Stella and Sean are pleasurable characters in the beach read. Nothing too heavy, a light book you can read in one sitting, take with you on the go and enjoy with friends.

An entertaining romantic comedy mystery. We may begin the tale in London, but then it is off to New York City with Australia making itself know periodically. Fun international feel. A light but intriguing story. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley.

I loved the setting of this story, it captured my attention by the New York setting and the Engaging writing style. The story focuses on our main character Stella, who catches her (now ex) fiancé with a waitress at his restaurant - a comedy/mystery follows as Stella is framed for knocking down her ex in her VW beetle. Despite her families desperation for her to forgive her ex, Stella embarks on a mystery solving quest with Aussie Sean. A fun easy beach read.

Congratulations to TJ Beach, a new author for me, this book delivers great humour, romance and mystery! The pace was good, Stella was brilliant with Sean and I wasn’t so impressed by Stella’s family! A fabulous read to keep you on your toes!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Nice plot and entertaining characters. I couldn't put it down. Will look out for more from this author.

What a cute, unconventional love story! It kept me wondering what will happen next in the story and I just had to read it till the end. The author is new to me and I liked her writing style so much that I will try to read her other books too. This is perfect summer read and I highly recommend it.

Zany Greek family dynamic, madcap search for justice: delightful😊

4.5🌟 stars
What a joyful, rollicking adventure! Stella's story starts out with a bang(!😉) and keeps zinging along on a fun, madcap chase with Aussie businessman Sean as her sidekick and number one supporter. This story has it all: romance, some sizzle, sleazy bars, Russian Mafia, a bit of brief violence and alot of brazen bravado and family strife all revolving around Stella's need to prove she's been framed for a dangerous attack on her fickle, profligate fiance.

Author T.J. Beach has a facility for creating memorable characters, a good plot and some great tongue-in-cheek dialogue. It's a captivating adventure with romance an important element to the plot but not dominating the action. Stella is unquenchable, unstoppable, pure energy and drive. She carries the story and charms cops, criminals, reluctant witnesses and more than one smitten Australian along the way. As to her traditional Greek family, she's got her work cut out for her to get them lined up on her side!

This is the second novel in a series, can easily be read as a standalone, but now I will go back and read the first novel to get the full background on Stella and Sean's earlier first meeting and exploits in Australia with their best friends.

Thanks to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for sharing a complimentary copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest opinion.

I love when I find new authors and their stories full of emotions and suspense, with a great dialogue and characters that you can’t help but keep them close to your heart as you get to know them with each chapter.

There’s a lot to take in here, but the pace is fast and the romance element is so well done that it goes so well with the thrilling moments of suspense and edgy scenes.

A romantic suspense story that many will enjoy as much as I have.

Very grateful to the publisher for my review copy

Oh my goodness it Took me a minute to get into it but once I did I couldn’t put it down, great read!
