She lost everything because her parents let their insurance lapse. Since then she has been struggling financially. Her grandpa lives in a facility in FL and his money is running out. He will have to go on Medicaid and move to a facility that accepts (this wasn't said, but this is what would happen in "real life." It can be difficult to find a facility that has an open Medicaid bed).So, Christy decided she just needs to find a rich guy to solve her and her grandpa's financial issues.
She meets Jack when she asks him to kick open her door to get ready for one of those rich guy dates (yes, that happened). What follows becomes a friendship that gradually transitions to lovers. While I didn't like Christy's goal to hook-up with rich dudes, it was a bit different from the regular contemporary romance trope. Her reasons weren't completely selfish and she was a likeable character.
Jack was burned before, so he isn't honest with Christy about his real financial situation (yes, you are correct if you guessed he has money). What follows is some angst, talking, angst, more talking.
This book's strength is the secondary characters. Charlie- the grandpa, Reece and Fifi (the motel owner and his pet iguana), Fletcher (his wife left and he believes she will return).

Coral Cove. What a wonderful place to live. This story had some very interesting characters that I found myself liking right away. It's a cozy story with a bit of love on the horizon and a couple you'll be rooting for attraction to happen to bring it all together. This is the first in the Coral Cove series. It's a smooth fun read and yup, i'll probably look for book two.
