Cherry Blossom Point #7
A Running Start
Bobbie-Jo Pardue has a secret that's about to get blown wide open when her best friend, Marcus, comes to Cherry Blossom Point. He has no idea that their one night together over a year ago resulted in the surprise of a lifetime. A perfect, amazing, chubby bundle of joy named Archie. She's hidden the truth for far too long, and Marcus deserves to know his son. But coming clean now could cost her everything. Can he ever forgive her, or will she lose her best friend forever?
Gemma felt so blessed when her neighbor, Patrick, and his young daughter, Zoe, came into her life when she'd needed them most. Just when things started to take a romantic turn, Patrick's ex came back into the picture like a hurricane, leaving nothing but destruction in her wake. Now Gemma is left to pick up the pieces. Will she be able to help heal Patrick and Zoe the way they'd done for her, or has Hurricane Judy truly ruined them all?
Wyatt Merrill is a survivor. He lived through a skiing accident that would've been the end for most people and has come out the other side a better person. But now he's at a crossroads. Should he go back to the sport he'd spent most of his life pursuing, or is fate pointing him in another direction entirely?

Great story from cherry blossom point
Continuing with prior main characters and adding a few others to the story, the author keeps us enthralled with their lives. This book goes on to tell more of the story and adds a new branch of characters. I look forward to what this great author has to share next.

Beginnings
This book by Christine Gael brings back a few of the characters that we were introduced to in her earlier books . I felt that she answered some questions I had regarding those same characters. I have enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the next story. I also plan on reading more of her books.
