Savannah Breeze audiobook

Savannah Breeze by Mary Kay AndrewsWith what happens to BeBe Loudermilk (pronounced BayBay naturally!) in this book, you might think that this was going to be a very depressing read. I’m happy to say, it is not. Out of the three “Southern” books in this trilogy, this is by far the funniest and quirkiest. How Ms. Andrews could find us the humor in the facts that a very smart woman loses everything she owns to a con man, makes for an amazingly talented writer.BeBe, as I said loses everything she owns and then some, to a very slick con man. When she is at the end of her rope, she finds that she somehow now owns a nearly derelict motel. She seems to be in possession of a handyman/ manager too! Frankly, this works out to her advantage in so many ways!As Bebe, Weezie (whom you met in “Savannah Blues” where her story is told) Harry (the handyman/manager), and of all people, Spencer, Bebe’s grandfather, decide that they are going to hunt down and takedown (in a non-violent way) the conman the story becomes 30% intrigue, 20% romance and 30% comedic. This leaves 20% to deal with the deep soul-searching changes that are bound to happen when a life-altering event like this crashes down on someone.As I’ve said this is a funny, deep, frightening and altogether realistic look at something most of us think could never happen to us. The characters are written with Ms. Andrews usual compelling style and are so realistic I could swear that I went to school with a couple of them!The descriptions of the area are such that I feel that I can see perfect pictures of the place in my head, and it is so clear that it is almost as if I’ve been there.Savannah Breeze truly will make a perfect beach read, but be aware that at times people around you may look at you funny when you start chuckling out loud.

Another great book in this southern mystery. These characters are fun and loveable.

Wow. What a great book. This was one of those where you read so fast because you can’t wait to see what happens next. This has to be one of my favorites. This is the sequel to Savannah Blues. This time, the story focus is on Be Be. She meets this guy who sweeps her off her feet and then sweeps everything out from under her. The only thing she has is a bunch of little cabins on Tybee Island. The guy is a con artist and conned her out of everything. Her properties, her money and her grandparents jewelery and bank account. When she finds an opportunity to track him down, she takes Weezie, Harry (the handyman she inherited from the cabins) and her grandfather Spencer down to Florida to swindle back her money from “Rory”. What happens next is hilarious. I don’t think I have read a funnier book. I am on my way to add Andrews other books on to my wish list.

Another cute and quirky book by Mary Kay Andrews. # 2 in the Southern series was pretty good with just a few slower parts. The typical happily ever after ending, but that’s OK with these books.

3.5 stars...fun to be back with Bebe & Weezie again!

great combination of friendship, adventure, romance, food, bargain-hunting, and redecorating. I liked this! didn't realize til now this is a #2 in a series, I will have to read #1. One thing I didn't like is how most of the chapters are written from Bebe's perspective, but periodically a chapter will say "Weezie" and come from her perspective. I felt this really broke the flow of the novel.

What a fun read! Mary Kay Andrews brings the south and its' belles, to life! This story is about Bebe and her troubles. She gets conned and makes it her mission to con the con man, AND...well, i will not give too much away, but it has a happy ending!This is a great beach read and a winter read on the couch in front of the fire....enjoy.

I loved this book. Again Andrews didn't let me down. I recommend this book for a good summer reader.

I'm a southern fiction nut and I'm so glad to have discovered Mary Kay Andrews! She explores the southern culture and experience, but unlike Reynolds Price and Pat Conroy (my other favorites), her writing is light-hearted and fun. Savannah Blues and Savannah Breeze are my two favorites by this author because she has time to detail and develop two memorable characters: BeBe and Weezy. I also love "junking" and this is the first author who incorporates this southern past-time into her plot.

I cracked up laughing while reading this book.

Savannah Breeze is a fun-filled sequel to Savannah Blues which I have not read (yet). Regardless of not knowing the previous story, BeBe's story was easy to jump into and you never feel too lost not knowing the characters previously. BeBe Loudermilk, a three time divorcee' has found herself in another humiliating situation: a man posed as the perfect man and managed to perfectly leave her without anything besides the clothes on her back, the car she was driving, her restaurant that she can't afford to keep open and... the Breeze Motel. With nothing else to loose, BeBe heads out to the Breeze and finds Hank, the cranky manager and a hotel that is in needs of lots of work - work she can't redily afford.This novel is a great fun to read and I found myself flying through the pages. The things that happen to BeBe somewhat seem a bit farfetched but Mary Kay Andrews tells it so simply and honestly that it seems that you could be reading the story of your friend who found herself in a pickle. A typical chick-lit book but a fun ride.

I truly enjoyed this book! It's not going to become a classic and it's not going to win any awards for great literature, but it was very well-written, the characters were three-dimensional and fun, and the plot had an excellent pacing to it. I didn't quite see the ending before it happened, so there was still a little element of surprise.To sum it up: Lemon meringue pie. The characters are sweet ladies, but they've got a little tart to them when you get their gander. The book was pretty fluffy and light in weight; a great beach read.This is the second book in a series, and I'd already read the third and fourth books... not sure how it escaped my notice that I'd missed a book. I enjoy the main characters and I love the setting (Savannah!) and I'll continue to read and recommend these books.
