The House on Mermaid Point by Wendy Wax

Just finished The House on Mermaid Point by Wendy Wax - a fun 4th of July read for me - ok - I wasn't at the beach but enjoyed my light summertime fun read!  I've enjoyed all of Wendy Wax's books with Maddie, Avery, Nikki, Deirdre and Kyra and their reality decorating show "Do Over". I've enjoyed seeing how these women have become strong as they've faced many obstacles and personal challenges.  Lots of fun between the ladies!  

This book highlights Maddie and her potential romance with a rock legend William Hightower - the owner of the house on a private island in the keys that the show is renovating.  I like seeing how romance may not be dead in the older generation!  

What I'm not enjoying is the different stories and romances are left in limbo for the next book in the series - don't need to drag them out so long.  My favorite book in this series was probably the first one - Ten Beach Road.  Anyway - will look forward to the next one!  4 stars!

Book Description on Amazon

In this new novel from the author of Ten Beach Road and Ocean Beach, three unlikely friends who were thrown together by disaster get a do-over on life, love, and happiness . . . 

Maddie, Avery, and Nikki first got to know one another—perhaps all too well—while desperately restoring a beachfront mansion to its former grandeur. Now they’re putting that experience to professional use. But their latest project has presented some challenges they couldn’t have dreamed up in their wildest fantasies—although the house does belong to a man who actually was Maddie’s wildest fantasy once . . .

Rock-and-roll legend “William the Wild” Hightower may be past his prime, estranged from his family, and creatively blocked, but he’s still worshiped by fans—which is why he guards his privacy on his own island in the Florida Keys. He’s not thrilled about letting this crew turn his piece of paradise into a bed-and-breakfast for a reality show . . . though he is intrigued by Maddie. Hard as that is for her to believe as a newly single woman who can barely manage a dog paddle in the dating pool.

But whether it’s an unexpected flirtation with a bona fide rock star, a strained mother-daughter relationship, or a sudden tragedy, these women are in it together. The only thing that might drive them apart is being trapped on a houseboat with one bathroom . . .
