Description

The hardest word in the world isn’t “no.” It’s “yes.”

She’s avoided men all her life…

Growing up with an abusive father, Katie Lawry learned a thing or two about men and has made a conscious choice to stay far away from them. Until the day of her brother Owen’s wedding when she’s rescued from nearly drowning by Shane McCarthy. With everyone who matters to Katie assuring her that Shane is one of the good guys, she feels safe to give in to the attraction that simmers between them. Katie has waited a long time to take a chance on love, but is Shane the right guy for her?

He’s ready to move on…
More than two years after a painful divorce, Shane has a life on Gansett Island that makes sense to him. With his father, sister and beloved baby nephew living close by and a job that he enjoys, Shane is content if not entirely happy. One thing he knows for sure is he’s tired of living in the past. Spending time with sweet, sensitive, sexy Katie Lawry makes him feel hopeful, and he might be ready to risk his heart again.

Surrounded by the Gansett Island community, Shane and Katie take an important step forward together, but is their new relationship strong enough to withstand an unexpected challenge?

Enjoy Shane and Katie’s story while catching up with some of your Gansett Island favorites in this latest book in the New York Times bestselling McCarthys of Gansett Island Series!

    I have read all of the Gansett Island books and others written by Marie Force. And I have loved them all but---while this story was good I found a lot of repetition of past books. Repeating the characters and who is related to who and who is married to who and who their kids are. Naming all the characters that are in attendance at events. And also repeating over and over a wonderful place the island is and how everyone takes care of everyone else. After awhile I just wanted to say 'Ok, I get it already'. So for me I think it's time to move on from the island. For those of us who have read the series, we don't need to be backstory over and over again. It was almost half the book.

    I realized today why I love Marie's books so much. With every story, you get the trill and excitement of a new love. The anxiousness, butterfly's, can't wait to see where this goes feelings. This story is a wonderful example of that. Shane and Katie overcome their reluctance to chance getting hurt for the joy of love. I know there is going to be a happy ending and that is what keeps me coming back for more. Thanks again Marie for another heart warming story.

    Loved this! Marie Force has done it again! I love returning to the safe haven of Gansett Island. Always feels like returning home home to family and friends. Nothing better than curling up on the couch with a great book and letting the stresses of my own life melt away.
