But not all is peaceful and serene in Chesapeake Shores, with her estranged mother on the scene and her ex-lover on the warpath. Jake Collins has plenty of reasons to want Bree out of his life, but none of those are a match for the one reason he wants her to stay: he’s still in love with her.
Jake might be able to get past that old hurt if he knew Bree was home to stay, but is she? The only way to know for sure is to take a dangerous leap of faith.
My thoughts: The second book of Sherryl Woods’ Chesapeake Shores series, Flowers on Main highlights Bree O’Brien and her journey back to her family, hometown, true love, and a fresh start. Also looking for a possible fresh start are her divorced parents. Readers will have to wait for the third book to see where Megan and Mick’s future lies. I thought this book was enjoyable and I look forward to reading the next in the series.
In the wake of her shattered marriage, Sarah flees to the coastal town in California where she grew up. There, she revisits her troubling past: an emotionally distant father, the loss of her mother and an unexpected connection with Will Bonner, the high school heartthrob skewered mercilessly in her comics. But he’s been through some changes himself. And just as her heart is about to reawaken, Sarah makes a most startling discovery. She’s pregnant. With her ex’s twins.
The winds of change have led Sarah to this surprising new beginning. All she can do is just close her eyes…and breathe.
I’m a fan of Susan Wiggs’ Lakeshore Chronicles so when I saw that her stand alone novel Just Breathe was released recently in paperback I knew I had to read it. I enjoyed reading about Sarah – how she was able to leave a bad situation and move forward. Sometimes moving forward means going back to the beginning. Sarah moves back to the area where she was raised and the story takes off from there. I really liked Will and his daughter as well as several other characters. I’d love to read a sequel … or the second book in a new series? Just a thought.
The Cedar Cove series by Debbie Macomber reminds me of a weekly television series. I look forward to seeing what’s new in the characters’ lives in each book. Easy and enjoyable (and fast) reads. 6 Rainier Drive was no different. I’ll read another next month.
