About this listen
A Ten Beach Road novella
The ladies of Ten Beach Road are home for the holidays in this brand-new novella.
Although their lives have changed since their first desperate renovation of Bella Flora, friends Madeline, Avery, and Nicole have always been there for each other. Now they're returning to Bella Flora for Christmas - where Maddie's daughter Kyra isn't feeling particularly celebratory.
Kyra was hoping for a peaceful holiday at Bella Flora - a last gathering before a wealthy mystery tenant moves into the home she's been forced to rent out. Instead she must make a life-altering decision by New Year's - a decision that becomes even more difficult when unexpected guests arrive at Ten Beach Road on Christmas Eve. Now Kyra, Maddie, Avery, and Nikki will need to pull together to secure Bella Flora's future as well as their own.
Includes an excerpt from Best Thing Ever.

At 41, Vivian Armstrong Gray's life as an investigative journalist is crumbling. Humiliated after taking a bullet in her backside during an exposé, Vivi learns that she's pregnant, jobless, and very hormonal. This explains why she says "yes" to a dreadful job covering suburban living back home in Georgia, a column she must write incognito. Down South, it's her sister's ballroom dance studio that becomes her undercover spot where she learns about the local life - and where unexpected friendships develop.

When Eliza Whitney loses both her beloved husband and her high-powered job in the same month, she’s uncertain what the next chapter of her life will look like. At 53, she’s too young to retire and too old to start over. Then her estranged father’s widow contacts her and asks her to come to Sanibel Island to help settle his affairs.

3 Hours You'll Never Get Back
I had given up on the Bella Flora series when I saw this one. The stories originally focused on three women with with financial issues due to being the victims of a Ponzi scheme. They took on the rehab project of an old mansion, finding a way to overcome misfortune and being taken advantage of by the world, particularly the men in their lives. Unfortunately at some point the author moved from actual obstacles to interior angst that went on for about 8 hours before the book's main character would, for no apparent reason suddenly decide to do the right thing and problems were solved. This one had to be better I thought, after all it's only 3 hours long. Well having to only listen for three hours instead of 11-13 hours was good but that was the only saving grace this book had; save yourself the money and the time.
