I have read several books by this author and books in The Off Season series. I enjoy hearing about previous characters in these books but each one can be read as a stand alone.
This story features long time friends Evan and Cassie; along with new characters Avery and Oliver. It has some drama, clean romance and small town feel.
Addictions and alcohol are a major subjects in the story which I personally have a hard time reading about, but personal feelings aside; I still enjoyed this book and characters. Can’t wait to keep reading more from this series.
I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Safe harbor and new beginnings await on the Chesapeake Bay…
Pleasant Shores cop Evan Stone has worked hard to become a man of his word, overcoming the alcoholism that sent him down the wrong path in his youth. So when his late best friend’s sister asks for his help, he doesn’t hesitate. He promised he’d watch out for Cassie, and the cottage next to his will be a perfect short-term refuge for her and her dog. The other half of that promise—to stay away from Cassie romantically—is harder to keep.
Sheltered for years because of a childhood illness, Cassie is ready to reach for what she wants. And despite her family’s warnings and her own fears, Cassie’s heart wants Evan. As the return of his estranged son puts his sobriety to the test, Cassie and Evan are drawn together, finding strength through what they’ve each weathered. She knows Evan would risk anything to protect her, but are they willing to risk the price of loving, now and forever?
