Sunshine Beach

By: Wendy Wax

Narrated by: Amy Rubinate

In this brand-new summer read by the USA Today bestselling author of The House on Mermaid Point, three women join forces to bring a historic seaside hotel back to life…

There’s nothing that a fresh coat of paint and a few glasses of wine can’t fix…

After losing their life savings in a Ponzi scheme, Maddie, Avery, and Nikki have banded together to make the most of what they have left, using their determination, ingenuity, guts, and a large dose of elbow grease. It’s Maddie’s daughter Kyra who stumbles across a once glorious beachfront hotel that has fallen into disrepair. The opportunity to renovate this seaside jewel is too good to pass up—especially when they come up with the idea of shooting their own independent television show about the restoration. What could possibly go wrong?

Everything. With the cameras rolling, Maddie’s second-chance romance with her all-too-famous new boyfriend gets complicated, Avery struggles with grief over the loss of her mother, and Nikki’s reluctance to commit to the man who loves her could leave her to face the biggest challenge of her life. Even the hotel seems to be against them, when their renovation uncovers a decades-old unsolved murder which just might bring their lives tumbling down all over again…

C' mon Nikki!

I got so impatient with her whining and lack of trust in Joe both personally and professionally. I guess these 'conflicts" are to move the story along,, but such strong lack of good judgment is not entertaining to me. Love Dustin!

Another Hit!

The characters, the great narrator, the storyline

What does Amy Rubinate bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The ability to capture individual personalities and make them believable

Any additional comments?

Some have commented that this Book4 of the series didn't quite make the mark. I thorough;y enjoyed it as much as the others and loved the mystery of the sisters. It finished up a tad too quickly for my liking but if there is a Book 5 to come then I understand.

cliffhanger!

unfolding story touches the heart! love the ins and outs of the problems that arise for the do over crew!

Nice to be updated on all.

I enjoyed #4 in the series, although this was less about renovation and more about the ongoing relationships that everyone has. And an old unsolved mystery of a murder. I would have liked a little bit more resolution at the end, but that's just me!

Narration of the book was excellent.

Happiness

Love the story. I could barely stop listening. It is so entertaining and so real . It is a great summer read I could not wait to start again. Starting next in series now!
