Synopsis

Passionate and willful Honey Santana is taking rude, gullible telemarketer Boyd Shreave and his less than enthusiastic mistress, Eugenie Fonda, into the mangroves of Florida’s Ten Thousand Islands for a gentle lesson in humility. What Honey doesn’t know is that she’s being followed by her obsessed former employer, Piejack, and her still-smitten ex-husband, Perry, with their protective and wise-beyond-his-years twelve-year-old son, Fry. And when they all arrive on Dismal Key, they don’t know the island is occupied by Sammy Tigertail, a failed alligator wrestler trying like hell to be left alone despite the Florida State coed clinging to his side. South Florida has never been quite so hilarious as it is in this outrageous tale of one woman’s single-handed quest to eradicate greed and enforce civility in her corner of the Sunshine State.

The humor is adult. A mystery that makes you smile.

I enjoyed the spin on relational coping of both the characters who live on the free flow edge of mental health and those endeared to them. A great tale to ponder. The base adult humor did dive rank in sections but only made the incredible more plausible. Excellent voice on audio book version.

I enjoyed Nature Girl with its quick wit, crazy plot and great sense of humor. It's a very entertaining read ala Tom Robbins.
