Close to being evicted, this Surfer's Paradise Meter Maid needs money, and fast. Lucky for her, he's rolling in it. Not so lucky is the homicidal blonde he's married to doesn't like sharing.
Brenda's life isn't easy. Growing up with parents who were as larcenous as they were stupid, she spent her childhood fending for herself and life hasn't changed a whole lot since.
Currently without a man gullible enough to fund her lifestyle she's one step away from living on the streets, and it's this that sees her walking the streets as a Surfer's Paradise Meter Maid. The upside of the job is that the gold lame bikini she wears as a uniform attracts men like moths to a flame.
Enter Hilton Taylor, man about town, seemingly rich and definitely gullible. Unfortunately she hasn't even managed to 'top up his meter' when she runs into his wife. Whether it's the pills Hilton's wife pops, or the alcohol she washes them down with, she's Brenda's worst nightmare; and one that could prove fatal.
Will Brenda snare Hilton, or will his wife succeed in introducing her to the bumper of that late-model Mercedes she drives? The odds of Brenda surviving, or worse having to get a proper job, aren't looking good.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:
I went into this book knowing it was only a short read. I knew that when I bought it. That doesn't mean that I'm happy about it being so short! GIVE ME MORE! I want more stories about being a meter maid wearing a gold bikini. I want more close calls. I want more disastrous liaisons. Damn it, I wanted this to be a longer book. It's too good to be so short. Funny, nostalgic, but too short... ;) 5-STARS
This book was a crack up! It's a good quick read leading into the That Seventies Series, which I will definitely be checking out! It tells the story of Brenda, a gold-lame bikini clad meter maid who wants the good life. She has an interesting way of going about obtaining that, but it makes for a great story! A married man, a wife who doesn't like to share, car chases, nudity, and a stand-off - what more could you ask for? 4-STARS
Lots of laughs from the Antics of a poor young woman who wants the good life and has a unique idea on how to get it without doing boring jobs. Life doesn't go to plan though. A fast paced short read. Can't wait to read the rest of the series. 5-STARS
