Susan Mallery's novels never disappoint her readers and Beach Vibes was no exception. Beth owns a sandwich shop near the beach and her brother Rick is a surgeon. Beth meets Jana when she is volunteering at the food bank and they become friends. Meanwhile, Beth finds out that Rick is dating Jana when Rick brings is new girlfriend to meet her.. The intrigue begins from that moment on. Eventually, Beth meets and falls in love with Jana's brother, Teddy and his three children. Everything is going well for the couples until Beth discovers a secret and doesn't know how to handle it. It could impact her relationship with her brother and Jana and Teddy. Initially, some would say Beth makes the wrong decision and has to live with the consequences. She finally realizes that she never really knew her brother and has to make a decision about him also. I could not put this book down and read it in one sitting because I had to see if things would work out in the end. This was one of my favorite novels by Susan Mallery. I would love a sequel.

Realistic characters kept this story moving quickly. Family and friends…love and romance..deception causes problems…saving lives..feeding the public…recipe for a quick fun read …this popular talented author has written a page turner. This book is about problems with loved ones…loyalty…a little trouble keeping characters apart and which one is speaking when…thanks Netgalley.

I always love Susan Mallery books and this was no exception. Beth finds a friend in Jana but thing a go awry when Jana starts dating her brother. And then Beth dates Jana’s brother and things get even more complicated. This was a fun book that I had a hard time putting down.

In Beach Vibes, Susan Mallery tells a touching story about love, family, and personal growth. The main character, Beth, is a recently divorced sandwich shop owner who struggles with the news of her ex-husband’s engagement. Mallery captures Beth’s feelings beautifully, making her journey relatable for anyone facing change.

Beth meets Jana while volunteering at a local food bank. Jana is a single mom trying to get by, and their friendship becomes a source of support for both women. Mallery highlights how important it is to have someone to lean on during tough times.

The plot thickens with Beth’s brother, Rick, who connects both women. As they learn more about him, the story dives into themes of loyalty and betrayal, adding drama that keeps you turning the pages.

Beth and Jana both grow throughout the book, learning about themselves and what they truly want. The coastal setting adds a nice touch, creating a perfect backdrop for their journeys of healing and new beginnings.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Canary Street Press for the opportunity to read Beach Vibes!
