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!

    Heading for the beach for two weeks, but first to the library to grab a few Mary Kay Andrews books!!
    Love finding a new author.

    I really love Mary Kay , and would love to have this signed book. Please put my name in….Thanks!!!!!

  15. Susan

    Would love to add this book to my growing collection of “beach ” novels. Love MKA’s books, and I read them fast too.. as her books transfer me to being like a “fly on the wall” and I am “there” and have to get to the “end”.
    Thanks for offering the opportunity to “win” MKA newest book.

    I loved Savannah Blues and have been hooked ever since. Can’t wait to read her latest.

  20. Cathy A

    I need a new author to read! I tend to find an author and then read all of their books and then move on to the next. Literary OCD?

  22. Kathy M.

    This would be great reading for our July beach trip to Dauphin Island. Would love to win so I wouldn’t have to buy it.

  23. Penny

    That sounds like a great book to read while laying on the beach 🙂 I’ve heard a lot about this author but I’ve never ready any of her books…think I’m going to have to pick one up. You might want to check out Jennifer Crusie…she’s a wonderful author too. Right now I’m reading “Agnes & The Hitman” Its a murder/mystery/comedy-romance.

  27. Elizabeth

    Love her books (especially The Fixer Upper). Can’t wait to read Summer Rental.

  30. Jillian

    Love Mary Kay’s books and I’ve read them all. Every time I think I have a favorite, I remember something from one of her other books and then I’m confused again. Looking forward to Summer Rental and a signed copy would be even more special. Your blog is great!

    I would love to read that book, I can see it now … Lying in my hammock, breezes blowing, reading a great book … Heaven!
