Take away the entourage, the bad attitude and the bling, and Tre Monroe was everything Jen St. George had ever wanted in a man -- he was handsome, rich and he knew the kind of loving she needed. But her hip-hop, playboy neighbor lived hard, and she had no time for that. Still, there was more to him than just the facade. Yet, Jen didn't know if she could risk her heart to a man who moved so fast. She'd have to teach him to enjoy slowing down and taking his time. Especially if she made it worth his while....
Although the book is fairly light reading, the author uses many clever twists and turns to keep sexually-attracted neighbors Jen St. George and Tre Monroe from realizing they are really enemies in the on-going battle of radio-show personality ratings vs. newspaper advice columnist ratings. At times, the reader can even imagine this turning into an episode of "I Love Lucy" with all its dire consequences. The secondary characters of a meddling mother and in-your-face best friend provide interesting sidelights. Cynthia Breeding, historical romance author
A delightful and enjoyable read :)

A light fun story that commanded my interest from the start and had me in hysterics before too long. I couldn't put the book down The author brought this story to life with detailed character development and vivid descriptions of settings and scenes. Instead of reading a story about Flamingo Beach and its residents, I felt that I could be the proverbial fly on the wall, able to see and hear all. I can't wait to see what Flamingo Beach has to offer next...
Funny! Funny! Funny!

I found Flamingo Place to be a totally captivating read. I laughed so hard my sides ached. Hard to believe Flamingo Beach is a fictitious town in "somewhere" Florida. I loved the little map on the inside created by a real designer. But humor aside, columnist Jen St. George and love interest, radio personality (I guess that's what they're called these days,) Tre Monroe are a match made in heaven. As for the assistant, Chere, what a hoot! She reminds me of Lula in the Evanovich novels. Bravo on character development and a story that moves. I can't wait for the sequel.
