Joey Perrone is a woman with a mission. She's just been pushed overboard from a cruise liner by Chaz, her scumbag husband, and survived to tell the tale. But rather than reporting him to the police, she decides to stay dead and - with a little help from her friends and a few of Chaz's enemies - instead of getting mad, she's going to get even. Filled with a host of endearingly offbeat characters, and a narrative that is hilarious, romantic and thought-provoking by turns, "Skinny Dip" takes us on a journey through the warped politics of Southern Florida and through the madness created by the human heart.

Just when I needed an amusing and satisfying bit of reading, my cousin dropped off this book at my Mom's. I picked it up and within the first three pages was hooked. There are all kinds of reasons to recommend this book, and you owe it to the Everglades to read it. Truly enjoyable, well-written, and...
I was out looking for a short term relationship, a book “with benefits”, a quick encounter with no long term demands, just a few hours of pleasure. I met “Skinny Dip” in the Goodreads “bar” and who wouldn’t be attracted to a cover with a suggestively unclothed blond beauty in the water. I asked her ...
Chaz, una vera testa di Chaz. Tutto parte bene, le pagine scorrono. C'è l'intrigante salvatore fascinoso e brizzolato. C'è l'amante sempre a disposizione, c'è una laurea immeritata e un lavoro sporco che uccide la natura... e c'è lei, la moglie assassinata che sopravvive e cercherà di vendicarsi. E ...
