Beach Dreams (and contest)

Title: BEACH DREAMS
Author: Trish Perry
Publisher: Harvest House Publishers
July 2008
ISBN: 978-0-7369-2446-7
Genre: Inspirational/contemporary romance

Tiffany LeBoeuf has just lost her mother, her job, and her social life in one swoop. Now she’s back in Virginia. The first person Tiffany connects with is a charming Brit – who appears to be working at a pizza restaurant. But Tiffany has had a real bad day, and when Jeremy gallantly changes her tire, she also discovers that he’s taken—by a beautiful blond named Eve.

One of Tiffany’s new friends suggests that Tiffany should go to California and rent this charming beach house that she stayed at on her honeymoon. Tiffany agrees to go, but when she calls, she discovers that the beach house has already been reserved—and she assumes that her friend made the reservations.

But when Tiffany arrives, she discovers Eve is already there. And when Jeremy arrives to surprise Eve, he surprises Tiffany as well. But then a series of events surprise everyone.

BEACH DREAMS is the third book in The Beach House Series. I didn’t have the privilege of reading the first two books in this series, but BEACH DREAMS easily stands alone. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting the beach in San Diego, and envisioning my favorite beach—and cottage—while reading this book.

Tiffany has really had a 100% makeover since the first book I’ve read by Trish Perry The Guy I’m Not Dating. I liked Tiffany, and enjoyed getting to know her and Jeremy in this book. Jeremy is a real sweetheart, a true hero, kind and considerate, even if he is a bit of a klutz.

BEACH DREAMS is my favorite book out of the three I read by Ms. Perry, but all three of her books were good. Don’t miss BEACH DREAMS. It will be the perfect end to a hot summer—even if you are no where near a beach. Discussion questions are included at the end of the book. $12.99. 304 pages.
