There are a lot of books where I get done and I’m wishing the book was longer, unfortunately this was not one of them. To be a bit brutal, this story could easily have been about 3/4 the length or even a bit shorter.
The author is new to me and I am picking the series up in the 5th book. One of the big struggles in long series is keeping readers up to date on previous leads while also keeping the story for the main characters moving. There were times here where it really seemed the secondary cast was taking over. This caused me to feel like I didn’t really know either of the leads.
I also struggled a little bit with the relationship between the lead characters. They spent very little time together, they seemed to have little communication between visits and were arguing half the time. Given that scenario, how can strong romantic feelings develop?
If someone has been reading this series from day 1, this could be a great book for them. There were not any major flaws, but I will say that it was not a book that makes me want to run out and buy more.

This is the fifth book in the series and although technically can be a standalone I would recommend reading the other books in the series first. This author incorporates the secondary characters into the story a lot and if you haven’t read the previous books that loses something for the reader.
This book was Cassie and Noah’s story. I have to admit it is not my favorite in the series. I had a hard time getting into the relationship between these two. Cassie is a jewelry designer who has won a prestigious award from Noah’s company. Her past keeps her away from the spotlight and Noah wants to bring her into it so he can get her the recognition she deserves.
There are some moments I really enjoyed, but overall I just struggled with how these two fit with each other and Sapphire Bay. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is the second book I have read in the Sapphire Bay collection and I was just as pleased with this one as I was the first. Even though I am going out of order with them (as I chase free books on the Books app), that didn’t make the storyline difficult to follow, nor did it make the characters any less lovable.
I enjoy the various backstories that Ms. Morgan has given the main and supporting characters both. She weaves in just enough detail to make you love them all and hope for another book where they are the main character.
I really appreciated the touch about Cassie and her family having previously been homeless tying into the tiny home build at the community center.
Overall, just a very nice love story. Can’t wait to read more of the Sapphire Bay collection!

Sweet romance
A sweet and thoughtful romance with compelling characters and an engaging premise set in a picturesque community. The plot seemed a bit weak, though, and inconsistent at times.

Loved this book!
The story of Cassie and Noah confirmed the resilience of a strong person to get through any of lives difficulties while retaining a kind heart and forgiving spirit.

Good book
I took a little break and read a few other books. When I came back, it felt like I never left Sapphire Bay.

Sometimes what we fear the most is what turns out the best.

Will fear of the past steal her future?
Cassie may have stopped running but she still lives in fear that the past will catch up with her and destroy the life she has built. She has an amazing talent but lacks self confidence, is quiet but determined and will do anything she can to help those in need. Noah threatens the safety she has found and whilst he makes her heart race he also reminds her of everything she left in her previous life...can they find a middle ground or are their hopes and dreams just too different?
Noah is used to getting his own way no matter what it takes and until he meets Cassie very few people have ever said no to him, but not only does Cassie say no, she also makes him take a long hard look at his business practices and makes him re-evaluate what is important in life. Cassie and Noah are easy to fall for, they both have weaknesses and quirks but they are funny, sweet, loving, damaged and not perfect, it gives us all hope! Another sweet visit to Sapphire Bay and all the amazing characters who live there!
