In her latest big, enjoyable novel, with a title strongly suggesting beach read, perennial best-seller Andrews (Save the Date,2014) introduces us to movie-location-scout Greer Hennessey as she finds the perfect undeveloped Florida coast town for a demanding director's current shoot. But the town's mayor, Eben Thinadeaux, who is also a real-estate agent, environmental engineer, grocery-store owner, and motel co-manager, isn't too keen on Hollywood taking over sleepy Cypress Key. Sparks fly between Greer and Eben as their disagreements about the movie can't burn out their mutual attraction. Things are explosive on set, too, as the movie's self-destructive star wreaks havoc on the cast, crew, and townspeople. Greer must find a way to balance her growing love for Eben and Cypress Key with choices that may well make or break her career. Andrews expertly combines an intriguing love story with small-town quirkiness and cinematic action to highly entertaining effect. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: This enticing romance arrives right on time for summer's lighter reading season with a hefty 250,000 initial print run and lots of promotion pizzazz, and it will be a popular pick.--Walker, Aleksandra Copyright 2015 Booklist

Andrews's (Save the Date) latest great summer novel is set on the beach. Cypress Key, FL, is a down-on-its-luck, forgotten-by-time rural community whose mayor, Eb Thibadeaux, hopes for changes. When movie location scout Greer Hennessy finds Cypress Key and a major motion picture starts filming, the town changes, but is it for the better? And when Greer and Eb become involved, will those changes break their hearts? Add in fan-crazy teenagers, paparazzi, a money-hungry socialite, and ex-cons, and the mix keeps getting more complicated. This is a fun, fast-paced listen with excellent narration by Kathleen -McInerney, who avoids the stereotypical Southern drawl that would be completely out of place for the Florida location. -VERDICT Recommended for those who dream about sunny small-town life.-J.
