Candle Beach #5
Sweet History
A whimsical gift shop, a BBQ food truck, and their feuding owners.
Charlotte Gray grew up spoiled and privileged but gave it up to make her own way in the world. Years later, she’s fought to get where she is, the owner of a gift shop located in a vintage Airstream trailer in scenic Candle Beach. Everything is perfect until she finds a smelly BBQ food truck parked next to her gift shop one afternoon. The minute she sees it, she knows it’s got to go or her business will be down the tubes.
Luke Tisdale was raised by hard-working grandparents in nearby Haven Shores. After attending college on a scholarship and joining the tech world, his company went public and he became a multi-millionaire overnight. Unfortunately, now he doesn’t know whether people like him or his money more. Buying a food truck and moving to Candle Beach seemed like the perfect plan to start over where no one knows about his wealth. What he didn’t expect was to find his best friend Parker’s spoiled little sister standing on the steps of his food truck demanding that he leave.
How can Luke and Charlotte forget old history to broker a truce and find a friendship or more?

This was a good read. Charlotte is trying to run her business and paint for an upcoming show. Things are complicated when Luke ends up running his food truck by her. Of course they end up falling in love and getting their happy ending.

Charlotte’s independence
I’m enjoying the friends and their talent for completing each others lives. Love the setting in Washington state, close enough to Seattle to go there on a weekend. Once your settled in this little beach town your comfortable and feel like you’ve found your forever home.
