Genevieve Goodwin's books are perfect for readers who love lots of sweet, romantic sizzle but no explicit content.
A really sweet story about misunderstandings and second chances. A lot could have been avoided if only Aiden and Jamie had communicated more instead of assuming. This is a heartwarming story that will draw you in from the beginning and have you rooting for their HEA. With a little danger, mixed in it has an intriguing storyline that will capture your attention from the start and you will be hooked till the end. The character development was great with real and likable qualities. The story was told in a way with such wonderful descriptions you can clearly picture each scene for yourself. A really sweet and heartwarming story you do not want to miss!

Jamie is a high-society decorator, and does a lot of charity work. But she needs a break, especially from a man she dated briefly who is acting obsessively. So she buys a beach shack in her hometown to fix up. And hires her teenage crush Aiden to do the remodel. She wants to buy the home she was raised in, but so does Aiden. Both have their own reasons, which they don’t share. Even as they grow close, they still keep secrets. And 2 people almost die at the hands of a crazy man. A good book, although putting a period after Miss several times in the book irritated me.
[did not finish] kind of bland... the heroine was stalk by a crazy ex who entered her house and watched her sleep, and she still can think of having a fling with the hero just kind of give me an eye roll.
