Today, I'm reviewing Beach Kisses & Sunset Wishes by Nora LeDuc.

He's handsome and in town for only 2 weeks. She wants someone interested in a fling. He wants someone interested in a ring.

Frankie is tired of faithless men who break her heart like the last guy just did. Okay, maybe he only dented her heart, but she's taking a break from men like him. 

At her friend's urging, she decides to have a summer fling. That's when she spies Scott, the perfect man to fulfill her new resolution.

Her words are braver and more brazen than Frankie though. She finds it difficult to follow through on her stated goal, but Tikki, her BFF, lends a hand.

Before she knows it, Frankie has a date with Scott. Frankie isn't a fling kind of girl. After spending time with Scott, she admits to herself that she wants more than a fling. Uncertainty about how he feels keeps her silent.

When he turns out to be much more than she bargained for, she wonders if he was just having a summer fling of his own.

This is a lovely, sweet romance that will make you smile, and probably laugh at the dive-bombing seagull and at Frankie's grandmother, a great character who reminds me of someone I know.
