When two hearts get broken by different set of occurrence, can they still find love? Apparently… they do.
I loved this 12th book’s story line. Some parts of this of this story brought tears to my eyes. I loved the hot & steamy scenes. I liked Shane’s character. I felt sorry & I was happy for Shane. I liked Katie’s character. I thought Katie was very strong for all she’s been through. I felt sorry & I was happy for Katie. My heart broke for Maddie & Mac. I was happy for Tiffany & Blaine. I was happy for Sydney & Luke. I loved the ending. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. Great job Ms. Force
Half way through this series and still loving it.
I feel like I’m part of the McCarthy family. Such a rollercoaster of emotions as I follow the characters of Gansett Island, tears of joy, tears of sadness, laugh out loud moments, good times all round. This is Shane McCarthy and Katie Lawry’s story and it is a perfect read. Perfectly romantic, perfectly sweet, perfectly sexy, perfectly sad, just perfect.
I always love visiting Gansett Island.
I have read many of the books in this series and I truly love Gansett Island and its inhabitants. Once again a romantic tale of two people who have experienced some of the traumas of life but remain hopeful and are able to open themselves up to the possibilities of the future.
I really appreciate the opportunity to catch up with the other characters of the series and how their lives are progressing.
Love the Gannett island series, brilliant reads
I loved this book. It drew me into reading the whole series!
Loved this book. Love the author
Love Marie Force!!!
Owen’s sister meets Katie’s brother and with the help of a meddling grandma, and in spite of an over protective brother sparks fly. He helps Katie overcome an abusive past which resulted in fear of commitment and she helps him overcome a really ugly divorce that resulted in the same fear for different reasons. Along the way Marie catches up us on all our favorite Gansett island friends and neighbors. The authors well honed knack for dialogue and character interplay make the reader feel like he or she is one of the gang. This is a stand alone but there are a lot of references to past stories. It won’t detract as there is enough info to keep the reader in the know but reading the series is best.
I’m conflicted about this book. I liked Shane, and I loved the way he was with Holden. I was surprised considering the way he was so upset about his divorce, that he would fall so fast for Katie.
I was also surprised that a 32 year old woman who had NEVER DATED would do the whole instalust/instalove thing with Shane. If she had only been a 32 year old virgin, it wouldn’t have seemed so strange. The whole never dated, never been missed situation seemed like it would have taken a bit more then three days to succumb.
There were a couple of very sad moments in the book along with an unexpected twist of two. As usual, pretty much the entire Gansett Island clan made anI’m conflicted about this book. I liked Shane, and I loved the way he was with Holden. I was surprised considering the way he was so upset about his divorce, that he would fall so fast for Katie.
At first, I thought Katie’s reaction to Shane’s situation with his ex was over the top, but then I remembered she had never even dated, so, how would she know how she was supposed to feel? She had no experience in which to compare.
It was not a bad read at all, it seemed especially gentle. I’m not sure if that is the right word. In the previous book, I got a sense of Shane being more of an alpha male. Not so much in this one.
I won’t go into the other couple’s situations because it would end up being one spoiler alert after another.
