Salt Spring Island Friends #1
California Man
Too shy to love…
Quinn Ramsay is facing the biggest decision of his life, whether or not to sell his hugely successful sports conglomerate. His schedule has been insane for years, an endless series of trains, planes and automobiles. Even so he’s not so sure he wants to give it up. For what, he keeps asking himself. Where would he go from here? What would be his next step?
With those questions in mind, he heads to a friend’s house on Salt Spring, a small island in the Pacific Northwest that promises solitude and uninterrupted time to think and plan.
Not in his plan is meeting Emily Welland, the shy owner of the local bookstore. She intrigues him as no woman has in years—more so when he sees how determined she is to avoid him.
Emily is timid, insecure, and introspective—and she has her reasons. She’s read about Quinn Ramsay, the brilliant and handsome celebrity entrepreneur with the Midas touch, and she’s seen pictures of him in the tabloids, always with a beautiful model or actress on his arm. She knows he walks red carpets with the same ease that he hosts charity sporting events and fund raisers. His glittering California life is the polar opposite to her quiet, safe, and reclusive life on Salt Spring Island. And when he starts to show an interest in her, her initial reactions are disbelief, fear—and panic attacks. None of which she can control.
All of which makes Quinn more interested than ever.

3.5 stars
Intriguing romance with a sensitive side!
The author did a marvelous job building a beautiful and sensual relationship between complete opposite personalities. Quinn Ramsay, a man with a life-altering decision to make, is a handsome, successful multi-millionaire CEO of his own sports conglomerate. In the past he’s been somewhat of a playboy and has been linked to many models and actresses. Emily Welland, on the other hand, leads a very low key lifestyle on an island where she owns and operates her own bookstore. Her history with men has been abysmal and left her so insecure and hurt that she suffers panic attacks.
A secondary cast of delightful and lovable characters, including James, a young boy who is mentally-challenged, is a wonderful addition to this plot. Some of the sweetest and most remarkable scenes are played out through these characters.
A well written, easy-to-read story filled with angst, friendship, humor, and love – for me, that’s a winning combination. Can’t imagine any romance lover who wouldn’t find this a worthwhile read.

This is a sweet romance between two opposites. Where Quinn is outgoing and athletic, Emily is shy and reclusive. Yet circumstances have brought them together, meeting on the small island of Salt Spring. Quinn is at a turning point in his life, trying to make big decisions that will affect his future, and he's not quite sure where his future is headed. Emily is living her reclusive life, with her few friends, contended to let her past heartbreak continue to play on her currently and too fearful to let go. Neither are looking for a relationship, and neither is what the other would expect to be someone they would attract or pursue, and yet, on this small island, fate has brought them together. They will either help and love each other, or leave each other more heartbroken than ever.
I liked both Quinn and Emily's characters. Quinn is a persistent, yet gentle and sensitive, guy. He is starting to realize what he wants and he sees Emily for who she is, not the wall she hides behind. I like his persistence and confidence, yet I also appreciate how the author keeps him humble. His past with women was easy. His new relationship with Emily is anything but. I could also relate to Emily's shyness. It can be such a crippling feeling, plus the added past hurts she suffered made her insecurities that much worse. I appreciate how the author tried to show Emily working out of the inhibitions, yet also showed how easy it was to slip back into her old self. But I will also say that there came a point when Emily was very frustrating. But the author also had some great secondary characters, one of which told Emily exactly what she needed to hear. There were also other elements thrown into the story, showing not only the personalities of the characters, but also their interests and humanity, and it helped to demonstrate how these two initial opposites were really well suited for each other, if they allowed themselves to be.
This is a sweet romance, and a quick, well-edited read, that I really enjoyed. There was one steamy love scene, but otherwise the sexual situations were fairly mild and not overdone. I look forward to reading the next book with Paul and Lynn.

Another one of those meant to be love stories. When Quinn met Emily neither ever imagined that his vacation would turn into a lifetime.

