Kick off your shoes and fall in love in Barefoot Bay! Destination wedding planner Gussie McBain needs a man…specifically, a wedding photographer. Just her luck that the shutterbug she runs into is more used to snapping pictures of glamorous models in couture gowns than brides in white lace. But Gussie’s never been one to let bad odds stop her from a good gamble, so she asks for a favor she … never dreams superstar TJ DeMille will actually grant.
Tom DeMille lives his life exactly as he pleases–always alone. In fact, he’s got that motto tattooed in Greek on his arm. But when Tom is suddenly saddled with guardianship of his twelve-year-old niece, he’ll lose more than his freedom if he can’t figure out how to take care of her. Then an alluring young woman with pink hair and a sassy mouth shows up at his door, and he agrees to do the unthinkable…photograph a wedding in exchange for some help with his niece.
As they work together, Tom begins to take down the walls Gussie has erected around herself to discover a truly beautiful and tender woman he knows he could love. But will his own heartache and refusal to lay down roots prevent him from giving Gussie the family life she craves…or could she be the one woman who can finally break his vow of solitude?

very enjoyable, exciting
Very cute. I liked Gussie. I remember it four months later. TJ was good character and the relationship he had with Gussie and his niece was nicely realistic. Gussie’s career is not realistic. I hate when people just plug and play careers. TJ’s fight to keep his life from changing did not ring true with his behavior towards Gussie.
My very first audiobook, & I loved it so hard, I nearly lost control of the riding mower several times while listening. It also gave me the sniffles a couple times…but in the very best way! <3
Loved this story! The characters and story line were wonderful!
Great read
Fresh, emotional and entertaining. A sexy, fast-paced, and downright addictive read. I devoured every word. This is a witty, lovely story with an original and engaging plot and characters that capture your heart. Well written and a joy to read.
The book was very well written. I enjoyed the storyline because it was so realistic.
Oh what was not to love about this book! Loved both main characters and especially loved Alex. Three people with scars either outside or inside. The concept of creating your own family was so well done. And lastly Tom’s visit to Greece and the realization he comes to there was just perfect. Definitely shed a couple of tears with this one, but worth it. And I really want to know what a blue raspberry flip stick is. Never heard of that candy.
I loved the whole series of the barefoot brides!
Loved the entire series
Predictable, but well-written and very descriptive. Summer fun!
Not exactly a page turner, but it was a nice read. Enjoyed the characters
Well written and with some interesting twists. the happily ever after doesn’t just fall into their laps, they have to work for it. That’s so much more satisfying in the end. The view, played out by the characters, on what constitutes beauty and the hang ups women have about body image in our culture are very well done.
Great mysterious love story.
This book was amazing!!! Very easy to read with very relatable characters. I loved reading it. If ou want romance, wit and truth, pick up The Barefoot Series
The whole series is very good.
More “meat” than the typical romance.
Sweet! I enjoyed the story and relationships!
Excellent read! Loved the story and the characters.
Slow-moving…
