Two hopeless romantics, generations apart. Can she find the love her great-aunt never did?Jill never expected to inherit her late Great-Aunt Bitsy’s beach retreat on the beautiful island of Nantucket. Her Great-Aunt was a hopeless romantic – and considering Jill’s lackluster attempts at love, she knows there must be a reason why she was chosen.
Embarking on an Autumn trip to the quaint island town of Breeze Bluff with her best friends, Jill quickly falls in love with the island’s charms. She dreams of giving up her old life and starting fresh. Not even Bitsy’s ex-husband – and his troublesome yet strangely charming grandson Brad – can make her change her mind.
With the momentous yearly Apple Festival looming on the horizon, Jill is faced with no shortage of mysteries and adventures as she prepares Aunt Bitsy’s house to celebrate the Fall. And all the while, she can’t seem to shake Brad and his witty charms. Can Jill carve out a new life for herself on this idyllic island? And will she complete the love story that her Great-Aunt Bitsy began all those years ago?
As a beautiful Autumn-themed adventure set on an idyllic island getaway, this fun and wholesome women’s fiction series blends a dash of mystery with clean romance to craft a delightful and memorable experience.
Jill came to Nantucket with her best friends Juliette, Gigi and Talia for her Aunt Bitsy's funeral. Jill loved her Aunt as she stepped in as a parent figure when Jill and Sam's, Jill's brother, parents passed away when they were in their late teens, early 20s. After the funeral the reading of the will brought a surprise to Jill when she heard that she was given the large home along with financial help.
Brad, son of Nelson Savoy ex husband of Bitsy's, was intrigued by Jill and kept popping into her life. She finally talked with him a bit and Brad had found out that Jill was taking out her sailboat and hid away. He'd packed a lovely lunch and they got to know each other better by asking and answering questions. They were lost in their conversations and before they knew it a storm had approached.
Received an early copy for my honest and voluntary review.
Book 1 is a great introduction to the series . The author artfully gives us a chance to get to know Jill and Brad, and the other characters, through the story of a memorial service and a discussion on a sailboat ride. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of them more, and to seeing the resolution of the great cliffhanger at the end. I think you'll love this series!!
Ivory Fields hits it out of the park with this book. Great read. Takes you in from the first page to the last. Love the characters. Each are well developed. Trials, romance, friendship, suspense all included in this read. I was given an advanced readers copy of this well written book. I am freely leaving my review.
Fields delivers more lovable characters. She has an amazing gift for creating characters that pull the reader into their lives. She is also a master of cliff hangers. This particular cliff hanger had me screaming, 'Are you kudding me?! I have to know what happens next.
Great start to a new series. Jill, and her friends have head to a celebration of life for Bitsy, a beloved member of the Nantucket community. As they attend the reading of the will, Jill is surly to learn of her inheritance. Also at the reading of the will is Bitsy ex-husband Nelson. He is accompany his son Brad from a second marriage
Brad develops a “crush” on Jill and develops a scheme to spend time with her.
Will the duo survive the plan? What happens when a peaceful afternoon sail turns disastrous?
Thank you to the author for this ARC. This review is my honest opinion.
