Descripción editorial
Travel writer Allie Sparks has one goal: to find the story that will save her career. So here she is, visiting her bestie on picturesque Crescent Island—with sun-warmed beaches, the briny smell of the ocean, and rumors of a secret astrologer-matchmaker who guarantees love. Of course, Allie doesn't believe in any of that stuff. If anything, she'll prove it's a total scam.
Ryan Parker believes in love—just not right now. He's focused on expanding his family's barbeque business, finding investors, and keeping his too-big Great Dane puppy from jumping on everyone, including his sister's pretty, whiskey-eyed best friend. Besides, falling for a tourist is definitely not in his astrological forecast.
Allie is doing everything she can to resist the charm of the town and its beauty, not to mention her attraction to Ryan. But there's a lot more happening on Crescent Island than anyone knows...and when her story goes to print, this tiny, close-knit town might never be the same.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The beauty of Maryland's Eastern Shore sets the stage for love in the sweet first Crescent Island romance from Baker (the Sweetland series). After travel writer Allie Sparks's editor takes her to task for her overly negative writing style, Allie agrees to try for a more positive review of her next destination: tiny Crescent Island, Maryland, where Sofia Parker, Allie's best friend from college, happens to live. Luckily, Allie is immediately charmed by the friendly locals, especially Sofia's handsome brother Ryan, who is trying to secure investors for the family's barbecue restaurant. Soon, Allie's grown accustomed to the antics of Ryan's Great Dane puppy and been welcomed into the Parker family fold, which is so unlike her own austere parents, who frequently express disappointment in her career choice. But any relationship she and Ryan have will inevitably become long-distance, making both reluctant to commit. The laid-back island atmosphere is the real highlight here, the perfect setting for a breezy summer romance. Readers will be eager to return Crescent Island.