I tried so hard to like this book. The idea of a painfully shy but successful woman catching the eye of a worldly (yet world-weary) man had me all excited for a sweet romance. There are slight spoilers in this review, so be warned!
My problems with it all circle around the characters just not ringing true to themselves. We are supposed to believe Emily is so shy that she can't even speak when people speak to her, especially men. A man she is well acquainted with comes in the muffin part of the stores and she can't even look him in the eye. Yet, we are supposed to believe she overcomes her shyness enough to confront him out of nowhere about him not contacting her for another date after some time. And she keeps throwing herself at him! I got the impression that she's a smart woman, but she also decides she is in love with Quinn after only a few days and a second kiss. That was after the scene where she begs him to have sex with her with no strings attached, too!
Then there's Quinn. I don't know what to make of him. I think we are supposed to see him as a man who has it all and has his act together. He just confused me! Here's a guy who, all his life to this point, apparently can't use the word "sex" without putting the word "just" right before it. But Emily keeps throwing herself at him and he keeps putting her off by telling her she's not ready. Sure seems to me like she is! Oh, and that's another thing. He acts like he knows her mind better than she does and treats her like a child at times. I guess putting her sexual requests off was supposed to make the reader feel he had some moral streak, but after all that teasing Emily he did, as soon as he's back in Malibu, he's thinking all he needs to straighten out his head is a woman to bed. So, he goes looking at a party! Sure, he doesn't leave with anybody, but I still find it rather tacky that he's leading Emily on yet looks for a convenient lay as soon as he's out of eyesight of her.
Other than the characters being a bundle of conflicting personality traits, it drove me crazy how the author would build up exciting events then tells us later how it ended up instead of taking us there. Emily and Quinn go on a romantic getaway. We are there for the buildup -- the convincing her to go, the packing, etc -- only to not get to be there with them. The author lets us know it was romantic later. There's a date to a nice restaurant that there's a buildup for only for us to hear about later. Same with a race. Seriously, it drove me crazy!
I haven't read the other reviews, so I may be the only person on earth who didn't like this book. The writing was fine and besides the occasional error, the editing was good, too. It really was just the multiple personalities of the hero and heroine that left me thinking, "No way would that happen!"

Really 3.5 stars not 4, but I liked it enough to risk the average bumping up.
I just finished this one. I'd put it in the "highly consummable category--ideal for when you've only got a couple of brain cells left to rub together after a hard week.
Emily Weland is a bookshop owner with some ambiguous inheritance that gives her a little cottage, supports her bookstore and gives her half ownership in the bakery next door--enough so that she evidently doesn't concern herself with money with all of the folks she has coming in to run her store while she takes time off willy nilly. She's 28 and paralyzed when it comes to dealings with the opposite sex and with most of life in general. I get the impression that she lives vicariously through the books she reads and the plays she writes. And she seems content enough with the arrangement.
Enter hot California man. Let's let him enter again because I want to watch that. I find it a little odd that he has more character development than Emily, but hey, it's a lovely sight, so I'm not complaining. He's wildly successful, driven and we understand hard parts about his childhood that made him that way. Emily, by contrast, has this mysterious problem with men in her past until the we find out when she tells California man about feeling rejected based on phsycial/sexual issues by her one and only early boyfriend years and years ago. And now, California man and Emily have an instant sizzling attraction--so she decides to use him to get some sexual experience and confidence. He's amenable (are you surprised? he's fascinated with her grey eyes). They do the deed, evidently many times but we don't get to hear much about it. And they fall in love. Over a period of 2-3 weeks. Of which California man travels for at least 1. Yeah, I'm not buying it either.
It felt like the author had a few other ideas that either weren't developed or were mercilessly (and wrongly) edited out of the final version. We almost find out why California man goes from thinking this is a fling, meaninful but a fling nonetheless, and we don't ever see what makes him decide to go all the emotional way. I think if we had, and some more character development for Emily, this could have been a much better story.
That said, I don't have that awful "damn, that's 4 hours of my life I can't get back" feeling. I doubt I'll track down the other books in the series though.

Quinn and Emily are opposites - he's outgoing and sporty, she's painfully shy and "bookish" Neither is ready for a romance, but of course Cupid finds them! Hey, this is a romance after all :)
The characters are well drawn, but I could have slapped Emily around for her shyness, which descended into the pathetic here and there. If it wasn't for her gorgeous looks, I don't quite see why Quinn would bother with her after the first outing, which was a mountain bike ride. However, Emily reveals herself to be a steadfast and determined young woman, so I accepted her occasional stupidity as she overcame her inhibitions. The sex was not over done and I didn't see any errors in the script.
The image of Quinn is the best looking man I have seen on a cover for a long time and that is what attracted me to the book in the first place!
All in all, a fast, pleasant read which left me feeling I wanted more information about Paul and Lynn's romance, hopefully to come :)

3.5 stars. I really enjoyed Quinn a lot. And Emily at first was relatable and my heart went out to her. But when she dumped Quinn I thought she should have been more open and honest, though she eventually was. I felt the same frustration with her that Quinn did. I also thought she needed a better grovel. Quinn made it far too easy for her, but it all fit in with his openness and willingness to put himself out there.
I enjoyed the story of their growing love very much otherwise.

