A new Melissa Brayden is like a
celebration for us. We look forward to tingles, romance, a few tears, adorable
characters, great dialogue, awesome sexy times, so much love…and a world made
up of support, encouragement, acceptance and all things good. This book checks
all the boxes.
Devyn Winters is a real estate
broker based out of Philadelphia. She is ambitious, cut-throat and totally loves
her work. She loves the grind and enjoys her life. She was the head cheerleader
in high school in a small town, Dreamer’s Bay, but adolescence is not a good
memory for her. Though she had it all then by the usual standards, she felt she
couldn’t be herself and ran away from the town at the first opportunity. Her
sister, Jill, still living in Dreamer’s Bay, is now a fourth grade teacher
there. In the midst of a high-visibility deal, Devyn gets a call saying her
sister has been missing for two days. Devyn drops everything and rushes to
Dreamer’s Bay. One of the first people she meets in the town is Elizabeth Draper.
Born and brought up in Dreamer’s Bay, Elizabeth loves the town and is a ray of
sunshine around. She is helpful and happy running a company doing odd jobs
around town. The two polar opposites find a lot in common and a lot in each
other.
This is a grab-you-heartstrings
romance. Elizabeth is quirky and immediately loveable. Admittedly, she has a very Poppy Jenkins vibe, but still loveable. Devyn is guarded but
completely understandable. The two have fantastic chemistry. One of the things
we absolutely loved was the fact that after a heartbreak, the heartbroken, but
in-love party doesn’t immediately take the heartbreaker back at the first sign
of apology. The heartbreaker has to work her way back – and that is exactly how
it should be.
Recommended? Sure.
