Pump It Up
What begins as a quiet walk along scenic A1A in Flagler Beach, Florida quickly becomes a near death experience for vacationing Dave Ryan after he witnesses something very bizarre.
Ex-Navy SEAL Ike is enjoying a quiet evening with friends, drifting peacefully off the Florida coast. Things take a turn toward surreal when Ike suddenly has to rescue a man thrown from a nearby boat and left to drown.
Ernie Boudreaux makes his living preying on people’s vanity and insecurity by offering back room cosmetic procedures. He will also go to great lengths to protect his operation…up to and including murder.
And then there’s Saffire…the mysterious link to Ernie’s past returned to settle an overdue debt.
Ike will do whatever it takes to protect his friends…Ernie will not forfeit his cash without a fight and Saffire wants a pound of flesh – preferably Ernie’s.
The result is a high stakes free-for-all with several lives and a lot of cash on the line.

Another terrific, fast-paced thriller starring Ike and Brewski saving Flagler Beach, Florida! Tim Baker has created a very good series of books full of intrigue, action and humour that will keep you turning pages long into the night. Very well written with recurring characters so real and well drawn that you'll want to read the rest of Tim's books just so you can hang out some more with Ike and his friends.

Pump It Up was fun and whimsical. You have the bikers, the average Joe, the cross dressers and the Doctor turned rogue. The good guys run around town trying to catch the bad doctor and still save their friends. This book was a fun, light read.

The bad guys were bad, though not always competent. The good guys were fearless though not always on their best behaviour, but still I cheered them on. The storyline was cringe worthy and kept a steady, busy pace that kept me turning pages.
This book was pure fun and excitement, just what I needed right now.
