Synopsis

Charlotte Madsen's whole world came crashing down six months ago with the words, "I met someone else."
Thirty-seven, recently divorced, and childless. That's Charlotte when she disembarks from the plane in Getaway Bay. She wants to get away, that's for sure. She thought the best way to do that was to buy a run-down house overlooking the bay, knowing she'll need all her fixer-upper skills to get it in shape. Which is just fine. She's hoping as she overhauls the house, she'll get a life makeover too.
She was not expecting a tall, handsome man to be under the kitchen sink when she arrives at the supposedly abandoned house. She wasn't expecting to get drenched when the non-plumber twists something the wrong way. And she certainly wasn't expecting her heart to be well enough to feel anything for anyone.
But former Air Force pilot, Dawson Dane, has a charming devil-may-care personality, and Charlotte could use some carefree laughter in her life. But everything with Dawson isn't sunshine and unicorns. He's estranged from his family, though he does speak to one of his brothers. And he's never committed to anything except his career, even choosing flying over an engagement years ago.
Can Charlotte navigate the healing process as she renovates the island house? Can Dawson finally make a commitment to a woman? Or will he and Charlotte decide a relationship is just too hard?

Simple and sweet Definitely a "clean romance" as billed. A touch boring. An easy read. The main character was just so industrious that I couldn't relate to her at all. I am not compelled to read further in the series at this point. Not likely written, just not my taste. 2-1\2 stars would be an accura......more

Goodreads review by Jes on March 26, 2020

This was a sweet story, but it read like real life, which was both a testament to the author's abilities and kind of stressful. I'm not the biggest fan of post-divorce romances, but the heroine was innocent of the tragic end to her marriage, and couldn't exactly go back to her husband, so she was fr......more

Goodreads review by Kelsey on May 15, 2023

I feel like I was transported back to the 90s or 00s with this clean romance. There was body shaming, expectations of marriage after 6 months together, infertility issues that were conveniently resolved, and a commitment phobic man who suddenly decided to get married because he met the right woman.......more
