"A boat is a hole in the water that drains you dry, but this series fills your slip with laughter, adventure, and romance." ~ Skip Lively, SV Nonesuch

"I can't remember the last time Ilaughed out loud while reading a book but I did with Bahama Breeze." ~ Ann Tatlock, Christy award-winning author of Promises to Keep and many other award-winning novels.

"I love Eddie's humorous tone. I would SOOO read anything he writes." ~ Michelle Medlock Adams, award-winning journalist, and author of countless award-winning books.

He rented a sailboat because all those years ago she had stirred him in the way no woman ever had. His head told him to run—as did several local Bahamian law officers. His heart and a hurricane made him stay.

ANNA FORTUNE is a government intelligence analyst who longs for tropical sunsets, early morning beach walks, and a man bold enough to steal her heart.

SONNY CAY is a large, lumbering toilet paper salesman with the haunting memory of a girl he loved and lost in high school.

ANNA knows the location of terrorist cells, and corrupt politicians and that no man can be trusted with her heart or to love until death.

SONNY knows life is for the taking, love for the making and both end all too soon.

So when Anna is ordered to protect a presidential candidate polling in the single digits on a fund-raising junket in the Bahamas, both get a second chance at true love. Now only the hurricane-force winds of a "Bahama Breeze" can cool the white-hot embers of old flames erupting.

If you enjoy the Bahamas, sailing, and silly romance love stories set in the islands, Bahama Breeze may put a smile on your face and twang the strings of your heart.

If you own a boat or wish to own a boat, odds are you have met or will meet someone like Sonny Cay. In fact, he may be docked in the slip next to you. For this 10th anniversary updated edition of Bahama Breeze, we invited someone special to perform at the throwback shell beach party. You may know him as an "over-forty victim of fate" often arriving too late for encores. May Jimmy rest in peace. :)

From the Author

In the late 80's I bought a sailboat. It was a small thing, barely large enough for two. But that boat launched my "Hard Aground with Eddie" column. The column allowed me to spend a good deal of time sailing in the Abacos and along the North Carolina coast. Much of what you find in Bahama Breeze is based on things I saw, people I met, and places I explored from 1989 to 2009. Over the years my writing has improved. My navigational skills, not so much :)

Hope you enjoy Bahama Breeze. It may not be a Hinckley, but for certain it's in better condition than that first ComPac 16 I owned.

A Seriously Funny Book

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2022

This book caught me off-guard. I expected it to be some madcap adventure that would make me laugh out loud. Well, it was, and I did. Laughs are premium, these days, so any book that achieves this, I consider a good book. It had a rollicking good plot, too, one that you couldn't figure out where it could go next, even if you tried. But wait a minute. Half the reason it was funny was because it seemed to touch on almost everything that has puzzled or bothered mankind over the last hundred years. Maybe even longer. Mr. Jones even brought up some things most of us don't like to talk about. Let me change that. He brought up everything we don't like to talk about.

Of course, it was all through the eyes of his characters, so I didn't take it personally. They made some big mistakes, but -- hey -- everybody does. Some of them, I could say, "Yep, that's the way the cookie crumbles when you let that happen." Because I either knew someone in real life that it happened to, or had been there, myself. In spite of the wild plot and crazy humor, most of what Sonny and Anna went through with their relationships happen to everybody at one time, or another. So, again, I didn't take it personally.

Nobody was perfect in this book (who is?). But when Sonny Cay took one last shot at life with everything he had... well, as kookie as he was, I had to admire him for that. Did it pay off? Hey, I'm not going to give anything away, here, but I will say this. Not only did I start to wonder if some of these crazy behaviors might actually be humanly possible in real life, I started to hope they were. Why, if I looked at myself a certain way, I might even wonder if...

At which point, I realized I was starting to take it personally. Sheesh, how did Eddie Jones do that? The only way I can explain BAHAMA BREEZE is to say it's sort of like Dr. Strangelove meets Jimmy Buffet (that's for all you "oldies but goodies, out there). And while a lot of it was "tongue in cheek, " reading it was a real experience. I would recommend this book not just to people who like a good laugh, but also to anyone who actually likes to think about things. Or even just assumes they do.

I confess, I struggled a bit with this one. The plot felt a bit all over the place, and there were such missed opportunities for some terrific action scenes! The love story wasn't believable, I didn't get to know the characters particularly well, and I greatly wish that the author had put a glossary of nautical terms in the book so that land-lubbers like myself could better understand the phraseology going on throughout the story. This could have been a spectacular action-adventure story, and I'm sad that the plot focused more on dialogue and a music band than on taking down terrorists and the dangers of sailing.

I have received an ARC of the revised version. This is a fun, quick read. The author has an entertaining style and gives each character their own quirky qualities that make this so enjoyable to read. Every time you think you have the story figured out, it changes too, and you're led off on another adventure. I loved it!

Zany Romantic Comedy with a Nautical Twist

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2023

Entertaining story that really resonated not true because it's a screwball comedy, but true to how those of us a little older think, feel, and act. I found the character interaction to be funny and thought Sonny was a lovable idiot. Good rainy day read or to listen to as an audio book with an out loud reader. Definitely would read from this author again.

I enjoyed reading Bahama Breeze immensely! Its refreshingly off-beat, but funny dialogue kept me smiling all the way through the book. And just when I thought I had figured out what direction the next chapter would take, everything changed. I would love to see a sequel to Sonny and Anna's haphazard love story.

: I looked forward to reading this, but was disappointed

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2022

There were things about the book that were alright, and others I wondered about. I’m surprised that this book was released with no formatting, no editing and no proofing, for “limited distribution.” Did the author need outside help from readers to make corrections he should have done himself, or hired someone? Way too many grammar errors, punctuation and spelling errors… made me shiver.

- For the most part the author was descriptive to help the reader envision situations.
- The author, I assume has boating experience.
- The dialogue of the characters was choppy, and too fast.
- I would have appreciated knowing which characters were talking throughout; it was easy to get lost.
- The character Anna, with gray hair, how old was she? And Sonny?
- Where were they originally from?
- Boggs sounds like an ass; like the former president we had, thinking he's god, hiding documents and being a douche bag.
- So, this book was originally written over 15 years ago?
- Much of the humor was, well, meh to me.
- Pg. 18 – the reference to Dr. Phil. I’m wondering if authors shouldn’t get permission to use a famous person’s name. He also used the names of Jim Croce, John Denver and Olivia Newton-John. I’m thinking there is something about copyright laws.
- Pg. 28 – the character, Martinez, (how old is he?) has been linked to several terrorists, which the author lists, and then Martinez is linked (?) to the assassinations of JFK (John Fitzgerald Kennedy – died 11.22.1963), RK (Robert Kennedy – died 6.5.1968), Dr. K (Dr. Martin Luther King – 4.4.1968)
- How old was Martinez when the Kennedy’s and King were assassinated?
- If you’re going to use any foreign languages, put the English version in parentheses directly behind.
- I get the storyline, but geez… I had to skim through a lot of it.

This book would not be at the top of my list for reading, But everyone has different tastes, different opinions, and different genre’s they like, so to each his own. I came close to giving it ** stars.
