A light hearted story. Perfect for a relaxing read.
I really enjoyed this romance. I voluntarily chose to review it. I’ve given it a 5* rating. I enjoy this author’s work and this book did not dissapoint. Both the hero and heroine are a little bit broken from life’s experiences. There is a little bit action and some romance. A very uplifting story.
Nicely done, sweet-heat level. Well-developed characters and great world-building.
Awesome book
Longing for Forever is book one in the Sunset Bay Romance series. Adam and Rosie’s story hooked me from the start. I enjoyed it so much, and I find myself thinking about it still. Looking forward to more in this series. I highly recommend this book!
A quick read but such a tender story! Adam Sinclair is a sensitive trauma doctor who is grieving the loss of a ten year old patient. His new next door neighbor, Rosie owns Bake Your Day. Rosie is still recovering from near death with cancer and has determined to be a positive influence to others. You’ll enjoy the humor from Rosie’s older friends and a nursing home wedding! Adam and Rosie are wonderful characters in Longing for Forever! I recommend Longing for Forever by Debra Clopton to anyone who enjoys contemporary romance. I received a complimentary e-book from the author. This is my honest opinion.
A spinoff of the Windswept Bay series, this first book in Sunset Bay is a wonderful clean and sweet romance.
The story belongs to Doctor Adam Sinclair, and bakery owner Rosie Olsen.
He’s back home after the death of a patient he feels responsible for, and Rosie, new to the town, has moved there to start her “new” life.
Both have had life-changing incidents that have made them take a look at their lives . While one lives in darkness, the other one spreads sunshine.
As Adam and Rosie develop a friendship , both are hesitant to take it further .
Will Adam move forward and realize Rosie might be “the one” or will guilt keep him from taking a chance?
This is a story that is at times heartbreaking, and at others heartwarming. The complex characters will touch your hearts, and the secondary characters promise to keep you entertained.
Looking forward to more stories in this series.
I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
What a fantastic start to this new series which revolves around the Sinclair Family in Sunset Beach. In this story we get to know Adam Sinclair who has wanted to be a trauma doctor since he was a little kid. But how will he cope with burn out and losing a young patient? Will he find the answers at home?
Enter Rosie Olsen, owner of Bake My Day bakery, and who has a sunny disposition. And who just happens to live next door to the cottage that Adam has just purchased. Is it by chance that he found this cottage or was there a little matchmaking at play?
Love the range of emotions you feel reading this story, the humor, Seymour the pelican, and watching the development of the relationship between Adam and Rosie. Can’t wait for the next book.
I love this author’s series Windswept Bay so I knew the Sinclair cousins of Sunset Bay would be just as amazing!!! Adam is trying to come to terms with pain in his past. Rosie is trying to finally live life and her past pain. Her name is so appropriate for her. She makes me smile. Their first meeting is pretty funny. Throw in a matchmaking mom, siblings that want to see these two together and great chemistry – and how can this not be an awesome romance?!!!!! I can’t wait for book 2.
Longing for Forever (Sunset Bay Romance Book 1) by Debra Clopton
I enjoyed reading this heartwarming story about 2 neighbors who were trying to overcome things from the past. The matchmakers were persistent and had a bit of help from his family. It took a bit of time and then Adam and Rose could see they had liked each from their first visit caused by a pelican. Wonder if that thieving pelican was a matchmaker in disguise?
Oh, this book was such a wonderful romance and a great beginning to a new series! I loved learning about Adam and Rosie’s backstories. It helped me understand what both of them had dealt with over the years. And it made me appreciate their newfound attraction to each other even more.
The author did a good job in this novel of introducing Adam’s family members and the people of Sunset Bay. I am looking forward to seeing Adam’s siblings find their happily-ever-afters in future books. This story made me wish I could visit this oceanside community in real life!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
Longing for Forever by Debra Clopton
Sunset Bay Series Book One
Doctor Adam Sinclair had lived his dream. He left the small town of Sunset Bay and had become a trauma doctor. He loved working under pressure and stress. Until Chicago. When something didn’t go right, Adam blamed himself. Left. And now, he’s back home and trying to decide his next step.
Rosie Olsen had a “rosy” outlook on life. Always happy and cheerful and out to cheer others up. Her bakery, Bake My Day, was her place to spread love and joy through coffee, muffins, and other goodies. Life was great.
Rosie’s sunshine was just what Adam needed in his dark world. Now, he just had to decide if he could stay…or if he was going to leave again. Great story. Looking forward to Adam’s siblings’ stories. This Sinclair family are cousins to the Windswept Bay family.
