Publisher Description
Fans of Pamela Kelley and Robyn Carr will love this small-town, feel-good romance!
After six years of focusing on her career, Natalie Armstrong craves the peace and tranquility that only Sapphire Bay can give her. But returning to her grandparents’ cottage isn’t as easy as she imagined. No one told her about her houseguest or the unexpected changes in the small town she calls home.
Gabe Lanigan is a former NYPD detective. His new career as a bestselling crime writer has brought him everything he didn’t want—fame, fortune, and a deep distrust of strangers. When Natalie arrives in Sapphire Bay, their unlikely friendship sparks into something he never expected. But he needs to be careful. The real reason he left New York City is closing in fast and Natalie is standing in his way.

Customer Reviews
Intriguing storyline with a few holes.
The quality of the writing is phenomenal in this piece. I felt like I was living in the moment with the characters. I love a good crime meets romance storyline - I’m a sucker for it and the author delivered with this one! The romance was clean and strong… great read. Only think is there were a few holes in the story that could have been easily patched, which I share below. Read at your own caution.
*SPOILERS AHEAD ALERT*
One major hole in the storyline was Natalie’s robbery. I felt this could have been easily linked back to Gabe’s stalker, further developed on its own, or left out all together. I’m not sure Natalie going through what she did in Italy strengthened the connection of her and Gabe or the storyline any more than if it were left out. Either way, I think this was a loose thread that could have been easily tied off with a paragraph of writing, which would make me not feel so dissatisfied.
Another hole I noticed was when reviewing Gabe’s story and creating a timeline, Gabe stated to Caleb and Natalie that he was sure the police didn’t link the book and the events together yet. First, this is highly unrealistic - the first thing a police would look at is a copycat, which they do make that conclusion later in that chapter, but if the three of them think of that, then of course the law enforcement have thought of that possibility also. Second, the dialogue between the three of them makes it seem as though they think the police know the link is there, a page after they just said they didn’t think the police knew! That felt a lot like a contradiction of two thoughts and really negatively impacted the storyline.
Overall, this was a great read with quality romance and a quality storyline. I felt like it was a but underdeveloped, which made me make this a 4/5 stars rating. Overal can’t wait to read the next book In the series because I think this author is highly talented!!!
