"Another winner"
Ariana Costas escaped to Vermont to get away from her wacky
family. The Costas family always has a scheme or two
cooking and Ariana only wants the stability of a normal
life works as a college professor. All that goes out the window when her twin sister Zoe is
kidnapped. Ariana gets the idea of impersonating her twin
to find out who would want to hurt Zoe. Instead she winds
up being tackled by Quinn Donovan, who plans on making sure
she doesnt meet the same fate as her twin. Quinn Donovan is shocked to find out the stable twin Ariana
is more like her sister then she would like to believe. He
now has to make sure she stays safe as well as nail the
jerk who had Zoe kidnapped in the first place. UNDER THE BOARDWALK is the latest single title by Carly
Phillips. Ms. Phillips is making a name for herself for
writing single titles that are fun loving and make you feel
good. The whole Costas family is a bunch of eccentrics who
love each other to death and have an adorable pet monkey
who just might steal the book. UNDER THE BOARDWALK is highly entertaining and will have
you routing for the good guys as hoping the bad guys get
what is coming to them. Barb Hicks

SummaryAriana Costas may have moved to Vermont, but the college
professor's still a Jersey girl at heart. At least,
according to her wacky Greek family, a lovable clan of
eccentrics that includes one spirited, foot-stomping
monkey. The Costas' latest money making
caper—impersonating members of that other peculiar
family, the Addamses - has made them infamous in their
small town of Ocean Isle, NJ. No wonder Ari couldn't wait
to escape. Then her twin sister disappears, and Ari comes
running home to find out what happened. The very last
thing she expects is to be shot at ... and rescued by a
handsome hunk in a black leather jacket.
Wrong twin, right woman? Detective Quinn Donovan's first
glimpse of the wind-blown beauty with the raven hair and
unmistakable profile is like déja vu all over again. If
this lady isn't Zoe, it's someone who looks exactly like
her. Now Ari is in deeper trouble than the Atlantic at
high tide, and Quinn just may be the right man to protect
her—even if it means giving up his well-guarded
secrets. But how is he supposed to resist this sensual,
fiercely independent woman while carrying out a dangerous
mission that could get them both killed? As an all-out
search to find the missing Zoe brings these two confirmed
loners closer together, all Quinn and Ari have to do is
live long enough to enjoy it....
