I love the Cape May series so much! As much as I loved the other two books this one really tugged at my heart strings! I love how emotional this one was and the layer in life love stories are sooo good! Melanie deserved the world and I’m glad her and Josh made their way back to each other!
Everything they went through at such a young age was so emotional and traumatic, and I knew I was going to love Melanie’s book when she was in the first cape May series. The friendship she has with Sophie also makes my heart happy.
This book gives me hope that I’ll find my dream of what I want to do with the rest of my life!

Choosing You is a heartfelt second chance romance featuring two musicians in their 40s, both carrying secrets and past hurts that still echo through their lives. I loved seeing “older” characters with history work through forgiveness, vulnerability, and what it means to choose love again. This story does have a HEA but be prepared to shed a few tears along the way.
