The January TBR challenge

Angie (Brianna's Mommy) instituted a TBR challenge whereby interpid bloggers are supposed to read a specific type of book. This month it was a contemporary romance. I finished mine last evening and wanted to blog about it.

I read It Happened In South Beach by Jennie Klassel
which was a lighthearted contemporary romantic suspense. It was exactly what I needed to break up some rather grim fantasy reads that I had to set aside.

This WAS marketed as a contemporary romance though, Angie!!

Tilly Snapp is the executrix of her aunt's will. When her aunt dies in a tragic nude parasailing accident (the mind boggles!), Tilly becomes embroiled in her aunt's life and eccentric friends. Her life is further complicated by the fact that her dear aunt may have been in posession of a very valuable sexual artifact and that her aunt was murdered.

Tilly's attraction to a sexy Interpol agent and her growth as a character rounded out a read that kept me entertained. While it wasn't a keeper by far, and I found myself having to suspend belief at times and chuckling at the over the top antics, it held my attention.
