Life’s a beach… and then you meet the guy of your dreams.
Flynn Wright’s role on the upcoming teen drama Coconut Cove means a fresh start in the land of crystal water, palm trees, and gorgeous people. The move to the beautiful beaches of Key West, Florida—and away from LA and his conniving ex—is just what Flynn needs.
Meeting sexy bartender Seth is the cherry on top of Flynn’s colorful frozen drink, and he can’t wait to take a taste. But Seth isn’t impressed by Flynn’s Hollywood good looks, nor is he interested in the complications of dating an actor, no matter how hot.
Can Flynn dodge his scheming ex and the eager paparazzi while showing Seth that he is more than a pretty package?

REVIEW:
I love the title of this book. Life’s a beach…. It is just perfect. It really starts out this book in the right way. And of course you get a good sense of how Flynn Wright’s life is going. Coconut Cove is new opportunity and a new location and a new bartender.
Overall this is a sweet book, with a little bit of angst but mostly good story line about ex-boyfriends, new hope and new opportunities. I enjoyed Seth, the surly bartender the most. He was really a good well rounded character who added charm, humour and interest to the story.
The actors in the story where all fine. But mostly I felt like they were pretty faces, without a whole bunch else. They do have some good and bad characteristics to help them out as characters. But a lot is said about their looks.
Poppy Dennison has a very natural writing style that means you don’t even notice the passing of words because you are in the story, travelling along with those characters who inhabit the pages. I have always enjoyed the way she crafts words.
Overall this book was great for a quiet evening, with a glass of wine. I enjoyed the evening I spent with Flynn and Seth. I went away smiling and feeling happy. And I think that is a great way to leave a book.
