I discovered Kandy Shepherd when I won a copy of THE SUMMER THEY NEVER FORGOT (link). Kandy recently asked me to review next book from Dophin Bay, THE TYCOON AND THE WEDDING PLANNER:
When one wedding leads to another…
Kate Parker distracts herself from her memories by keeping busy—and how better than organizing weddings for Dolphin Bay's sweethearts? But tall, dark and handsome tycoon Sam Lancaster's arrival suddenly has Kate forgetting where she left the confetti….
And mysterious Sam will be around awhile longer than the cutting of the cake—because he's got to oversee Kate's building project! There's no time for distractions…but is it time to stop running from happiness now that it's led them to each other?

| A bride on Kailua beach |
For Kate Parker, planning her friends' wedding was a distraction ... and then a boon when she meet the sexy friend-of-the-groom, Sam Lancaster. It is instant attraction for Kate and Sam. And there is no better place to indulge in an unexpected romance than Dolphin Bay.
Shepherd returns to the sun kissed coastal town in the dreamy Australia. She delivers the ultimate summer escape with a timeless story of two lost souls who find each other. Shepherd is spot on with her vivid descriptions of a beach town, taking me back to my beloved Hawaii (both Australia and Hawaii are islands!)
THE TYCOON AND THE WEDDING PLANNER is a breezy read that kept my attention from page one. Recommended to those seeking the perfect beach read.

Love the black sand beaches on the Big Island.
ReplyDeleteI have only been to 2 beaches in my life, so don't have a favorite.
ReplyDeleteI live near Lake Michigan so I have to pick that beach. We have great sand dunes, too!

Coolum Beach on the Sunshine Coast QLD - Beautiful one day - Perfect the next.
ReplyDeleteLove the beaches in Jacksonville, FL!
ReplyDeleteI used to love Fire Island but it has changed.
ReplyDeleteI used to go to Jones Beach when I was much younger. Now that I am older, really do not go much.

Not really... Love them all!
ReplyDeleteAny beach with some sunshine and a little heat will do for this suffering midwesterner!
ReplyDeleteNo favs b/c I really haven't visited one except for Galveston Bay in Texas but that doesn't count cuz I really didn't like it ;) Ummm... clean, not too hot or crowded and a beach boy to rub my feet while I read! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love La Jolla Cove. So, does everyone else. It has the perfect setting for pictures and other stuff.
ReplyDeleteI've been to beaches in Florida but nothing beats the ones in Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteno fav one
ReplyDeleteI live on LI & we have beaches on both shores, in driving distance, so I am lucky. I loved the beach in Aruba.The water seems bluer & the sand whiter & finer.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to the beach in what seems like forever! I'd have to say that my favorite is a beach on Bermuda - can't remember the name, but it had pink sand.
ReplyDeleteThough we have some nice beaches here in San Diego, the water is very cold most of the time. So, I would say my favorites are beaches in Hawaii where the water is clear and warm! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to a beach since I was a teenager (a long time ago), and I couldn't tell you which was my favorite one then.
ReplyDeleteEven though I don't surf, I really enjoyed watching the awesome surfers at Australia's Bondai Beach. That is a fabulous place to visit.
ReplyDeleteI haven't really gone to the beach in a long while. I think if I ever visit the beaches in Hawaii, they would be my favorite!
