Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Breaking the Spine, which spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. My choice for this week is:

Begin Again by Crystal Walton

Contemporary Romance

Home In You, Book Two

Release Date: February 8, 2017

 

Synopsis:

What happens when a free-spirited artist from big-city New York collides with an uptight business owner from small-town Ocracoke? Fireworks. The kind neither saw coming.

A single call is all it takes to drive artist Ti Russo into what she does best. Run. But hey, lying low in a beach town for a while isn’t so bad. Thanks to the distraction of playing consultant to a guy she’s determined to crack, she can almost forget about the past stalking her back home. But she never counted on the real danger being a picket-fenced life she has no business falling for.

Focus and self-preservation have gotten single dad Drew Anderson through the last nine years. With the threat of his shop’s foreclosure jeopardizing his daughter’s health care, the last thing he needs is a distracting hippie chick swooping in to shake up what he’s fought to protect. Including himself. The bank’s deadline adds enough pressure without re-risking feelings better left buried.

But as sparks flare and secrets escalate, the race against time propels Ti and Drew into a choice neither’s ready to make: Find the faith to surrender their past or forfeit their only chance to begin again.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this one.

When Cassidy inherits her grandfathers summer camp she is determined to return it to its former glory and sale it. She is not expecting to fall in love with the place that held so many happy childhood memories. Restoring the camp also restores a piece of herself that has been missing for a long time. With the help of her best friend Ti and a handsome handyman, Ethan, she begins to believe in a brighter future. I liked Cassidy, she is loyal and fierce. She is also kind and has a happiness about her despite everything she's been through. I thought Ethan was great, very charming and patient. I thought they were great together. I really enjoyed their relationship.

I thought the overall story was fun and kept me turning the pages. I thought the mystery could have been developed a little better, but I did like that the "bad guy" was not who I thought it was. I do enjoy a good twist. Overall, a fun contemporary romance with a great setting and lovable characters. I hope Ti gets a book! It's exciting to find a new author to follow!
