Key West: Hot in the City, Book 3The key to sun, sand, and sin is total surrender…
Hot in the City, Book 3
Carrie Marsh is on her Key West honeymoon—alone. After discovering her fiancé fooling around with a bridesmaid on her wedding day, she figures the trip will help her clear her head and move on. But she doesn’t expect inspiration to appear in the form of a tan, sexy boat captain ready to introduce her to the island’s legendary, free-spirited debauchery.
Carrie isn’t the first beach bunny that hard-working, harder-playing Chris McCann has partied with, but peeling away her innocence to find her inner bad girl affects him like no one has before. Her sexual awakening burns hotter than the Key West sun, melting his resistance and incinerating any hope he has of eeping their relationship casual.
All too soon, Carrie’s return to reality is a plane ride away and neither of them is ready for the fantasy to end. But Carrie has a business to return to, and Chris’s livelihood is on the island. And besides, Carrie is just beginning to recover from the wedding that wasn’t, and Chris isn’t a settling-down kind of guy. So it only makes sense to leave the sun, sand, and sensuality of the island behind. But can she walk away from her hedonistic week with Chris without looking back?

Key West Short Stories - Part 1Written by local Key West writer Island Joe. These three short stories are based upon true stories. This book contains the short stories - Plane Crash in Key West, Her Last Seven Days in Key West and My Key West Hurricanes. Books set in Key West.Plane Crash in Key West - Writing and reading this short story still gives me goose bumps. Based upon a true story in Key West, I cannot say enough times, how lucky my family was on the tragic day this happened.
I’ve never been one to wish anyone bad luck, just so I could benefit.
To this day and the plane crash happened years ago, when I drive by where the plane went down, I am overwhelmed with grief for the family and especially the lone survivor. It truly breaks my heart.
For me the lesson learned from this story is life is very fragile. It teaches you lessons whether you live or die. Some lessons are just harder to learn than others.
Her Last Seven Days in Key West - I mainly wrote this short story for my children. They were young when we lost their mom and my wife of twenty-six years. I just want them to know a little more about her. I especially want them to know just how strong and unselfish she was in life and how strong she remained even as death knocked at our door. Then, I let some friends read this story and they really pushed me to share it.
So if you ask me what this story about, I will tell you –
This short story is based upon a true story. Everyone dies in life, but sometimes it matters how you die. Some die in fear, others face the inevitable and accept their sealed fate. Ruth knew her time had come for her to leave this world. But even as death was knocking at her door, she remained strong, and always put her family first. This is a story based upon her last days on earth, how she chose to die and how she lived.
My Key West Hurricanes - Here Island Joe makes fun of himself for some of the dumb things he has done during Key West hurricanes. A funny fast read.
