It's summertime, and Robyn is ecstatic that she is able to work with her best friend, Caitlin, at the water park that they always visit. What could be better than a job that revolves around being in the water all day with cute guys roaming around?

Unfortunately for Robyn, her first day at her dream job is more like a nightmare. Unlike Caitlin, who was assigned to Tsumani, the ride that all the older guys go to, Robyn was assigned to work at Splash, where little kids go. Not only that, but it turns out that Robyn's supervisor is Caitlin's annoying older brother, Sean, who always ignores her when she is around.

Her first few minutes at Splash don't seem too bad; that is, until she meets her coworker, Whitney, the girl who thinks she shouldn't be working at all.

The longer she works at Splash the more things begin to change. For one, her friendship with Caitlin begins to strain, and Robyn's initial thoughts of Sean are beginning to wear off. Every time she's around him, she doesn't see the irritating side of him that Caitlin says is always present. But it seems like Sean is interested in Whitney more than he is for Robyn. If only he could see the bad side of Whitney! Besides, even if Sean did have feelings for her, Caitlin wouldn't understand, right?

Robyn is in for the biggest wave of her life. Now if only she is able to enjoy it!

The first in the three-part MAKING A SPLASH series, ROBYN is both adorable and charming. Unlike most characters, Robyn has a strong mind of her own, and grows right in front of us, causing her to be a character that is easy to relate to. ROBYN is the perfect addition to any beach bag!
