The New Year got off to a bang with some great reading before the insanity of the Spring semester began. The first completed book fulfilled the requirement of reading an audio book for the Booklist Queen Reading Challenge 2023. Off Plan is the first installment in May Archer’s Whispering Key series.
Mason Bloom has accepted a position as a doctor in an upscale resort in Florida after the demise of his marriage. At least, he thinks he has accepted this dream position! The job is in Florida and he will be paid, but Whispering Key is not a resort at all. Unfortunately, it seems to be the place that time has forgotten. Upon his arrival, while everything else is going wrong, Mason encounters the most annoying man he has ever met in Fenn Reardon. Add in a community with no hope for growth and an inexplicable obsession with buried treasure and you have a formula for a nightmare. But it is in this nightmare that Mason discovers that sometimes when things go Off Plan you may just happen to find friendship, happiness, and love.
Off Plan is a fun read, but it is not for the faint of heart. As an audio book, the romance and lust is rather intense. Let’s just say that I was very glad that no one else was in the car while I was reading on my long drive to Texas. I definitely would have blushed!
