Book Information

Book Description:
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 the very classy BeBe wouldn't normally be caught dead but, with no alternative, she moves into the manager's unit, vowing to make magic out of mud. The work is grueling, especially dealing with the cantankerous caretaker, a fishing captain named Harry who's trying to earn enough dough to get his boat out of hock. 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, and BeBe decides to go after him. She puts together a posse, and with the irrepressible Granddaddy Loudermilk snoring in the backseat of the Buick, heads south. The plan is to carry out a sting that may be just a little bit outside the law but that, with any luck at all, will retrieve BeBe's fortune and put the dastardly Reddy in jail where he belongs. And maybe Harry, who's looking more hunky every day, will finally get his boat back.

A very worthy follow-up to Savannah Blues. This time BeBe Loudermilk is the MC. After she gets cleaned out by a con man, she's determined to get her revenge. A wonderful cast of characters and lots of Southern charm make this a very enjoyable book. I loved it!

This book definitely falls into the Chick Lit category, but if you aren't one of those who refuses to read a fun book, you'll really enjoy this one. There's something here for everyone: suspense, humor, and a little romance. A nice, easy, quick read.

Bebe was a successful professional woman until she met Reddy, a good looking, wealthy investor who ends up taking her for almost everything she has. She realizes his con but not until she is left homeless and penniless but finds she still has one meager asset - a dilapidated motel on Tybee Island. Deciding to exact revenge on Reddy, regain her life and reassemble her nest egg, she moves into the motel where encounters Harry, the "rough-around-the-edges" caretaker. With help from her friends and a hesitant, yet handsome, Harry, she begins to make a go of the motel as she hunts down Reddy and her hard-earned fortune. Great story, excellent imagery and must-read to Chick-Lit humor fans.

In this sequel to Savannah Blues BeBe Loudermilk is on an emotional rollercoaster. I laughed, I cried, I got angry, and I cheered her on for her revenge. I also didn't want her to mess up another chance for love. Her friend Weezie brings along her decorating skills and her loyalty to her friend. This is a fun non-stop action read and a quality follow-up. A big thumbs up for this one.

While I enjoyed the story, in this book Andrews would shift view points rather abruptly and it would often take a paragraph or two before I realized we were seeing things from Weezie's perspective. The perspective changes made the book feel disjointed for me.

Excellent book. Great suspense mixed in with strong friendships and of course romance. Some of the characters introduced in Savannah Blues were brought back into this novel. This author does not disappoint in any of the books I have read by her. Don't pass this one up!

I enjoyed the story, it kept me interested with a different kind of "mystery" plot. I don't like the language and won't read any more of the author's books.
Brandy P. (What a fun summer read! Love the feel of the South and the campy characters.
The Breeze Inn is a place where very classy Southern belle BeBe Loudermilk normally wouldn't be caught dead. But a brief, disatrous relationship with gorgeous "investment counselor" con man Reddy costs her nearly all her worldly possessions. The only thing that's left is a ramshackle 1950's motel on Tybee Island, " drinking village with a fishing problem." Relocating to the beach town, BeBe moves into the manager's unit, vowing to make magic out of mud--and with the help of the inn's cantankerous caretaker, Harry, and her Weezie, BeBe soon has the motel spiffed up and attracting paying guests.
But after a Reddy sighting Fort Lauderdale, BeBe drops everything and heads south with her hastily assembled posse--including Granddaddy Loudermilk snoring away in the backseat of the Buick. The sting she has in mind may be a little outside the law. But with a little luck BeBe will get her fortune back, Harry (who's looking more hunky every day) will get his boat back, and Redd will get the prison stripes he so richly deserves.
One of her better books, right behind Hissy Fit. I have enjoyed everything I have read by this witty author. Great summertime indulgence!
A great page-turner. My husband was getting frustrated, because I was reading in every spare minute! I love to read anyway, but I just couldn't put it down, and I didn't want it to end.
