Rocky Point Reunion by Barbara McMahon is an addition to the other Rocky Point books and a great read!
Zack Kincaid and Marci Winters were set to marry and live their Happily Ever After until the night before the wedding when Zack leave to chase his dream of becoming a race car driver…
Now years later Zack returns home when his brother needs his help and he knows that his priorities have changed while away. When he runs into Marci again after all these years can he convince her that he knows what he did was wrong and show her that he has changed so they can get the second chance at a HEA??
Rocky Point Reunion by Barbara McMahon is another feel-good romance by McMahon, picking up where Rocky Point Legacy left off, although it is a stand alone read.. Zach Kincaid is home, he says for good. Pretty much everyone else doubts it. Marcie is happy running her restaurant, having gotten over Zach’s last minute cancellation of their wedding so many years ago. Zach’s brother Joe and his fiancée, Gillian are in the midst of moving Gillian from Nevada to her home here in Rocky Point so they have left Joe’s seven-year old daughter in Zach’s care…for weeks…totally out of his element. He needs help and of course, Marcie loves Jenny and so helps him out of concern for her. Can there be a future for them?
Barbara McMahon writes Christian Romance. Does that mean she doesn’t write a compelling novel with good characters and realistic plots that keep readers turning the pages? It certainly does not. Rocky Point is a pleasant little town but not without its problems and problem citizens. It’s not the life for everyone, though. We met Marcie in the previous book as well as Zach, for just a moment but here we got to know both of them much better. Mostly what we discovered is good but McMahon’s characters are not without their flaws. Life isn’t necessarily smooth for her characters but generally things work out for the best. People find God and one another. What’s not to love? I recommend this book on a day a reader needs something uplifting. You will find what you need in Rocky Point Reunion.
I received a free ARC of Rocky Point Reunion. All thoughts and comments contained herein are my own.
Marcie & Zack were engaged until Zack broke it off the night before their wedding. He’d received an offer to race cars in Europe & couldn’t pass it up. He knew Marcie wouldn’t want to leave Rocky Point. Now that he’s back, he realizes he still loves Marcie. She’s stayed put, purchased the diner & has made a success of it. Their chemistry is still there. Will they find a way to be together or will he go back to racing & Europe?
This was a nice sweet read. I enjoy the town of Rocky Point. The small town atmosphere & the close knit relationships add to the story. Jenny & Sean add an emotional depth that I did not expect in this story. There were several diverging plot lines that kept the reader interested & involved. This is a great story & a good addition to the series.
Marcie owned the cafe in town. Coffee and latest gossip was on the menu. Zack, ten years since she had last seen him, the lounging, the sound of his voice, He had a chance at his dream back then and he took it, racing in Europe. For her she never wanted to leave Rocky Pointe. He wanted to apologized , she was always busy at the annual picnic at the beach.
Coming home Zack reconnected to the Lord, helping his brother, and being kind to his father.Learning to help others, the fatherless teenager
Marcie wonders could she step out in faith, she trusted God, and this seemed the direction she should take. Seeing a white picket fence around his family home, now his, she had the answer.
A story that centers on a small town, everyone knows one another, the plans, the hurts, with faith and their church. Beautiful story of being welcome back to the town and people, while learning to step out in faith.
Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
This is very much a Christian story, and one that takes us back to Rocky Point. This time, the story belongs to cafe owner Marcie Winter and Zach Kincaid. If you read the previous story, Rocky Point Legacy, you met his brother, Joe Kincaid.
Marcie and Zach were HS sweethearts who were about to get married until Zach called Marcie the night before the wedding and told Marcie he couldn’t get married. He leaves town and a devastated young woman .
Ten years later, he returns home to help his brother. Now a famous Gran Prix race car driver, he wants to make amends. But past hurts are hard to forgive , especially when promises were broken in the past. Will they get a second chance, or will the past hinder their HEA?
It’s a story about faith, love, friends , hope and home.
