"A delightful romance with lots of humor"
On Florida's Intercoastal Waterway, Paradise Beach is a
quite safe town, which is in part why Samantha Bartlett
joined its police force when the call came in. On the
nearby beach, the six patrolling septuagenarians fondly
known as the Dustbuster Brigade have found footprints the
size of a T-Rex. Could a sea monster be in the nearby Gulf
waters, as these supernatural hunters believe? TV reporter Derek Diche happens to be in town visiting
a relative when the word spreads that Paradise Beach has
its own Nessie. Derek, who debunks the unexplainable
legends figures that he can combine a vacation with a story
especially since the townsfolk are caught up in the
excitement of the indirect sighting. As Samantha tries to
keep the calm, she and Diche soon find magic with the love
they share. Sue Civil Brown is gaining a name for romantic romps
that are two doses of humor and two doses of love. Her
latest delight, NEXT STOP, PARADISE, is an engaging tale
because of the hilarious antics of the residents of
Paradise Beach and the budding romance between Sam and
Diche. Any reader who enjoys a funny yet romantic tale
will find Ms Civil-Brown is one of the best at delivering
that type of novel and her current story proves that
reading her books is a present stop in paradise. Harriet Klausner
