Love At The Beach Hut is the second book in the multi-author Paradise Keys series and is perfect holiday reading. While it’s part of a series the links are loose enough that each book stands alone well.
Jenna Davis has told her girlfriends a tiny little lie, making up a perfect imaginary boyfriend. This only becomes a problem when her friends descend on Paradise Keys for the funeral of their friend Lilly and then stay on afterwards. Enter Zach Taylor, her brother’s best friend and the man she’s had a crush on since childhood. Zach needs a favour from Jenna and agrees to pretend to be her boyfriend in return. Of course along the way they discover their feelings for each other but as with all lies, once started this one gets a little out of control.
This story is filled with gorgeous characters. Jenna and Zach were easy to like but there were others too - Jenna’s grandmother for one and Ivy, the hairdresser whose shop is next door to Jenna’s. Paradise Keys is full of community, which makes this story heartwarming.
