About The Author
My Review
This is a charming, heartfelt story filled with romance, community, and cozy small-town vibes. This time, the spotlight falls on Gigi Franklin, who is juggling more than her share—planning her best friend’s wedding, advancing her law career, and unraveling the mystery of the Salty Breeze B&B’s rightful heir. Fortunately, she has Austin Beckett, her loyal childhood friend, to lean on. What Gigi doesn’t realize is that Austin has quietly loved her for years.
Their romance builds slowly and tenderly, threaded through a narrative rich with subplots. The chaos of wedding planning, the complications of family secrets, and the arrival of newcomer Simon Ridley all keep the story layered and engaging. Both Gigi and Austin are also navigating fraught family relationships, making their emotional journeys as meaningful as their growing connection.
Told in dual POV, the novel captures both Gigi’s determination and Austin’s deep, steadfast affection. With warm writing, themes of found family and healing, and a sweet romance at its heart, this is a delightful escape—like stepping into a Hallmark summer movie.
