    About this ebook

    After Andrea Wolkowicz abandons corporate life to help care for her sister, she quickly wears out the want ads in their rustbelt hometown. Time to be her own boss.

    Every mogul knows the best idea is an old idea with a new twist. So Andi proudly revives her father's business: an old-fashioned car wash staffed entirely by bikini-clad women. That ought to get trafficand bloodflowing on Grosvenor Street!

    This gutsy gimmick soon has the whole town in a lather, and not necessarily in a good way.

    Scandalized citizens are howling, neighboring businesses are worried. But straitlaced grocery-store owner Pete Guthrie is definitely intrigued. He knows it's hard to run a small business in a big-box world. To him, Andi's brains and bravery are as alluring as the bikini she calls business attire.

      The blurb for this book paints a picture of a light-hearted chick-lit book, but the book is surprisingly less amusing than expected. Though there were many strong elements of the book, ultimately the lackluster romance undermined the story, and i just never felt a real connection with Andi or Pete. They seemingly ended up together because neither had a better option in their small town which doesn't make for riveting fiction. Not a bad summer read but not as captivating as I had hoped. 3.5 stars.
    • 5/5
      The Bikini Car Wash by Pamela Morsi (Paperback - Jul 1, 2010) This is the second of Ms Morsi’s novels that I have read, and I have enjoyed this one as much as I have her last one - “Red’s Hot Honky -Tonk Bar”. Ms Morsi delights readers with her smart women characters that are stuck in situations that may break less their less strong sisters. And throwing in the hot, sexy, and hot (did I say that already? Well it bears repeating!) understanding man doesn’t hurt matters either!In “The Bikini Car Wash” we meet Andi Wolkowiucz who has returned to the small town of her youth to take care of her father Walt and specially challenged sister Jelly… She tries to find a job and in this economy we know they are few and far between. Luckily her dad just happens to still be in possession of his old car wash. And all it will need is some sprucing up and some clever marketing ideas to make a go at it. And boy do her ideas throw the town into a tizzy! Women washing cars in their bathing suits! That’s enough to have this Puritanical town thinking of riding Andi out of town on rails! Now throw in the sexy Pete who is the owner of the grocery store that sits next to the car wash and watch the sparks fly. (Watch for a scene with Pete and what he does to catch glimpses of the lovely bikini clad ladies from the window of the grocery store) With a wonderful and at times hilarious story, engaging and very real main characters, complicated yet entertaining secondary characters. A moving subject that can bring you to tears at times and then spin you around with laughter…Ms Morsi has another winner on her hands.
