Review

I really enjoy Denise Hunter books! They have such sweet romance with realistic problems and Christian values!

This book is about Maggie, a young mom struggling with her husbands death. Five years later, she wants to move on and find love. But when she sees someone who looks exactly like her husband, Maggie’s whole summer is thrown off. Now she and her brother-in-law, Josh Reynolds are on the search for him. Except, Josh is holding on to a secret… one he has kept for over 10 years…

This book was a sweet romance perfect for young ladies 16 and up! I really enjoyed the story, and the hint of mystery was a fabulous touch. The novel takes you on so many twists and turns you have no idea what it coming next!

There are some sad topics. Mention of death, loss and such. Talk about sperm doners, cheating and being unfaithful. Nothing is described, but it is brought up.

Overall, this is a wonderful book! I would totally suggest it for vacation for any women who loves romance with a hint of mystery!!! Happy Reading! -The Young Llama Reader.

Pros

  • A totally amazing romance/mystery!
  • Cute!!!

Cons

  • Some sad topics…

Five years after her husband’s death, Maggie is finally ready to let go of him and the dreams she had for their future. A summer at Seabrook, where she and Ethan first became childhood sweethearts, seems the perfect time and place to find closure. Plus, she gets to spend time with his family, the Reynoldses, whom she loves like her own.

Unbeknownst to Maggie, her brother-in-law, Josh Reynolds, has been in love with her since they first met all those years ago. But his brother ultimately won Maggie’s heart, and Josh’s unrequited love has ruined all his relationships. If Maggie is ready to move on, then Josh is ready to lay it all on the line and come clean about his true feelings for her.

But his plans soon get put on hold when, shortly after Maggie returns to Seabrook, she runs into a man who could pass for Ethan’s twin. But he disappears into the amusement park crowd before she can confront him.

The event rattles Maggie, stirs up impossible questions, and sends Josh and her on a quest to discover the man’s true identity. But their search ends up raising more questions than answers—and soon Maggie isn’t sure she wants those answers after all.
