Blame It on Rio
“She's the hottest thing on the beach. She's also his best friend's daughter!”
Matthew Hollis is man on holiday in Rio with his best friend. Both men have teenage daughters with them. When Matthew falls for his best friend's amorous daughter named Jennifer, they embark on a secret, if slightly one-sided relationship.
