Thirty-six-year-old Nina Spark has done something crazy. After knocking back a night's worth of wine, she's bought a house in the Caribbean. Off the Internet. At 200 a.m.
Committing to the most impulsive decision she's ever made, Nina leaves her cheating ex-husband behind, puts her teaching career in New York on hold, and moves to Pineapple Cay - a land of white sand, cloudless skies, and turquoise waters.
Her new life is off to a lovely start she's got a private beach, a handsome neighbor, and a cushy travel-writing assignment. Even Barry Bassett, a greedy land developer eager to push her out to make way for condos, can't darken her sunny new outlook.
But when Barry's wife goes missing, along with a priceless jeweled necklace, Nina finds herself at the center of the island's biggest whodunit. With her quirky but fiercely loyal new friends, Nina is determined to solve the mystery - so both she and Pineapple Cay can get back to easy living.

I do like it so far. (Still reading it) Would never in a million years have picked this to read. Just a coincidence...my cousin's name is Judy Coffy! The similarity in names between her and this author made me curious! I have to say that Nina, the main character here, is the cleanest character I've ever read about. She obviously has a clean fetish as she either goes swimming in the ocean or takes a bath/slower on nearly every page! If she doesn't watch out she'll soon look older than her years because of her shriveled wrinkly skin! One bath too many, I guess! .... Well, I'll continue reading now and then get back to you later. I'll tell you then how I liked the book! bye for now...OK, I'm done. She only took two more baths...showers, actually. She must have gotten involved in more important things and bathing slipped her mind! Good, silly book! Glad I took the time to read it. I've preordered the next one which comes out in a couple weeks. Light and entertaining!
Oh, My... The next book came, I started reading it and was bored to death with STUFF/filler! Don't bother reading it!

Sunbaked Pineapple Cay Stories Book 1 (Audible Audio Edition) Junie Coffey Angela Dawe Brilliance Audio Books Reviews
What can I say that already hasn't been said - I loved this book! At times it was laugh out loud funny, witty, charming and just plain fun. Nina and her new gang of friends get into all kinds of misadventures as she gets accustomed to living on a tropical island. Now that I've finished it I'm going through Coconut Cay withdrawal. This book was recommended by because of my love for all things tropical. I'm really glad that I stopped to read the first page because after that I couldn't put it down. I really hope this becomes a series - I'd love to read more about Danish, Pansy and I'd especially like to see what happens with the budding relationship Nina has with Ted Matthews. You know that you really like a book when you start thinking about what actors would be perfect for the TV series. This book is a light and fun read. One that I can read over and over just for the fun of it.
I loved this book. As soon as I finished it, went on the pineapplecay.com web site so I could look for the next book. The book begins w/Nina, in her NY apt. on line & finds a cottage on the beach in the Caribbean. She had just caught her husband cheating on her so she decides to embark on a new life by buying the cottage. She meets an interest group of residents on Pineapple Cay, finds she's moved into a beloved teacher's cottage & makes friends w/the Realtor, the 'hunky' next door neighbor, young, Jack-of-all-Trades mailman/yoga instructor/bartender, the vicious, entitled developer w/the bubble-headed, cheating wife....I really enjoyed the story line, characters & scenery. I look forward to the next book.
I received my copy of Sunbaked via a Goodreads giveaway, which in no way influences my review.
After an October of reading horror and thrillers, I needed something light and breezy to cleanse the darkness from my soul. Sunbaked seemed to fit the bill.
I laughed out loud a couple times during the first chapter, which had our heroine, Nina Spark, impulsively buying a house over the Internet. Nina had discovered her husband and his assistant having an affair, and decided a change from New York City was in order, so she settled for buying a beach house in the tropics.
Once in her new home, Nina quickly encounters some of the locals and makes a pair of mismatched friends (her real-estate agent, and the isle’s triple-threat mailman/bartender/yoga instructor), and an enemy who dislikes her before she even arrives because she bought the property he has been eyeing.
When her enemy’s wife goes missing at a party, Nina and her friends embroil themselves deeper into the mystery than the local (hot) police chief would like. Despite being warned to stay away from the investigation, the trio find themselves deeper and deeper into the mix.
I enjoyed the main characters in the book, particularly Nina and Danish (the aforementioned mailman/bartender/yoga instructor). Some of the secondary characters felt very cookie-cutterish, but I feel that is almost the norm for these easy-breezy mysteries.
I also enjoyed the break in tension from the heavy reads I had finished prior to starting this. At no point in this book did I ever feel a real sense of menace or threat. Everything was played tongue-in-cheek.
I wasn’t blown away by the book, but would have given a higher rating and more freely recommended it if it hadn’t been for a few issues. One having grown up in Maine and apparently lived most of her life in New York City, I felt it very odd that Nina would automatically know the names of tropical plants she saw on the island, and fish she saw while snorkeling. It felt very much like the author inserting herself into the work at that point, and I felt it distracted a bit from the story.
Another issue was with editing. There were a couple of instances where I just froze and had to ask, “Really? Did that just happen?” For example, in one scene, Nina is cleaning with “lemon householder cleaner.” Um. Since she is the homeowner, and therefore the only “”householder” in the scene, I had an odd visual image of her applying lemon cleaner to her body.
This is the Internet and I am sure there are probably fetish sites that show such things, but this guy isn’t interested, thank you.
There were one or two other similar issues, which I don’t think should be present in books that have already seen print, either physical or electronic, and which caused me to lower my rating to 3 out of 5 stars.
I would recommend it, with reservations, to those who can overlook a handful of editing errors, and those who are looking for a light-hearted comedic mystery with entertaining characters.
This novel is the first in a series of two published books at the time of this review. I do plan on reading book two in the future.
What a great cozy, set in the beautiful island of Pineapple Cay. The characters are an eclectic bunch and all have interesting stories on how they arrived on the island.
Nina, the main character is looking for a life change after her husband has an affair and they divorce. Buying a beach cottage, on Pineapple Cay at 200 in the morning starts a new life filled with mystery, new friends, an Oceanside cottage, romance and much to discover about herself. When a valuable necklace goes missing, along with a bully millionaires trophy, the adventure begins.
The descriptions of the island made me feel like I was lounging on the beach and sipping a cool drink. The mystery was fast moving and tied up nicely (you'll see what I mean) in the end. I also liked the fact that Nina is getting herself back on track emotionally, before rushing into romance.
I am looking forward to the next book! Now pass me that margarita and hand me some sunscreen .....LOL!
