The Aspen 2-Million Winner-Take-All by John Morris
Like this book on many counts: the golf, how he just falls into financial gain and his so easy going life style.
Morgan inherits the other half of the apartment complex when the owner dies. He is able to rent it out and a hot chick rents it with her little dog.
The dog gets on his nerves with the constant barking. She is to be a lawyer but he wouldn't be able to prove what she does for work as they don't talk much.
The building is falling apart, electricity is so old it needs a major upgrade. When he is away on motivational good worth trip her dog dies when Morgans friend drops the weed pot from the balcony hitting the dog.
He is being sued for killing the dog so he has a few choices: get the $1 million she wants or fall in love with her so she'll drop the suit. He is in touch with other golfers who know of a competition for $2 million and he wants to enter so he and his friends daughter, Debbie who was just released from the hospital head south to try to enter the golf competition.
I've never seen so many calamities in a book, i found them hilarious after a while. Just when you think nothing else could go wrong it does and then some.… (mehr)

Want a book to laugh your way through? This is it! The Aspen 2 Million……is one of the most amusing stories I think I’ve ever read – and that’s saying something. Morgan, God bless Him (and, believe He needs to!) has been accused of several very bad things by his next-door-neighbor, Risa. Let’s see: He killed her dog (well, not really); he set her house on fire (nope!), he made the roof on her side of the Chalet Sepp collapse (not even close). The sum total of the list is that she is suing him for a load of money he really doesn’t have. Thus his participation in the Aspen 2 Million…… golf tournament.
Morgan’s best buddy and lawyer Justin convinces him he will lose and lose badly if he fights the charges, bogus though they may be. Morgan has three choices: Make Risa fall in love with him; blackmail her with one of her deep-dark secrets; become an over-night millionaire. None of these are likely to happen so Morgan, self-help guru that he is, decides he needs major improvement in his golf game – and quick.
Add to this his 2 ex-girlfriends, Risa’s psychotic cousin Robbie 62 other golfers in the tourney and the fact that somehow Morgan and Risa actually have kind of fallen in love. Not that anyone cares at this point. Except Morgan and Risa who starts screaming at him anytime he brings up dropping the lawsuit.
This book is hysterical! Buy it for yourself and a gift or two for beach reading friends. Yep. It’s THAT good!… (mehr)
