In A Stranger On The Beach Caroline finds her perfect life, complete with a lavish beach house, completely turned upside down. When she meets a handsome young stranger she finds solace in his comfort, but eventually does it become something more? The story flips back and forth between the two conflicting views of Caroline and her young new lover and leaves you questioning what is real? Is Caroline madly in love with this man who is only trying to protect her or is there something more ominous going on with him? This book held my interest on every page and definitely surprised me in the end. You think you have it figured out, but you have no idea.
We Came Here to Forget
Andrea Dunlop
We Came Here To Forget is the perfect beach read for this scorching summer. Katie seeks an escape to Buenos Aires after her life is completely blown apart. The only thing she knows is that she wants to be far away from anybody who might know her or the drama and scandal that ruined her high profile career. When she signs up for a class to learn the tango she is surprised to find a group of people just like her who came to Buenos Aires to escape their own demons and tragedies. Andrea Dunlop writes an inspiring story in We Came Here to Forget that teaches all how to rise above the ashes and learn how to put the pieces of our lives back together and that no matter what we are going through, there are people just like us who would love to just forget, but in the end have to do the work to heal. I highly recommend this fun yet touching story of adventure and life lessons.

Step into the glamorous 1950's after the second world war and look a little deeper into some unfortunate events at the hands of McCarthyism that targeted innocent members of the Broadway scene.

When Hazel finds herself at the eclectic and lively Chelsea Hotel and meets one of it's most influential residents she is quickly tasked with delivering her play to this woman by the end of the night. From there things move quickly as her play is called brilliant and set to open on Broadway just a few short months later. She hits a temporary snag when her old friend Maxine, now a young Hollywood actress, drops in and somehow scores the leading part- much to Hazel's hesitation. Maxine is a wonderful actress, but is far from being right for the roll. Hazel has no idea that this is the beginning of a series of mistakes that will decide her future. What secrets and lies are being told that mark the undoing of not only the play, but Hazel's career? Will Hazel have the last word?
