Play with the bad boys…Take away the entourage, the bad attitude and the bling, and Tre Monroe was everything Jen St. George had ever wanted in a man–he was handsome, rich and he knew the kind of loving she needed. But her hip-hop, playboy neighbor lived hard, and she had no time for that.But don't take them home!Still, there was more to him than just the facade. Yet, Jen didn't know if she could risk her heart to a man who moved so fast. She'd have to teach him to enjoy slowing down and taking his time. Especially if she made it worth his while….

DEAR JENNA ADVICE COLUMN

The Flamingo Beach Chronicle

Dear Readers,

Love sneaks up on you when you least expect it. And believe me, I’ve kissed enough frogs to know that not every one is a prince! Just because a man is tall, dark and sexy, and fabulously rich, doesn’t mean that he’s all that.

Take my next-door neighbor Tre Monroe. He’s a hunk, he makes good money (he even drives a Porsche), but the man is a D-O-G. Could it be that his playboy persona hides the soul of a romantic?

Keeping it real,

Jenna

P.S. Perhaps you can teach an old dog new tricks!

To Emily Martin with heartfelt thanks. You’re the best unpaid assistant a woman could ever hope for.

Dear Reader,

Welcome to Flamingo Beach, where the living is easy. Nothing ever changes here except for the population.

If you’re young and single, Flamingo Place, the fancy new condominium, is where it’s at. You’ll need to be over thirty though, and you can’t have children. Plus your income needs to be in a high bracket. Of course you could lie about that.

Flamingo Beach has just about everything to keep a body happy. We have restaurants, churches and beauty shops. Our inhabitants are friendly—notice I didn’t say nosy. We also have a florist. Yup, the mayor’s son and his lover are partners in a florist shop.

That, by the way, is how this story came about. Jen, the new advice columnist at the Chronicle, used a word to describe our florist and people got ticked. D’Dawg, a hot radio personality, jumped all over her, and the two went at it. Rumor has it they’ve since made up.…

If you’d like more information about Flamingo Beach, write to me at P.O. Box 25143, Fort Lauderdale,FL 33320, or e-mail me at mkinggambl@aol.com.

Don’t be strangers now. Come down for a visit!
