Love at the Beach Shop by Kyra Jacobs, book two in the Paradise Key series. A great addition to the series this is the second book in series. I love a great beach town series and this series hasn't disappointed me so far. I look forward to seeing what the next book brings us.

Fantastic read! This is the second book in the Paradise Key series however each of these books can be read standalone. So far I'm enjoying all of them! Jenna Davis has been living in Paradise Key but she has stayed close with the friends she made over the summers of her youth. Now everyone is returning to Paradise Key and she has a problem. She may have accidentally told them she had a hot new boyfriend and they are expecting to meet him. Too bad she doesn't actually have one to introduce...unless she can convince her friend Zach Taylor to play along in exchange for a little room in her shop! She has no idea but he may be exactly what she needs.

This book is fun, flirty, and sweet. You don't want to miss this one!

A very cute, but predictable read. Jenna’s friends are in town for a funeral and are desperate to meet her “boyfriend”. The only issue, she doesn’t have one. Jenna’s friend Zach is in a predicament of his own. He agrees, in exchange for a room in her house, This shouldn’t be hard as he’s had feelings for her for years.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A really sweet book! I wasn't sure about Zach's exit and why is would have been "disastrous", but the book was well written and I really liked Jenna.

This was my first time reading this author and I truly enjoyed the book. I believe this book is number two in a series with different authors. It was a lovely story spanning all generations. I will definitely read more books by Kyra Jacobs now. I was able to read courtesy of NetGalley, which helped me find a new author to read.

What a cute book! There is such a sweet premise of two people helping each other out of difficult situations and finding out they really love each other after years of being just friends.
Jenna Davis and Zach Taylor have been friends since forever along with her brother, Aaron. Zach is Aaron’s best friend and being so, never felt he could act on his long time crush on Jenna-best friend’s code and all. Jenna is a little older and she could see the developing man Zach was becoming but stayed far away from him as they grew older. Faced with a situation that Jenna created, she sees a miracle answer in Zach: he could pose as her boyfriend (one she made up to her besties) and in return offer him use of her shop while his is waiting street repairs. Oh, and he could live in the spare room of her apartment, too! Zach sees this as the opportunity to up his game and finally go after Jenna. He is guided by an article in the Redbook magazine he finds in her bathroom (funny idea) and utilizes all its information to sway Jenna to him. But, there’s a villain member of the small town that will use the information about Jenna and Zach to destroy everything if he gets his way. A cute, touching and fun book to enjoy.

A fun lighthearted romance.

Jenna Davis has found herself in a predicament. She told her friends she had a boyfriend and now they want to meet him. So, Jenna asks her brother’s best friend, Zach Taylor, to be her stand-in boyfriend until her friends leave Paradise Key. Since Zach is currently not able to do business at his shop or live in his apartment because of a sink hole and sewer line break, Jenna offers him her guest room and use of part of her store in return for him pretending to be her boyfriend. Zach has had a crush on Jenna for a long time so it won’t be hard for him to play the part. But once he starts, he decides to use the situation to try to convince Jenna that they should be together.

I enjoyed everything about this book. A friends to lovers story is always fun, but add in a lie that brings the couple together, and that makes it even more fun. I liked the author’s writing style and all of the characters in the book; Jenna’s best friends and family and even Zach’s mischievous kitten named Flipper. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in the Paradise Keys series and learning more about Jenna’s friends.
