My Review:
Such a cute second chance romance! This is the first book that I have read by this author. I really enjoyed the story line of this book. It really breaks my heart that Elaine and Justin missed out on so much because of some miscommunications.
I loved the vibe of Cape Knott! I want to vacation there! I did enjoy the characters but I felt annoyed that Elaine didn't learn from her mistake of jumping to conclusions of her youth. She should have confronted Justin the second time around instead of running again.
The book did feel rushed in some parts. I would have loved to see more of their story once they finally reconnected - hopefully it will continue in the background of the next book of the series.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
