Sunshine Coast #1
Waiting for Ana
Note: This is a revised and expanded edition of Tangling with the CEO published in 2014.
Mixing business with pleasure never felt so right.
Blake Buchanan and Ana Delaney lived in a share house at university and could never see eye to eye about anything. Except for one night of passion before Ana left without a word, never expecting to cross paths with Blake again.
Years later, Blake has made his millions. He comes to Noosa to manage a corporate takeover that will close down the home flipping business Ana has poured her heart and soul into. The fiery Ana is determined to convince money-minded Blake of her business’s worth, but when a family emergency throws them together, their walls come tumbling down once again…
Problem is, Blake’s business-first position hasn’t changed. And Ana can’t fall for the man who could become her boss—it’s not only her job at stake, but her heart.

I've already read book 2 in this series and couldn't wait until Ana and Blake's story was released (or should I say revised, expanded, and renamed). It definitely didn't disappoint as I immediately was immersed into the story and characters. Blake and Ana were flatmates back at Uni and both were interested in each other at that point but Ana disappeared from University when she had to head home to take care of her mom. Now Blake is back on the Sunshine Coast and they finally can explore their attraction. I loved the way Annie wraps the reader in the beauty of the Australian continent and makes me fall in love with her characters.
Thank you Annie for another great read.

Ana
Ana and her two best friends Sierra and George run a restoration service in their city. They are very good and operate out of the local hardware store, often helping the elderly population for little or nothing. But now a big hardware company has bought the store and are doing away with the renovation service and the local flavor of the store. Ana knows the new manager of the hardware store, and hopes to change his mind to keep the renovation service.
Loved this story and the local flavor of community and family !!!

I really wanted to love it---Australian Sunshine coast romance? Super fun! The problem was the entire book was fueled by the lack of communication between the two main characters---from the decade ago event all through the current times. I dislike stories where the ENTIRE plot could be avoided if the characters just speak instead of being emotional and running off. :-\ That trope just annoys me, personally.

If you enjoy Colleen Hoover, you'll enjoy this book.
The story was cute, and I liked the second chance at romance trope the book had. I disliked the miscommunication that seemed to happen throughout the whole book though. There were also a handful of grammatical errors in the beginning, but all in all, it was a good book.

Not as thrilling as the Porter Sisters series
I thought I was getting a Seaton suspense, but no. Ana was a little annoying in not being straight with Blake & the twins sooner, but it was an okay love story of sorts.

Enjoyable story set in small town Australia. The main characters knew each other ten years prior at university when business has them cross paths again.

An absolutely engaging story that looks at a second chance love while introducing a lovable cast of characters who will no doubt grace the pages of the subsequent books in this series. I loved Ana and Blake's story and look forward to reading the next book.
