Date Published: June 2014
Savvy Thorpe needs a vacation. Finally finished with college, she heads to her favorite shabby motel on Florida’s Gulf Coast where her aunt and uncle always save her room twenty-four. She quickly finds out, though, that The Gull Motel is not just her home away from home. It’s hers to manage while her aunt and uncle take an extended trip.
Skip McComber, The Gull’s former maintenance man, has been working on Savvy’s nuts and bolts for years. Now the new owner of the bar next door, his mission is to renovate a pirate bar while being a walking temptation for the girl he can’t get off his mind.
For Savvy, keeping her cool running a motel in Florida heat is one thing, but navigating the steamy waters of a former fling takes a whole other kind of savvy. In addition to the motel and the man next door, Savvy stumbles on a plot to swindle land from the residents of Barefoot Key. Devalued properties tumble like dominoes until Savvy musters her colorful crew from The Gull Motel to make the pillagers walk the plank.
Excerpt:
Day four of what I
had planned as a Gulf
Coast
My Review:
It 's a very funny novel, is a compelling and relaxing reading, ideal to read in the summer by the sea. The book is about holidays, flirting hiding a big attraction and there is also a little mystery to solve.
Savvy has to decide her future while she is replacing her aunt and uncle in the direction of Gull Motel. Skip the old boy's maintenance now detected and is renovating the bar right next to the motel. Between Skip and Savvy there was a little flirting but the flame has not yet gone.
It's really well written, the characters are well characterized and are very entertaining especially the staff of the motel
It's a reading fresh and fizzy, the perfect company for a relaxing afternoon
4 stars

Reading books was her favorite escape as a child, and growing up four houses away from the community library encouraged her addiction.

Excerpt:
Day four of what I
had planned as a Gulf
Coast
“Need any help?”
I whipped around,
blood rushing from surprise and something else. Of course I knew the voice.
Skip McComber leaned against the frame of the open shed door. Shirtless.
Wearing low slung jeans and a grin that registered somewhere between caution
and amusement.
He looked like a
man who knew how to run a pool pump. From experience, I knew he could handle a
lot more than that.
“I’m fine,” I
said, trying for cheerful dismissal in my tone. “Just taking a look around.”
“Taking stock of
your new property.”
“Temporary
property.”
“Since it’s your
place now and all,” he said, disregarding my comment, “looks like we’ll be
seeing a lot of each other.”
A mild earthquake
rolled under my sternum and sent shockwaves from its epicenter. Maybe I’d have
better luck with the space shuttle launch pad configuration than I would
handling Skip.
“Temporary,” I
repeated.
He nodded,
continuing to appraise me with his look. Perhaps appraisal was too glamorous a
word. He was looking at me like a cat who’d just opened the bird cage and was
wondering how much fun he could have with the bird.
Skip had been
rattling my cage since we were both sixteen. Every time I came to visit my aunt
and uncle for a vacation, an added perk had been the endorphin boost from their
local boy turned maintenance man. A skinny handsome kid, he had matured every
time I came back to the Gull until he was the full-blown man standing in front
of me.
“I know a lot about fixing things,” he said.
