They’ve known each other for years, and lately it seems like their relationship could turn into something more. But is she willing to risk losing him as a friend if they try to date and it doesn’t work out?

*sighs*
Why am I even trying? Despite my disappointment with the first two books, I still tried to give the third book a chance. Don't get me wrong, the plot in this book was way better than the previous two, but I can't get over the fact that it was so poorly written.
Seriously, it has been three books, and by now, readers are very well aware that Briggs is handsome, as it's mentioned in every single Charlotte POV.
One thing that I find sweet and kinda realistic is the fact that they gossiped positively about their friends, and were genuinely happy about it.
Then, the most unrealistic part of the story. Four grown-ass women on a very spontaneous overnight spa trip. LOL

I found the women insecure sickly sweet goody-goody. Always apologizing for someone else's cause of a problem. I found the dialog from the men not realistic at all. The kinds of things that every woman wants to hear from their perfect man, but not realistic. The 5 year old child of Addison and Jesse spoke not typical of a real 5 year old, either. Started the 4th in the series and already Charlotte is unsure of Briggs' marriage proposal. Elise and Gabe - another strange couple. I'm going to have to say "good-bye" to this one and the rest of the series.

Another great book in the series
I am in book heaven. Last year when I was hurt I read to many books.... not really but alot. The series is wonderful and the 7 books are great. They go from one story to the next, but keep it all together. I am only on book 3 and can not put it down. You will enjoy the series so do not hesitate reading them.

A Secret of the Tides
I loved this novel about a bookstore ear the ocean. The characters were well developed and the romance between the bookstore owner and the handyman who helped restore it was touching. I highly recommend this novel. Renee Goldberg rgoldberg227@gmail.com

sometimes you just need a good clean story about nice people
Book 3 is as good as one and two!
Reading this during election time has been like a bubble bath for my soul. Slip into a community of good people!

As the third book in this series, I actually really enjoyed it. It was well written and flushed out all of the characters very well. I’m excited to read the next one and get to know the characters and their lives a little more.

Many Good Books
I have read so many good books lately it’s getting tiresome to keep saying it. But this was another good one. Especially with all the mishaps, misunderstandings and burglary to add into the mix of romance. It was great.

Love the way each couple was brought together
This book put the unmarried couples together in a way that made it interesting. The way they all became one after the near tragedy. Can't wait to see what Addison and Jesse new baby is

This series still gives the Hallmark Movie vibes, which I love. But there was a specific storyline in this one that I just didn't think added anything to it. On to the next!
