Sophie Lawson should be enjoying her sister’s wedding day. But nothing could have prepared her to see the best man again.
After her mother became bedridden and her father bailed on the family, Sophie found herself serving as a second mother to her twin brother, Seth, and younger sister, Jenna. Sophie supported her siblings through their college years, putting aside her own dream of opening a bookshop in Piper’s Cove—the quaint North Carolina beach town they frequented as children.
Now it’s finally time for Sophie to follow her own pursuits. Seth has a new job, and Jenna is set to marry her college beau in Piper’s Cove. But the destination wedding reunites Sophie with best man Aiden Maddox, her high school sweetheart who left her without a backward glance.
When an advancing hurricane strands Aiden in Piper’s Cove after the wedding, he finds the hotels booked to capacity and has to ask Sophie to put him up until the storm passes. As the two ride out the weather, old feelings rise to the surface. The delay also leaves Sophie with mere days to get her bookshop up and running. Can she trust Aiden to stick around? And will he find the courage to risk his heart?

My thoughts:
It’s been quite some
time since I have read a book by Ms. Hunter, but this one kept catching my eye and
I’m glad it did. This was such a lovely
story with well-developed characters, ones you really waned to get to know. I loved the setting of Piper’s Cove and of course
the bookshop.
Sophie Lawson is selfless,
putting the needs of her siblings before her needs and wants. The story of Sophie is such a sweet but
emotional read. I rooted for her to see
her dreams become a reality and for her to find the happiness she deserved. This is a fantastic story and one of my favorites
penned by the author. A perfect summer
read for the beach or for just sitting on your porch enjoying a nice sunny day.
I received a copy of
this book from the publisher through Netgalley.
