About the Book:
After losing her child, Ginger Dysart was lost in grief. But since moving to Thunder Point, a small town on the Oregon coast, Ginger is finally moving forward. Her job at the flower shop is peaceful and fulfilling, and she's excited to be assisting with the Lacoumette wedding.
In spite of her lasting heartache, Ginger is swept up in the pleasure of the occasion. But the beauty of the Lacoumette farm and the joy of the gregarious family are ruined by an unfortunate encounter with the bride's brother, Matt. Struggling with painful memories of his own, Matt makes a drunken spectacle of himself when he tries to make a pass at Ginger, forcing her to flee the scene in embarrassment.
But when Matt shows up at the flower shop determined to make amends, what started out as a humiliating first meeting blossoms into something much deeper than either of them expected. Everyone around them worries that Ginger will end up with a broken heart yet again. But if Ginger has the courage to embrace the future, and if Matt can finally learn to let go of the past, there may still be hope for a happy ending.
My Comments:
This book is definitely my favorite in the series and one I'd definitely recommend. Robyn Carr is turning this series into a multi-threaded soap opera and I for one can hardly wait to read the next installment. We met Ginger in the last book, One Wish (click for my review) in which she was a depressed young woman who didn't know what she wanted out of life. Now, she is working in Grace's flower shop and seeing a nice guy (though he did not seem so at first). Both Ginger and Matt need to own up to their parts in the problems in their old relationships before they are ready to move on to a new love.
The serious thread in this book dealt with Grace's mother, who is disabled (and dying, I suspect, eventually, but not in this book) with ALS. As a New Orleans resident, I've admired our former Saint, Steve Gleason, who has been determined to make something of his life, even if it will be short. Grace and her mother have a lot of baggage to work through but they are making progress. I suspect the nurse, a single mom in difficult economic straights, will be a character in a later book.
I'd like to thank Katie at Little Bird Publicity for providing a complimentary review copy. Grade: B+
