Mary Kay Andrews – Summer Rental Giveaway

By

A few weeks ago, I opened my mailbox and found a book from our friend Mary Kay inside…

And like all of her books, I could not put that sucker down! Read the whole thing in three days!

I kept telling myself I should slow down and just read a certain number of chapters per day- but I couldn’t do it. I just had to know how it ended! It’s about three childhood friends from Savannah (Julia, Ellis and Dorie) who spend a month at a tumbledown beach house called Ebbtide on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Their plan is to recapture the friendship of their youth, but things don’t go quite as easy breezy as planned. It’s jam-packed with humor, intrigue, suspense and a few steamy Summer romances too!

I couldn’t help but envision the “Nights in Rodanthe” house the whole time I was reading it…

(Did’ja hear they moved that house so it wouldn’t get swallowed up by the sea? It’s available for rent now too!)

Summer Rental hits bookstores on June 7th, but Mary Kay is signing two copies for two Lettered Cottage readers this weekend, so if you’d like to throw your name in the hat, just leave a comment on this post and we’ll randomly select two winners at noon (Central Time) on Sunday, June 5th. And in addition to the book, each winner will receive a set of Mary Kay’s recipe cards and an “MKA” beachy bumper sticker. Good luck!


PS- The painting on the home page of our site today was created by Donna Robertson, and if you missed Mary Kay’s “Summer Rental Essentials” guest post the other day, click here after you leave a comment! Also, in case anyone is interested: Page and Palette Bookstore in Fairhope, Alabama is hosting a “Read It & Eat” with Mary Kay at Tamara’s Downtown on Friday, June 10th. Mary Kay will lead a discussion beginning at 1:00pm over a lunch at Tamara’s, followed by a book signing at Page & Palette. Event tickets are $35 and include admission to the Read It & Eat, your lunch, and a hardback copy of Summer Rental. Tickets available at Tamara’s Downtown and PageandPalette.com!

    I just happen to be looking for a book to escape in for a few days! I hope I win!

    I have never heard of her so would really like to get acquainted with her books…looks like fun!

  12. Jo @ To a Pretty Life

    Oh, I need a nice summer read! Unfortunately, I can’t read it at the beach, although it’s 3 blocks from my house. My son would drown himself if I was trying to read 😉

  17. Esther

    Oh- I’d love to win!! I’ve read all her other books and have been waiting for this one to come out!

  20. Robin

    I have read all of Mary Kay’s books after my sweet sister introduced me to them. I would love to have the new one for my beach trip in two weeks on 30A!

  22. Tracey C in NC

    Would love to add this to my beach bag for our annual trip to the Outer Banks (Ocracoke specifically) of NC. Thanks for the give away!

  23. Harbormom

    I put Mary Kay’s new book on my “reserve” request list at the library when I read about it on your site yesterday, but I’d love to get one signed by her! Going back to the beach for the 4th of July, and this would be a perfect addition to my beach chair and umbrella!

  25. Donna

    Please sign me up, it was you Layla that got me interested in Mary Kay’s books, but I am having trouble finding them locally. I live in the Okanagan in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. So I would truly love a copy!

  29. Teresa

    OMGosh, I would love to win this book. If I don’t, I will be buying it. My all time favorite place to be is the outerbanks. I have seen the house from the movie just before they moved it and it was indeed washing away. You couldn’t even get up close to it.

  30. Gena

    Oh pick me! This would be a terrific birthday present since June 5th is my birthday! Thanks for the giveaway!

  32. Amber

    Nothing better than a good book. I can’t wait to try all of her books. Thank you for doing the giveaway.

  34. Amanda M

    I love that movie, Nights of Rodanthe. That home is just gorgeous! It’s weathered look and bright blue awnings are just magnificent!

  35. Kristen

    That would be the perfect win for me. I’ve got 2 vacations planned to 2 different states and beaches in July. Sounds like this book would be the perfect read on a beach, you know to fully get into the characters! 😉

  37. SammaMichelle

    I’ve read ALL of her books and I just can’t ever put them down. Hissy Fit had me laughing OUT LOUD!!
    this would be great to have!!!!

  40. Little Brick Ranch

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE that house from Nights in Rodanthe!! Just looking at it makes me want to go to the beach!! I could use a good summer book right about now!!

  45. Chrissy

    Yes please, I would love to win a great summer read. I’ve got a vacation to grandparents planned late in the summer, so I can read and not feel bad about ignoring my children! Because I can’t put a good book down till it’s done. Thanks for the lovely giveaway!

  47. Linda Vandenberg

    I went to library and there are already 6 holds for Summer Rental! So I got The Fixer Upper and read in 2 days and am starting on Deep Dish…Hope I win!

  49. Sherry

    Just finished reading “Savannah Breeze”. Would love to add another of Mary Kay’s books to my summer reads!!

  50. Cheryl
