New York Times bestselling author Jude Deveraux’s eagerly awaited third novel in her blockbuster Nantucket Brides trilogy continues the spellbinding saga of the Montgomery-Taggerts, set on an island steeped in beauty and unforgettable romance. Life is anything but perfect for Hallie Hartley, a young physical therapist who has given up nearly everything — even her love life — for her beautiful … for her beautiful blonde stepsister, Shelly. Though Shelly’s acting career has never taken off, she has certainly perfected the crocodile tears to get what she wants — which all too often means Hallie’s boyfriends. When Hallie arrives home early from work one fateful day, she makes two startling discoveries that will turn her life upside down: Not only has a mysterious relative left Hallie a house on Nantucket, but Shelly has been trying to steal it. Desperate to put her troubles behind her, Hallie impulsively flies to Nantucket.
New trouble, however, has already settled into Hallie’s guest room in the form of her newest client. Hallie is told that wealthy, young James Taggert has injured his leg in a skiing accident. Assuming that the devastatingly handsome man has led a charmed life, Hallie is surprised by Jamie at every turn throughout his recovery. His attentions draw her out of her shell — but he has a dark secret, and is tormented by nightmares that only her presence can keep at bay. She suspects there’s more to his injury than he’s letting on.
On this gorgeous island rich in history, magic is everywhere, even in Hallie’s own backyard. As Jamie’s relatives arrive for a wedding gala, something wonderfully unusual is in the air. There’s an aura of romance — enhanced by a pair of matchmaking ghosts and a colorful island legend. In their own little corner of the world, Jamie and Hallie unravel the timeless secrets of their own hearts, and a very special story of True Love destined to last forever after.

Whenever I need to escape into a good book, I can always count on Jude Deveraux. I love her Nantucket Brides triology, but my favorite is Ever After, the story of Hallie and Jamie. It’s such a perfect blend of characters and unlikely circumstances that make me want to read it again and again. I just hope Jamie’s cousin Raine eventually gets his own story, too.
I read a lot of books over eight hundred in the last seven years and Jude Deveraux is one of my four favorites. I love her books, but this book really touched me, so much of my own life reflected in the pages. I have red it at least five times and would recommend it to everyone! Happy reading!
Great series

I always enjoy reading Jude Deveraux. I love her characters and the story lines still surprise me… sometimes I know where the story is going- or THINK I DO…. but then she surprises me. Great read especially if you are a Jude Deveraux fan

I call this a great “on the beach” book. Great to read while you are relaxing on the beach.

Love Jude Deveraux. Her characters are believable and the reader becomes involved quickly. I have read her books from the very beginning! Never disappointed.
Great series. Want more like it.
A wonderful, easy book to lose oneself in. Everyone can find something they can identify with in this beautiful story.
I Love Love Love Jude Deveraux books! I have never read a disappointing or bad book from her! I love how she develops the characters, you fall in love with all of them! If you are having unbid day, I promise you will no longer have one after reading her wonderful characters and entertaining books! I can’t say enough good things!!
This is my first Jude Devereaux, and it is most definitely not my last!
This author’s prose is polished, her plot well woven, her main characters true to themselves yet growing, her secondary characters delightful, and her setting inviting to this soon-to-be Nantucket tourist!
Contains a few tasteful sex scenes, I don’t remember any swear words, and no violence. It does have ghosts!
delightful story –loved it
I love everything Jude Deaveraux has written. Have been reading her novels for over 30 years. I’m a romantic at heart and she writes for that part of me.
