Cherry Blossom Point #6
False Start
After losing her husband in a car accident and having his baby all in the same year, Gemma Davis has been through hell and back. She was just starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel with her little family and a growing friendship with her neighbor, Patrick, when his ex-wife comes back into town. The woman is like a tornado wreaking havoc on their peaceful safe-haven. Will Gemma lose at love again, or fight for what she knows is right?
Maritza has finally broken away from her familial obligations to work toward her own dream of becoming head chef at a restaurant. She even meets a handsome stranger that she really wants to get to know. But when her mother's beloved food truck winds up becoming a hotbed of criminal activity, she has no choice but to put everything aside and step in. Family first. Always.
Finally on the other side of a skiing accident, Wyatt Merrill is on the mend, but Jack knows his son will never be able to compete at the level he used to. When he teaches him the arts of survival and tracking to keep him busy, he never imagines it will thrust them both into the middle of a life and death rescue mission deep in the heart of the wilderness.

I have really enjoyed all of the cherry blossom Point books and Christine Gael continued a great storyline. MS Gael introduced us to some new characters but let us keep up with old friends. For those of us that like happy endings we get a peek at one a d a look at a budding love between a single dad and a widow. I'm really looking forward to the next book in this series.

Great book in the series Cherry Blossom Point.
The characters are well developed and Continue both through this series and Bluebird Bay. New characters enter through more developed characters and this book brings in several characters with new adventures. I would recommend this author to anyone who loves reading and enjoys not too much drama, but certainly some adventure of lives

All the feels!
I am never disappointed when I open a Cherry Blossom Point book, and that’s been the case since book 1.
This time brought me all the feels: my heart at times swelling ten times its size, other times breaking in a million pieces for one character or another, tears of sadness, tears of pure emotion.
It really has it all!

False Start does not disappoint
This is number six in the continuing story of the wonderful friends and families of Cherry Blossom Maine. Easy, engaging reads with character development so well done you'll find yourself cheering them all on, most of them, there are a few

always a good read
I’m really enjoying this series and this book was no different. The diversity of characters, their pain and their joy. It’s relatable and endearing and I really feel like I know the city and the families as if they’re ere real!

Wonderfully woven story rich in characters that you would love to meet. Never really sure where Christine may lead us in the storyline and the angst that lay in in its wake
