She’s waited a long time for her second chance at love… trying to find her way. Taking the job as lighthouse keeper on Gansett Island was the best thing she could’ve done for herself. On the island she’s found amazing friends and a wonderful new life. There’s only one thing missing and that’s romance. She’s recently asked her new friends to fix her up with some of the island’s more eligible men. While her friends are busy arranging dates for her, Alex Martinez comes to cut the grass at the lighthouse.
He’s given up everything to come home to Gansett to care for his ailing mother…
Alex has gone from cultivating orchids at the US Botanic Garden in Washington to cutting grass on Gansett, like he did as a teenager. Running the family business with his brother while managing their mother’s dementia requires Alex’s undivided attention until a sexy lighthouse keeper shows him there’s much more to life than work and endless obligation.
During a scorching summer heat wave on Gansett, Jenny and Alex take comfort in each other, and what begins as a hot summer fling quickly becomes something much more lasting. But will it hold up beyond the heat wave when real life intrudes on their sexy interlude?

Interesting read, steamy, but a little rushed in Jenny and Alex’s story while other Gansett Island couples were brought back into focus… a lot. After a while I began to lose interest in the book until Jenny and Alex were once again the main characters.
Sigh!! I am so in love with this series. Alex is so sweet. Man he has a lot on his plate with his mom. Paul and Alex know how to take care of their mother. Jenny lost her fiancé during 9-11. She deserves to be happy. Again, we get to visit with our favorites. That’s what I love the most about this series. You never lose the happy feelings that you had with each of the previous books. And let me just say that some of those scenes were HOT!marie, you never disappoint!
This book was a very interesting book with good characters and a very happy ending.
It was ok
Marie Force is always an author to write a good book . The series is good.
Love all of Marie Force’s books. So real you feel like you know the characters personalay!
I really enjoyed the characters and the family dynamics. I’m a sucker for romance and happy endings.
Romantic story, a bit far fetched but I love Marie Force and enjoyed this romantic story.
Love all of Marie’s books!
this book was great,i read it in one day.
Good read
Good read
I thought that this book was amazing because it really took you on an emotional journey! To overcome the insecurities of this scary world and have another chance at love… with someone who can understand and work through those insecurities and fears makes this book one of the most romantic and sweet books out there!
While the author probably doesn’t bring anything new to the table with this book, the presentation is such that the book is interesting, unique and difficult to put down. It’s just a very enjoyable work … and I’m not an easy reader to please, so this had to be both good and entertaining. I was in it right after the ‘first tomato was thrown.’ Read the book … you’ll get the drift on this.
To enjoy this book, one would have had to have read a large number of the books in this series. Alex Martinez is a complex character. he is a sharing and caring person to his mother, brother and his woman, Jenny. However, he is extremely jealous of anybody that comes near Jenny.
I love this series and the island.
Hi really liked the characters and storylines in the book. Jenny and Alex started out with her being mad at him when he woke her up from a dream with his lawn mower. Reading how they got to know each other and work through problems that came up. You also got to know the other couples in the island.
Delightful, sometimes sad, but a lovely story
Didn’t finish – too much graphic sex for an old lady.
Too many F words…story OK. A little over the top!!
