Cowabunga Christmas by Anna Celeste Burke hooked me. How can I possibly resist sitting in that lounger, watching Kim and Brien hit the surf and wonder what trouble they will find as they butt into a murder mystery.
Christmas, a tropical beach locale and a dead Santa…Merry Christmas to you.
Cowabunga dudes and dudettes, “Sur’f Up.”
MY REVIEW
Cowabunga Christmas by Anna Celeste Burke has so much going for it…A gorgeous cover, hot surfer dudes and dudettes, Santa, a murder mystery and…
We begin our adventure by jumping the fence around the closed pool at this elite resort and taking a “midnight” swim. I have jumped a fence or two in my time, so I thought this was a good sign.
It’s Christmas, Kim is on her honeymoon with her hot and hunky surfer dude hubby, Brien. Kim was going to learn to surf and she got her very own wettie for Christmas.
They are opposites – He is hard and fast, she is slow and soft. The picture of them, in my head, is my favorite two characters from NCIS Los Angeles, Kensi Blye, Daniela Ruah, and Marty Deeks, Eric Christian Olsen.
Shortly after their pool jumping adventure, a body is found floating in the pool…dead. Oh no, it’s Santa.
We have a double and a triple cross and is there a treasure?
Cowabunga Christmas by Anna Celeste Burke with its easy reading and colorful characters has all the elements for a fun and humorous cozy mystery.
One mystery is solved…but, wait, there’s more on the horizon in Gnarly New Year.
“Cowabunga Christmas – it’s the most epic Christmas anyone could every have. We had one of the most awesome mornings surfing.” From Brien.

Thanks for the kind words about Cowabunga Christmas. I like your choice of actors to play Kim and Brien! They have a bit of the same chemistry between them in the parts they play on NCIS LA, and they both have the “Cali vibe” going on–especially Marty Deeks. Happy holidays to you and all the dudes and dudettes who visit your blog.
The actors just popped into my head as I was reading. That almost never happens and I loved it. Right back atcha for the holiday wishes.
LOL I’m reading this one now, Sherry. How funny. It’s one I plan to share for my Christmas reviews. Glad to hear you liked it. Being southern gals, how can resist a beachy holiday read:)
For sure! I look forward to hearing what you think about this fun story.

Sounds like an interesting mystery… Santa of all things!
This may be a ‘thriller’ type that you could live with for a change of pace. 🙂
