His job as a television
expose journalist has Derek Diche traveling worldwide to
investigate strange phenomena. On a bit of a break from work, Derek has come to relax and
unwind with his Aunt Mary in a small town, Paradise Beach. What he is about to come across could be his story of the
year, as well as being an unexpected chance for romance.
Officer Samantha “Sam”
Bartlett is used to quiet beats, but when she receives a call
about a giant sea monster, her life takes an abrupt turn.
Arriving on the beach, she discovers huge reptilian
footprints that are estimated to have been made by a monster
weighing a ton. Hard
to prove as a hoax, Sam is not sure how to handle the
investigation, especially when Derek Diche is ready to bring in
his camera crew and put their town all over the television.
Things only get worse when a four-foot wide cold, slimy egg
washes up on the same beach.
Now Sam has moved from Officer to Egg sitter, and she is
spending more time with Derek than she would like to.
Even worse, or better depending on how you look at things,
Sam is becoming wildly attracted to this charmer, and she is sure
she wants to get to know him better.
Gentle humor, a highly
unusual storyline, and quirky characters lead the reader on an
unusual twist for romance. Scenes
with Aunt Mary, the EPA agents that come into play, space aliens,
and many more odd happenings lead the readers on a zany journey in
which two people magically find true love despite the strange
daily events.
Without
a doubt this is a fine character driven romance.
You just can’t miss the mayor with his unusual sense of
style or the minister with a very weird secondary job.
