NPR has some great recommendations from independent booksellers that might spark your interest.

Here are some of my recommendations for your pool or beach reading (links are at the bottom):

Bending the Rules by Susan Anderson – light contemporary with a touch of suspense

Burn by Linda Howard – The queen of romantic suspense turns the temperature up a notch

The Beach House by Jane Green – For some reason I love to read about summers on the east coast. No one does family drama like Jane Green.

One Reckless Summer by Toni Blake – This one is on my TBR list. You can’t beat a summer homecoming novel for pure nostalgia.

Breaking Loose by Tara Janzen – Another fantastic romantic suspense author who will take you on an exciting ride.

Shanghai Girls by Lisa See – Shanghai of the 1930’s and two glamorous sisters who struggle to establish a new life in America.
