Welcome to The Buoys, a West Coast fishing lodge where love comes in with the tide and where each O’Donnell brother proves to be a great catch!Free agent Liam O’Donnell isn’t ready to give up his major league career and move back to the family fishing lodge, but until his agent can find him and his fastball a new team, that’s exactly where he finds himself. He needs to help his brothers bring The … help his brothers bring The Buoys back from the disaster their late father left it in or they’re going to lose everything.
Kate Hadley has made her fair share of mistakes, but none have ever been quite as bad as the mistake she made with Liam O’Donnell. And now she’s stuck with him and his crazy family at their rundown fishing lodge in the middle of nowhere.
Sure, he’s even cuter than he was ten years ago, and sure, he might be knocking himself out trying to make things right, but if he thinks for one second that he’s going to win her over again with those stupid dimples or his ridiculous Kelly Clarkson songs, he’s got another thing coming.
Kate learned that lesson the hard way and has no intention of making the same mistake twice because she knows that this time it’ll will cost her everything she’s worked so hard to build.

I never thought I’d love a book that included this much fishing but I did! Much like Kate, the heroine who is sent to help get a fishing lodge back in shape, for her investment-oriented employer. Too bad she has no idea one of the owners is her ex… Funny, poignant, and so Canadian.
Great writing. Loved the story. Was exciting funny and loving.
Considerable editing problems like missing words or totally wrong words. Throws the reader off. Otherwise, it’s a good story with strong characters. Mild on sex and some use of F word.
Major league pitcher Liam O’Donnell is currently out of play due to an injury, and his career is in limbo, so when home beckons he decides to pack a bag and head there for a while to help out around the family lodge. The Buoy’s is their father’s legacy, and the boys have done all they can to keep it afloat, but they are having minor money troubles, and a developer is ready to pounce and take it from them, but the boys are determined to turn things around. Every thing seems to be going according to to plan until Liam learns that the person sent to take the lodge off their hands is none other than his ex-wife. Seeing her again is something he did not plan on, and the minute he sees her, the regret hits him like a ton of bricks, and has him wanting to make amends. Leaving her has been something he has always regretted, and now that she’s back in his life he realizes he made a big mistake, and wants a second chance at love with her, but she isn’t there for love…

Once she steps off the plane she is quite certain she is in way over her head, but she has never been one to shy away from a little hard work, and the reward from this job is something she can’t pass up, so she knows she just has to suck it up and get the job done… no matter the cost! But when she finds out that in order to get her way she has to face her ex-husband and convince him and his family to sell she begins to feel her resolve start to falter. Marrying Liam ten years ago in Vegas was the biggest mistake of her life, and she has paid for it everyday since, being hurt by him is something that she has never really gotten over, and the idea that she will be working with him now is completely unsettling. But she soon realizes that she is going to have to get over her ill feelings towards him if she wants her promotion, she can handle this right?
Having been a while since my last book by Ms. Drewry, I had forgotten just how much I enjoyed reading her stories, but after paragraph into it I was quickly reminded of the literary treat her books provide! The story line was very engaging and had me flying right through the pages in search of what I hoped to be a well deserved second chance at love… and I found that and so much more!! The chemistry between Liam and Kate was undeniable, their relationship was intensely passionate, and filled with lots of steamy action that left me blushing a few times! I thoroughly enjoyed my time with these two, and I wholeheartedly look forward to future visits to this series, and the opportunity to get better acquainted with Liam’s brothers!! I highly recommend you get your hands on this book, you will not be disappointed! It is a VERY satisfying read, that will leave you with a happy heart!!
