Beach Books

I read beach books all year long.  I am addicted.  I am so mentally exhausted by the end of the day that it is just about all I can do.  Last year, for Christmas, J gave me a kindle, and since then my addiction has gotten worse...

See, Amazon often has free books to download, and usually they are categorized as "romance."  I'm not talking about smut...just your typical girl meets boy, boy screws up, boy fixes it, boy and girl live happily ever after type of stuff.  But, it's free, it makes me happy, and it doesn't take all that much thinking :)

So, when Amazon offered one of Jill Mansell's books for free, I thought I'd try it.  You know, pretty cover, contemporary romance, etc.  Sounded fine.  But really, it was more than fine.  It was fantastic!  It took the typical formula and upped it a notch.  There was more depth to the characters, there was more than one story line, and it wasn't all lovey dovey.  So, I searched for more of her books, and lucky for me, Amazon decided to put two more of her books on their "Sunshine Deals" list, so for I was able to get both books for less than $5!

I have read these three of her books so far, and have not been disappointed!  If you are a girlie girl like me, who loves a good beach read, check these out.
