    I love to read anything that makes me smile, swoon or develop an overwhelming urge to jump my hubby (he likes that little side benefit, too).

    I’d love to be on any sunny beach under an umbrella, perhaps on a less populated day at South Haven, MI, or the Florida Keys… with the waves gently lapping at the sand. A Kristan Higgans, fun & sweet read, or (the opposite direction) a J.R. Ward BDB book in hand. ♥♥♥

    I was born in Panama, where we are blessed with great beaches both in the Pacific and the Caribbean.

    I like reading contemporary romances when we’re on vacation, especially those by Julie James, Kristan Higgins and Rosalind James.

    I have to share my most memorable beach read…Several years ago, I took Kate Douglas’ Wolf Tales to the beach. This was a new to me author, given by a friend who’d won the book. I was not new to erotica, but there was something about this book and reading it at the beach…>.< I remember my eyes bugging out and my face getting red. At one point, I actually closed the book and looked around to make sure no one was looking, then, of course opened the book to keep reading. DH eventually came up and reminded me to put some sunscreen in my face. bwahahhhaaa! To this day, Wolf Tales has held the title of naughtiest beach read EVAH! LOL

    I’ve never been to a beach and I don’t have a pool nor do I go on vacations, but my favorite books to read in the summer are the same books I’ve read countless times! …Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series (or any of hers really) or KMM’s Fever series (never a bad time for some Jericho Barrons) are always great choices for any season and I find myself picking them up on hot summer days! Although those books aren’t exactly a great choice for when you need to cool down LOL
