Hmm... My favorite "beach" author is Jennifer Weiner ("Good in Bed," "In Her Shoes", etc.) Or, have you ever read the Janet Evanovich mysteries ("One for the Money," etc.)? Very funny, light; good beach reads...

A fourth vote for Janet. I also like the Number One Ladies Detective Agency series. Far from steamy but a fun, gentle read with great descriptions of African life and culture. The Mitford series is also a favorite with me. Again, far from steamy, it's gentle and enjoyable. It centers around a Catholic priest in a small town and the folks in his congregation. No heavy religion at all but God is brought up throughout the books. Both series should be easy to find at the library or bookstore as they've been out for some time.

Have fun at the beach!! I'm jealous!

Well, since everyone suggested the Janet Evanovich ones, I may have to look at those.
