“Another great beach read from Marika Ray.” ~ Amazon Review
I had a nightmare of a childhood surviving the abuse of my father. Though I’ve moved away, his voice still plays in my head, making me doubt myself in everything I do. 
Through it all I’ve had one goal: to become a professional beach volleyball player and prove my father wrong. 
And it was going so well until I met Dean, a gorgeous lifeguard determined to save me from myself. He’s opening my eyes and shifting my focus, when all I want to do is stay where I am, despite the suffocating silence of my empty apartment.
When everything I thought I knew about my past changes, can I handle loving Dean while still achieving my pro career? Or will I lose it all when my father reappears in my life?


REVIEW
Reviewer: Tammi
Rating: 4 Groupie Stars
Brinley is one tough girl but her low self esteem  wouldn't let her see what a fantastic person she was. Her childhood was horrible and left her alone. No friends, no family just an evil, hateful father.
Along comes the "Beach Squad" showing her true friendship and how to have fun.
Then we have Dean and our shy, lonely girl gets a hot bodyguard of her own.
I absolutely loved this story, watching Brinley come out of her shell. Learning her self worth and accepting the love and support of all her friends.
The twist toward the end had me ecstatic!! It gave Brinley something I didn't think was possible, something I thought she had lost forever. 
So glad to see this is a series with more to come. I really like this group of friends.

Marika Ray spends her time behind a computer crafting stories, walking the beaches of southern California scoping out the lifeguards, and making healthy food for her kids and husband whether they like it or not. Prior to writing novels, Marika held various jobs in the finance industry, with private start-up companies, and then in health & fitness. Cats may have nine lives, but Marika believes everyone should have nine careers to keep things spicy.
Marika enjoys writing all types of fiction novels, based on what inspires her. Right now she's working on stand-alone romances in the Beach Squad series, all about California lifeguards and their equally fearless women. Moderate suspense, a splash of humor, and lots of steamy romance...all with the beautiful ocean as a relaxing backdrop!

Fight.
It’s an action some encourage and others dissuade. Since the day I was born, fighting has been instilled into my mind. Regardless of your opinion, it’s something we all do. At some point in time, consciously or subconsciously—either emotionally, physically, or spiritually—we struggle. Many will strive to withstand their battles, but only those who were born to fight will overcome them.
A true fighter lacks weakness. They abstain from carelessness and refrain from trusting their opponents, but most importantly, they never accept defeat.
I am a true born fighter. Each second of every day, I fight. Rip the ones I love most away from me, I kill. If I’ve learned anything from this life, it’s to always expect the unexpected. As long as my heart continues to beat, and no matter the costs, I will be victorious.
