    When I get the chance to review a book my one of my favorite authors for a blog tour, I jump on it and count my blessings. Add to it the story being a small town romance and I’m all in. Thankfully, I loved this story and I’m looking forward to reading more about the denizens of this town.

    Something I appreciate in this story is the fact that Meredith deceased husband was a great guy and wonderful dad. Too often the deceased spouse in a book like this is portrayed in a less than kind light. Or, once the widow starts to fall in love again, they start to remember the deceased spouse in another light. I’m glad the author decided to show that you can love your first spouse and still fall in love again. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.

    Cam is hilarious, the way he tries to hold back but can’t help but fall in love with Meredith’s little girl, Sophie. It’s not that he has a dislike for children, he just hasn’t ever had the opportunity to interact with kids very often. Some people are just naturals with kids, and Cam is one of them. It’s adorable. Of course, it also goes a long way of softening Meredith to him. But that’s not his intent. All of the relationships in this story really happen quite organically. Cam and Meredith as well as Cam and Sophie.

    This is a beautiful story of finding love again. Not only that, but Meredith and Cam also learn to follow their hearts instead of overthinking everything and trying to make everyone happy to their own detriment. Added bonus, I was swept into the scenery and felt like I got to spend some time at a seaside cottage while I was reading this book.
