Savannah Breeze

By: Mary Kay Andrews

Narrated by: Isabel Keating

""A sheer delight and will have readers laughing out loud by the second page."" —Daytona Beach News-Journal

Southern manners, mint julips, cold-blooded larceny, and sweet revenge collide in this rollicking tale from the delightfully charming New York Times bestselling author of Hissy Fit and Savannah Blues

The Breeze Inn is a place where very classy Southern belle Bebe Loudermilk normally wouldn’t be caught dead. But a brief, disastrous relationship with gorgeous “investment counselor” con man Reddy has cost her nearly all her worldly possessions. All that’s left is the ramshackle 1950s motel on Tybee Island, a “drinking village with a fishing problem.” Moving into the manager’s unit, BeBe vows to make magic out of mud, and with the help of the inn’s cantankerous caretaker, Harry, and her junking friend, Weezie, she soon has the motel spiffed up and attracting paying guests.

But all it takes is one Reddy sighting in Fort Lauderdale for BeBe to drop everything and haul her hastily assembled posse south to participate in a somewhat outside-the-law sting. With a little luck, BeBe might get her fortune back, Harry (who’s looking hunkier every day) might get his boat back, and Reddy might get the prison stripes he so richly deserves.

The Narration is Simply Awful...story is ok.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

No. I didn't pay attention when I purchased the audio book, so it's completely on me that I missed the fact that it was abridged. I won't make that mistake again - I felt like I was missing big chunks of the story. I truly enjoyed Savannah Blues, but the narration on Savannah Breeze is so distracting that I ended up purchasing the actual book just to finish the story. The narrator's impression of Weezie makes one think of a female impersonator. I've listened to other books that Isabel Keating has narrated and didn't find them nearly as impossible to get through as Savannah Breeze.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Isabel Keating?

Lack of Quality Control for Book 2

Ugh, I couldn't get past chapter 5 and I can't finish it. I loved Book 1, Savannah Blue, and couldn't wait to download book 2. The story is a great pick up from book 1, but the reader blew it. Book 1's reader painted a picture of proper women in Savannah with a little grit. The reader for book 2 makes these ladies sound like hillbillies and she doesn't pronounce the main characters name the same as in book 1. Book one BeBe was pronounced "Bay Bay" and book 2 pronounced "Bee Bee". I think Book 1 is most likely a closer interpretation of MK Andrews intent since Book 2 sounds like it's more representative of life in the mountains as opposed to Savannah. Who listens to these books before they are released to ensure consistency?! I can't finish it: epic disappointment - money lost, i bought it, I didn't wait and get it with my credit.

it was OK

The story line was OK but the Narrator sucked She didn't even pronounce bebe's name right

Wish it wasn’t abridged!

I’d read the print version of this book years ago and really enjoyed it, so I was glad to find the audiobook version on Audible. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize at the time when I purchased it, that it is an abridged version. So much of the original story and details were omitted that it hardly seemed like the same book. ☹️ I don’t understand why this book and a few other Mary Kay Andrews audiobooks only have an abridged version while so many of her other audiobooks have the full unabridged version on Audible! To be honest, I’m really not sure why anyone would even want an abridged version of any of Mary Kay Andrews’ audiobooks, since you lose so much of the plot and details in the abridged version. I really hope the folks at Audible will consider providing the full unabridged versions of all of Mary Kay Andrews’ books in the future.

Great story

Thoroughly enjoyed the story. Had a bit of a hard time with the narrator. Eventually got used to her.
