Except I didn't come back here looking for love. My estranged father is dead, and because of an unexpected inheritance, I find myself learning the truth of everything I lost when my mother moved us away.

Through it all, Ethan's right by my side. And with every day that passes, he's helping me to see that coming back to Dogwood Cove could be the start of the life I've always dreamed of.

    This introduction to Dogwood Cove sucked me into a world I didn’t want to leave! Ethan Monroe, now the mayor of this quaint small town, is blown away when his sister’s childhood best friend comes to town. Summer Harris has always held a special place in the hearts & memories of the Monroe siblings, & her return home is both unexpected and welcome. After many years apart, I loved how they were able to pick up just like they’d been friends all along. True friendship doesn’t die, & I loved the way that a whole town was willing to step up to help Summer make her late father’s dreams a reality. But the way that Ethan went above and beyond to make sure that Summer was cared for, & watching their love for each other blossom was absolutely perfect. Even with dramatic truths being unveiled, the overall feel of the entire book just had me all warm & cozy. If you love small town romance, hallmark vibes, and undeniable chemistry, this intro into the world of Dogwood Cove is for you! And don’t worry, there’s lots more where this one comes from. Audiobook Review: Heather Firth & Grayson Owens’ performances were *chef’s kiss*. Their portrayal of both Summer & Ethan were on point & just drew me in.

    A story of forgotten childhood memories. Truths and lies mixed up to be sorted out all in a picturesque little town where truths are revealed near the open ocean and rocky beachfront shoreline. Perfect read about friendships, love, trust and finding out what’s important to and for Summer.

    Good from page one to the end. Thank you and I will be getting your next book too. Also, thank you for a good ending, so many books now just leave me on the edge of a cliff and that is so unsatisfying.
