Really funny romance!

I've been following this whole series of books about kooky people in a small beach town in Florida. All of them, including this one, are wonderful. Try out Paradise, and have a good laugh!

Back to the Beach for more fun in Paradise!

Sue Civil-Brown has done it again, taking us back to wacky Paradise Beach, Florida, for a wild ride with fun characters old and new.Derek Peter Todd, known as Derek Diche to his millions of television-viewing fans, has spent years traipsing around the world, first as a news correspondent and now as the host of his own mystery-debunking TV show broadcast from his home in England. While taking a break to visit his aunt, Mary Todd, in Paradise Beach, Derek hears there are Godzilla-sized footprints on the beach and rushes to the scene to capture the story.Police Officer Samantha Bartlett is anything but pleased when the townspeople of Paradise Beach appoint her as their liaison with a burned-out, British reporter, even if he is the nephew of her good friend, Mary. But she's stuck with their increasingly irritating--and exciting--connection, when a giant egg is found on the shore the day after the Godzilla prints, and Derek calls in a camera crew. In the midst of alien abductions, FBI shenanigans, and matchmaking plots by Derek's aunt, Sam and Derek are constantly thrown together, discovering in the process the most fantastic mystery of all--the unpredictable magic of love.Highly recommended for those who enjoy a rollicking read! The crazy characters and nutty events will have you in stitches.

Couldn't put it down

I love this book. I've only bought it yesterday and I've already read it twice. Something about it just draws you in. Highly recommended!

Could not stop laughing!!!!

This book was so funny, I simply couldn't put it down, and I couldn't stop laughing. The Caracters were interesting, and it was good to see old Paradise, FL favorites, like Miss Mary Todd and her Hole in the Seawall Gang, and the DustBuster Brigade, who discover seamontster footprints in the prologue. The hijinx only gets worse from there, as Miss Mary concocts all inds of ways to keep her nephew, a prefessional phenonenon debunker, and Officer Sam Barrett together. Sea monster eggs, alien abductions, the z-files, and Godzilla references abound as a local crisis turns into a circus with Sam, who desperately wants to be loved, and Derek, who desperately wants to believe in something, right in the center. Miss Mary Todd is, as usual, on the sidelines pulling strings. If you need to excercise your abs, and don't feel like doing sit-ups, I can guarantee that this one will have you feeling the burn, beginning to end.
