’s up to her old tricks again – boasting about her latest conuests – reaffirming Renee’s lack of faith in loveAs Renee’s happily ever after hangs in the balance will Luc be able to convince her that true love can last forever?A totally heart warming summer romance you won’t want to put down Perfect for fans of Jenny Hale Susan Mallery and Lucy Colema This was a surprising read much family drama than I'd anticipated with somewhat toxic family relationships impacting on those involved in the present The community friendships and delicious food all add to the storyRenee Clarke is living with her father in a delightful location near the beach She's something of a workaholic and will do anything for those she loves which includes her half sister Cait When Cait decides to get married in this location she turns up to enlist Renee's help organising it actually she dumps everything on Renee including her dog Renee doesn't have positive feelings about marriage after all their mother put her through and she's certainly not looking forward to her turning up either but she'll do anything to help CaitWhen Renee's first love Luc Hardy returns to live in his aunt's home next door to Renee will this be a second chance romance for them? Can he help convince her that love doesn't have to be a toxic relationship? How will Renee's Mum turning up impact on their potential HEA?This is a story about relationships expectations history and dynamics I definitely thought Cait acted like a spoiled brat and Renee like a resentful doormat for much of the story Marcus Renee's Dad is lovely and so is Cait's husband to be Poor Luc must have felt he was on a roller coaster ride with all the twists and turns his romance with Renee underwent This is a moving story definitely not the light hearted second chance romance I'd expected it is much about family dynamics and interactions The setting West Cove is beautiful and definitely made me want to visit the beach again soon lockdown permitting I reuested and was gifted a copy of this book and this is my honest review after choosing to read it
