BOOK REVIEW for "Bahama Mama (Key West Escape, #2)" by Tricia Leedom

***(3) out of 5 stars


SYNOPSIS:

Troubles are piling up for Molly MacBain. Between navigating the moods of an increasingly sassy teenage daughter, battling mounting financial difficulties, and wading through a mess of custody issues, Molly certainly doesn't need any more stress in her life. But when she learns that her best friend, Sophie, has been keeping a huge secret from her, she's beyond bowled over. Apparently, Sophie's soon-to-be brother-in-law is Molly’s idol, country music superstar Anders Ostergaard and after years on the country music circuit herself, Molly finds herself somewhere between smitten and awe-struck.

Anders flies to Key West to attend his brother’s wedding and keep a low profile after a wicked scandal continues to follow him around like a lurking shadow. Usually, he has a strict rule about getting involved with fans, especially fiery, red-headed hot mamas like Molly MacBain, but her sharp wit and refreshing openness draws him in like no one has before.

But romance and flirting come to a screeching halt, when Molly’s daughter witnesses a murder and winds up in Jamaica. Anders offers Molly the use of his private plane to bring her home and together, they set off for Montego Bay. Between racing against her ex’s impending involvement and the hitman hunting for the witnesses to his crime, both Molly and Anders are completely unaware they’re being stalked by an even greater danger.

In the sultry Caribbean, Anders and Molly discover when a man who’s sworn off love and a woman who guards her heart can’t keep their hands off of each other, something’s gotta give. If their luck doesn’t run out first.

REVIEW:

Overall, I really enjoyed this tropical romance for the fun, light read that it was. Molly and Anders have an amazing relationship - when he isn't being a total jerk to her. The several instances when he was a complete loser really detracted from most of the rest of the good stuff. Also, the entire subplot involving Cheyenne witnessing the murder and everything associated with that is totally ludicrous. But if you can suspend your disbelief for long enough, it makes for a pretty entertaining story. My favorite character has to be Obie, even though he had a relatively small role in the overall tale; and I was very happy to watch him blossom as he did. In fact, pretty much everything turned out good in the end, which was definitely a plus. 

I received a free eBook copy of this title from Firefly Hill Press via NetGalley, 
and have willingly provided an honest review
