A Chesapeake island homecoming—and a life-changing discovery

When Ryan Hastings first came to Teaberry Island, he was a troubled teen on his last chance. He’s returning as a renowned scientist, checking in on his widowed foster mother. But one thing hasn’t changed—Ryan’s feelings for the girl next door whom he loved…and left. Mellie Anderson has a son now, and a good life that Ryan believes he’s still too damaged to share. But he knows he can help young Alfie, who’s getting picked on at his new school.

Mellie is grateful her gifted son is getting extra support, and torn about where it’s coming from. Ryan has no idea he’s Alfie’s father. No matter how valid her reasons were, could Ryan ever understand why she didn’t tell him? But in this close-knit community, friendship and forgiveness are always near at hand, and forever love might be waiting just next door.

MY REVIEW

I really enjoyed this book! It was probably one of my favorites so far and I’ve read alot of her books.

Mellie, son Alfie, Ryan and Betty were the main characters and I loved getting to know each one and their personalities and struggles. Ryan was one of Betty and Wayne’s foster kids who had an extremely difficult childhood. Living on the Island with them changed him and made him into a successful scientist and man. Ryan struggles with feelings of self worth and belonging throughout the book but comes to realize that family and love can help heal him. Mellie and son Alfie become a big part of Ryan’s life and I liked seeing their relationship develop over the story. Betty is struggling as a new widow and finding her place in the world with finding a new normal and navigating thru her grief.

All of the characters were relatable with daily struggles and I liked how they worked together as family, neighbors, and friends to serve and help each other. Great characters, easy to read story line with clean romance and drama. Highly recommend this fun Hometown Brothers read!

I hope her future books will include Betty, Charlie, Cody and Luis because I’m not ready to say goodbye to those characters included in this story.

I received a copy of this book complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.
