But, when a creepy guy grabs her wrist after leering and making suggestive her whole shift she’s had enough and plants one to his nose. Instead of taking her side from being assaulted she 8s fired from hitting a customer. Evidently, being sued is more important than the safety of the workers. Clover and Cody saw the exchange and Clover got one of her tingling feelings on the spot since they needed at server at the restaurant she worked at.

Then Clover proceeds to tell him how it was fate that she hired her. When Clover asks isn’t she cute he responds ‘why would it matter that a server who worked for him was cute?’ Clover responds ‘so we agree?’. ‘What?’ ‘That she works for you.’ How can you argue with Clover’s logic?
When gourmet magazine wants to do a full feature on his restaurant Gabe is not thrilled as focus too much on his private life and single status. Little does he know it could also be dangerous.
This is the final book in the Jetty Beach series and Gabe and Sadie are an amazing finish to such a wonderful story. I love Sadie’s strength and am so sad for what she has suffered. Gabe may be a gorgeous sexy grump, but he is very protective of those he loves. The emotions fly off these pages….terror, fear, lust, love. I loved this book and series and it will definitely be read again!
The Jetty Beach series with Gabriel getting his story told in The Path To You. It’s a great series finale too. Gabe is a man stuck in a rut and so much on the outside. His family and friends have all paired up and married. He was the first to marry years ago but has been divorced for years. Enter Sadie Sedgewick, courtesy of Clover hiring her as a server (without his permission.) This stunning redhead sparks something in Gabe he hasn’t felt in a long time. Sadie is drawn to him and although they seem to hit it off after a bumpy start she’s reticent to cross the boss/employee line. There’s another big problem too. She has a secret she’s reluctant to share but suddenly her past is front and center to haunt her yet again. Only this time she’s not in it alone.
Book 7 of the Jetty Beach series is about Gabe (finally) and Sadie and can be read as a stand alone. It is written in 1st person with dual POV. Readers will gain maximum benefit by reading the series in order as many characters recur throughout the series. This book! If I could give it 10 stars I would.
I have been looking forward to Gabe’s story. He is a perfect hero. He is protective, gentle, kind, creative, funny, and hot. Sadie is running away from a violent past. Readers should be aware that her history my contain triggers for some. I love how Gabe is immediately drawn to Sadie. I loved Sadie’s strength in escaping her past and trying to move forward. I really appreciated how Sadie felt safe with Gabe from the beginning, yet still had moments of panic that they had to overcome together. I felt that this was very realistic. I really loved how Gabe helped her realize that the violence had not stolen her ability to enjoy intimacy forever through patience, caring, and love. His gentleness with Sadie melted my heart, brought tears to my eyes, and will something that stays with me for a very long time. This was a love story I will not forget.
I enjoyed this book. Just not as much as the two that preceded it. I didn’t feel any chemistry between Gabe and Sadie. The added layer of suspense that wasn’t present in the previous 2 books added a little excitement.
is is the wonderful story of Sadie and Gage. Sadie is in need of come care and comfort and maybe some protection as she is running away from a man who is stalking her. She is working at a café to make her way and to hide out when she meets Gabe. Gabe happens to be just the man she was not looking for. He cares about her and protects her. Gabe is the best man ever! I loved his heart and his ability to be both alpha and sweet. It was great to read Gabe’s story as he was such an essential part of this series, in the lives of the other characters; that I really wanted and needed his HEA. Another hit for this author and another great story to read and enjoy for any reader. I would recommend this story and the others in the series as they have not only romance, but heart, depth, and amazing characters. This is the best story in this series and a wonderful way to end it.
Finally, Gabe gets his book and it’s nothing short of amazing!! No longer in the background, Gabe steps up and is in true hero form!! Sadie, that poor girl! Everything she’s endured–the way her family treated her–she could have given up, with no one in her corner, but she ends up in Jetty Beach trying to get through it. In spite of it all, she’s as tough and strong as any woman could be, considering what she suffered. Once these two found each other, Gabe refused to let her go through it alone. He was there for her in a way no one else would. I was touched by this story in so many ways.
