The House on Mermaid Point

Ten Beach Road, Book 3

By: Wendy Wax

Narrated by: Amy Rubinate

Maddie, Avery, and Nikki first got to know one another - perhaps all too well - while desperately restoring a beachfront mansion to its former grandeur. 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 'n' 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.

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....

Critic reviews

"[ The House on Mermaid Point] will be hungrily devoured by readers." ( RT Book Reviews)

Nice easy summer beach read.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

yes, already have. Fun series - rather predictable, but fun to follow the characters. I listen to audible while I walk or sit out at the beach and this just fits the mood perfectly.

What did you like best about this story?

Even if I was not closely paying attention, I could easily follow the story without missing anything. Plus I love home remodel and learning about a woman growing and finding herself and female friendship. My friends and often meet at the end of the day and drink, we have added the "one good thing a day" toast.

Read and loved the entire Beach Road series!

I started at Book 1 and read the entire Beach Road series. Loved it all! Just enough romance without being near-porn as so many books are today. Great storyline. I want to stress how important it is that this series be read in order. The characters are meshed and each book builds on the previous one(s). The narrator did the Southern accents almost perfectly. Maybe a little OTT (which I'm sensitive to, being from the South, and knowing how easily Southern accents can equal ignorance on perception).

Love it! thanks

interactions between the characters are heartfelt and endearing! new challenges add strength and build character. leaves me wanting to hear more!

Ending ??

I didn't like the ending sure it ended well but I wanted more for Madeline

Love this series every book so far!

I loved the story, the excitement, the heartfelt moments, adventure and it was written very well.
