Book Review: What Happens at the Beach by T.A. Williams

Kindle Edition276 pages

For the perfect summer romance…

It’s finally time for Natalie Dryden to decide what she really wants! After ditching her sparkling engagement ring, and her ghastly fiancé, she jets off for the sun-kissed shores of Southern France – the only place that has ever truly felt like home. For the first time ever, Natalie is determined to forget all about men and follow her dreams!

…head to the French coast!

Only, avoiding the male population isn’t quite so easy, especially when she meets smooth-talking Philippe and gorgeous fisherman, Remy! But then Natalie, quite literally, bumps into brooding millionaire Mark whilst swimming in the glittering azure-blue bay – and her life is turned upside-down.

Love might be off the cards for Natalie, yet suddenly she finds herself in her dream job and working with her dream man! But is it all too good to be true…?
 

                                                               MY REVIEW:


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Natalie breaks off her engagement from a stuffy fiance and heads to France. She decides to stay with her grandmother and swear off men for awhile but then she meets Mark, Phillipe and Remy.
First of all I am really glad that we didn't need to read more of Natalie's life with the ex as I did not like him or his mom and sister, They were such snobs. Natalie recently got her degree in Medieval History and is seeking for job opportunities and the ex and his family did not think she could make a career of it and wanted her to stay home and be a wife and raise children. Why can't she have a career too?
When Natalie meets Mark and his dog, Mark hires her to help him write a book and she will be using her degree,
We get to "visit" France while these 2 are discovering France. I had never wanted to visit France before but while reading this I thought well maybe it would be fun to visit,
I received this from NetGalley for review.

Firstly, my name isn't T A. It's Trevor. I write under the androgynous name T A Williams because 65% of books are read by women. In my first book, "Dirty Minds" one of the (female) characters suggests the imbalance is due to the fact that men spend too much time getting drunk and watching football. I couldn't possibly comment. Ask my wife...
I've written all sorts: thrillers, historical novels, short stories and now I'm enjoying myself hugely writing humour and romance. Romantic comedies are what we all need from time to time. Life isn’t always very fair. It isn’t always a lot of fun, but when it is, we need to embrace it. If my books can put a smile on your face and maybe give your heartstrings a tug, then I know I’ve done my job.
I‘ve lived all over Europe, but now I live in a little village in sleepy Devon, tucked away in south west England. I love the place. That’s why you’ll find leafy lanes and thatched cottages in most of my books. Oh, yes, and a black Labrador.
I've been writing since I was 14 and that is half a century ago. However, underneath this bald, wrinkly exterior, there beats the heart of a youngster. My wife is convinced I will never grow up. I hope she's right.
