    About this audiobook

    Unlikely friends Madeline, Avery and Nicole have hit some speed bumps in their lives, but when they arrive in Miami's South Beach neighborhood, they are all hoping for a do-over. Literally. They've been hired to bring a once-grand historic house back to its former glory on a new television show called Do-Over. If they can just get this show off the ground, Nikki would get back on her feet financially, Avery could restart her ruined career, and Maddie would have a shot at keeping her family together.At least, that's the plan-until the women realize that while having their work broadcast is one thing, having their personal lives play out on TV is another thing entirely. Soon they are struggling to hold themselves, and the project, together. With a decades-old mystery-and the hurricane season-looming, the women are forced to figure out just how they'll weather life's storms.

      loved it. please consider making the series into a movie. Thanks

      I read Ten Beach Road, and was excited to continue hearing from the characters I love....three women in need of a second chance…

      Unlikely friends Madeline, Avery and Nicole have hit some speed bumps in their lives, but when they arrive in Miami’s South Beach neighborhood, they are all hoping for a do-over. They’ve been hired to bring a once-grand historic house back to its former glory on a new television show called Do-Over.

      If they can just get this show off the ground, Nikki would get back on her feet financially, Avery could restart her ruined career, and Maddie would have a shot at keeping her family together. At least, that’s the plan – until the women realize that having their work broadcast is one thing, having their personal lives play out on TV is another thing entirely.

      Soon they are struggling to hold themselves, and the project, together. With a decades-old mystery—and the hurricane season—looming, the women are forced to figure out just how they’ll weather life’s storms.

      (Since I live in South Florida, love the South Beach connection)!!

      This is the second book in the trilogy and you really need to read book 1 to fully understand the characters. Maddie, Avery and Nicole are filming a pilot for a reality show called Do-Over and have a house to re-do in South Beach. This time, they start out as friends but run into many obstacles. Along with the work involved with the house, there is the old vaudeville owner who they all come to love, the cameraman for the network, the jealous husband, the actor father and various other character and sub plots. Just as with book one, this isn't a deep book and its all pretty predictable but its fun to read and the main characters are all very likable. Its a fun summer book!

      This book is a sequel to Wendy's previous series. The characters reunite once again. The three ladies are at it still - this time in Miami's South Beach area. As they continue to attempt their hands at rehabbing , a new TV show lies in the wings. Their new task can prove to be big break for them; although the last house they worked on is yet to be sold.Max and Millie bring life to the story with their share of problems. There's a lot to learn about Max and his wife. In the way this author presented their story, you can just feel their love. This book is packed with an array of characters and a story that will spark your interest.

      While I don't know if I expressly needed to know more about the women from Ten Beach Road, I am very glad Wax decided to tell more of their story. The lives of three women, upended by a Ponzi-like scheme in the previous book, intersect again as they head to a run down home called The Millicent to renovate for a shot at a cable tv show. The cable network has other ideas, of course, and the addition of more cameramen take this to a more reality show level. Maddie, Avery and Nicole all struggle with various family issues as the point of view moves back and forth from one to another. I liked that Maddie's daughter Kyra's story was continued as well and enjoyed the descriptions of the nautical/deco style house. The owner, Max Golden, former vaudeville star, brought another nice angle to the story.
    • 5/5
      Just like the first book, I loved it. Great summer read and mystery involving a remodel on an old south beach Miami mansion from the golden days. The characters are repeats and more developed, just as the description of the city and landscapes. All really enjoyable to relax with. I do so hope Wendy Wax writes more for this series and soon!

      Ocean Beach is the sequel to Ten Beach Road, a story of three women who lost all the savings to a Ponci scheme. The three main characters are Maddie, a housewife who is force to save her family because her financial planner husband, Steve can not, Avery, the almost silent partner of a fixer-up television and Nicole, the owner of a million dollar dating service. Each inherit one third of a home on the West Coast of Florida.Ocean Beach opens several months after the end of Ten Beach Road. The house that the women remodeled as not sold but there is promise in the wind with a new Lifetime Show "Do Over" starringAvery and her long-lost Mother, Maddie and her daughter and grandson, Nicole and Max, the owner of the Miami based fixer-upper house.The story is a mixture of laughter, tears, mystery, and drama in tony area of Miami beach. It is a perfect summer beach read with endearing characters.

      Ocean Beach was a great read. I laughed, cried, and wondered what was going to happen to the ladies. They were all concerned with each other, the project, and Max who’s home they were doing over because of a promise he had made. Will the girls help Max? How will their project go with them being filmed for a reality TV show? I totally enjoyed Ocean Beach and so will you.Received by the publisher for an honest review by My Book Addiction and More.Rating: 5Heat Rating: MildReviewed by: Susan