This is one of the best romances I've read this year! Maybe because I've struggled with shyness too, I could identify with the heroine. The characters were tenderly portrayed and the book was very spicy. Especially for a romance written in the early nineties. The author sure knows how to write sexy. Lovely writing style. Amazingly, the head hopping didn't put me off this time and usually it makes me drop a book.

California man
California man
Emmi is a woman whom I could relate to, shy, nervous about love, her looks, etc. she tended to be reserved, until one day a man from California chores into her life. This man well show her how to love and live even when she tries hard to resist the changes. The book some sexual situations which may make you blush, but otherwise this book is great.

short and sweet-- written for all women who have loved and lost gotten burned in the process -- are afraid of romance because of the past pain but who finally overcome the past to get the love they actually deserve! Here's to all those ladies who have the courage to let the walls come tumbling down-- for the right guy! :)

A good romance story. I love Quinn and the way how he helped her overcome her fear . Love the way how they fall in love. I like the way how Emily used the term ' Red balloon' when she said to Quinn for being there in her life. Love the epilogue. Hoping to get the next book free whenever I can , about how Lynn and Paul love story.

Who doesn't love a rich good looking guy who falls for the shy local girl. Quinn is taking some time to think about selling his company and goes to a friends place on Salt Springs Island. Here he meets shy Emily the owner of the bookstore. He falls for her but can she fit in his world? This is a great story and I look forward to reading more from this author.

Very good read, 3.5 stars. I really connected with Emily as I suffer from social anxiety, though not as severe as hers.

February 11, 2022
This is a cute trope that is used to good effect in California Man. Emily is the super shy book seller that freezes up when she meets people, more specifically, men outside the safety and security of her store. Quinn is the quintessential self-made, successful and rich bachelor who is tired of the rat race but not sure what else to do since it’s all he knows. The characters seem like they are diametrically opposed, yet that is what fun and entertaining romance stories are all about. Love happens when you least expect it and certainly Emily wasn’t ready for the intensity that is Quinn. Quinn didn’t expect the meteoric impact from a glance of gorgeous gray eyes. What comes next is the pursuit and chase, ultimately leading to what readers will expect to read, only to find out that the author threw in a plot conflict. A conflict I at first didn’t feel worked, but it’s what the author decided to have her secondary characters do that made it work, made me happy and I acknowledge the cleverness of it.
Most of the conflict is internal and it’s from Emily’s point of view. It is effective, although a little drawn out at times, but the emotions and feelings of sympathy for the heroine more than make up for it. Quinn’s life choice isn’t as impactful as the heroine’s, but it does play off her insecurities rather well. What I liked about Quinn was his realization that Emily is worth fighting for, and that means restraining his libido and putting her first, even when she makes it hard.
Because of Quinn’s initial restraint, I was hoping that this book was going to fall into the sensual category. Nope – it definitely earned a spicy rating. Of course, Emily rationalized it; total trope reasoning, but it’s the end result that more than makes up for it.
Another strong point in this story’s favor is how Quinn and Emily end up bringing out the best in each other, while helping each other with some of their tough life decisions. They made a great team. In fact, California Man is a pretty good read. I enjoyed it, the pace was consistent and always moved forward and I really appreciated Quinn’s depth of character, which was showcased in his interactions with James, a secondary character. The happy ever after was wrapped up with a delightful bow of love and happiness.
All in all, California Man is a romantic little gem and well worth reading.

I got to about 30% and couldn't go anymore. I like shy nerd girls but Emily was boring and rude. I can't figure why Quinn would even be remotely interested in her. She didn't look at him and constantly turned away. He would have walked away without a second thought I also didnt like he kissed Emily when she was resistive. This is an assault and not romantic at all. Finally I assumed that Emily had been though great trauma because for her attitude. Her boyfriend broke up with her to become a priest. Oh horror !!! She wasn't raped or attacked which would at least justify her nervous behavior. I can't see them having a HEA. Quinn seemed likable and would quickly grow tired of Emily.

This book was recommended to me by another writer who is a big fan of E.C. Sheedy, Jessica Russell, and she was spot on. This is a very enjoyable book that is in the signature style of Sheedy. She has a way with words like Jesse says. My favorite line was when she got the bike as a gift and they were in the kitchen making food, talking about going to Victoria and author said Emily "crossed the emotional bridge from passionate fantasy to daylight reality" See what I mean? She just has a way. LOL. I love this book.

A Beautiful Romance
This was another one of those books I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy, but I really did. Emily annoyed me with how nervous and shy she was for most of the book, but it was nice to see her growth. California Man aka Quinn was a pleasant surprise. I actually liked him from the beginning and liked his approach to Emily. I also liked that it showed the man being sure for once and not the women.
