Bermuda Phoenix: A Beach Read

by Jo Roderick

What is an author to do when he gives it his all, and it just isn't enough? Head for an exotic archipelago, and pray to disappear into the Bermuda Triangle, of course.

Out of money and inspiration, Andrew decides to walk away from it all to start a simpler island life — or so he planned. While it sounds easy enough, things unravel when a statuesque blonde walks into the Berma Bar.

Just as life begins to perk up, he discovers that he is supposedly deceased. The odd thing is he doesn't feel nearly as dead as one would expect. Now, he is beginning to wish was still alive, but how can he rejoin the living?

With a new romance blooming on the pearly-pink shores of Bermuda, Andrew has an overwhelming life or death decision to make. Emily has a plan to revive the dead, but will it work? Can the reclusive author rise like a Phoenix to reclaim his life, and bask in the gentle arms of love?

It you enjoy Choc Lit, or a feel-good Romantic Comedy with plenty of chocolate cocktails, great banter, and endless balmy days in a picturesque paradise, then the Bermuda Phoenix is your prescription.

Please note that this novel is in British English.

About the author

Jo Roderick is believed to be human — although there is no conclusive evidence — and born in 1969! He proceeded to interpret and analyse the world around him, but never quite grew up.

He was told at an early age he couldn't write so he did anyway. He claims that he can follow the plot of your average dictionary but further admits that he has an odd sense of humour.

He is an architect, amongst other things, and currently resides in Cape Town, South Africa. Toffee, the neighbour’s cat, brings him fresh allergies every day!

[Janet Gogerty · Rating 5 out of 5]

Does exactly what it says on the cover. Plenty of romance and plenty of chocolate; but also a good story that will appeal to readers and writers alike. Islands of all sorts do have an appeal; can you escape to them, how long could you hide on one? I'm sure many authors would happily spend some time perched up in a house with beautiful views over the ocean. But this story also brings adventures and an interesting mix of characters we hope to meet again.

eCopy received from the author in exchange for an honest review.

I've read and enjoyed a few books by this author now and they've all been totally different from each other and totally different from what I usually read. Bermuda Phoenix is the latest book and I might have to say, my favourite so far. It's a romantic comedy/choc lit and seeing as romance in all its guises is my go to genre this book ticked a lot of boxes for me. This might be different to Jo's previous books but the eclectic mix of characters I've come to expect was ever present. This book introduces new characters I already can't wait to read about again and also checks in with a couple of characters I really love from Jo's previous books. Bermuda Phoenix is a romance novel with lots of humour, warmth and just enough angst and drama to make me concerned for the HEA. I think this book has enough different elements for those readers like me that love romance and even those that think they don't!
