Gansett adasının ikinci kitabında Mac'in en yakın arkadaşı Joe ve biricik kız kardeşi Janey'nin ilişkisini okuyoruz. Janey 13 yıllık sevgilisiyle düğün hazırlığındayken olabilecek en çirkin şekilde aldatıldığını öğreniyor. Arabası bozulup yolda da kalınca anakarada olan Joe'yi arayıp yardım istiyor. Kendini bildi bileli Janey'e aşık olan Joe hem Janey'nin mutsuzluğunu istemezken hem de sonunda onunla bir şansı olabilecektir.
Romantik, samimi ortamda geçen sevdirerek okutan bir kitap. Sevişme sahneleri bu kadar kısa bir kitap için özellikle çok fazlaydı. O biraz sıktı. Onun dışında güzeldi.

After devouring Maid For Love, book one in Marie Force’s McCarthy’s of Gansett Island series, I knew I had to continue reading about the lives of the Gansett Island folk. I couldn’t get enough of Force’s fun and witty writing style, so I knew I was definitely in for a treat when I cracked open Fool for Love, the second in the series.
This time, Joe (Mac’s best friend from Maid for Love) is the main interest. Seeing Mac happy and in love makes Joe’s heart-break, as he is the unfortunate victim of unrequited love. The object of his desire is Janey, Mac’s younger sister, who is engaged to a medical student living in Boston. All that changes, however, when Janey finds her fiance in bed with another woman after she travels up to surprise him. Furious and hurt, she leaves in a hurry only to have her car break down. She calls the one person she knows will help her: Joe. She’s always viewed Joe as a “fifth brother” whom she could confide anything in and turn to when times got tough. Joe jumps at the chance to help Janey, but he is wary of her recent break up, and feels even more pressure when Janey decides to stay at Joe’s to recuperate before she travels back to Gansett Island to tell her family of her break up. Will Joe be able to handle having Janey, who he’s always admired from afar, so close to him (and single) for the first time? Will Janey begin to view Joe as more than just a friend? What will Mac have to say about all of this?
I would normally have thought that the plot of this book was ridiculous, where a girl who has been in a relationship for 15+ years finds out that her boyfriend has been cheating on her, jumps into another man’s arms, and begins a relationship with him in the same night that she discovers the infidelity! In reality I think that you would need more time in order to get over the shock of this event. However, Force somehow makes all of this work, and even makes it believable to boot. Joe’s ability to start this relationship with Janey is never in question, he’s pined over her for ages. And while at first hesitant and scared of becoming a rebound, he eventually realizes that he may never be able to get another chance to show Janey that he’s the one for her. Janey, on the other hand, is at first confused and conflicted in her feelings for Joe and what her impetuous behavior says about the relationship she had with David for the past 15 years. When all of those feelings and emotions the two are feeling come together it is volatile, giving the reader a great story to follow along with.
The way in which Force incorporates the characters from her first work in this series into the plot of this work creates a very close-knit and believable community that ties the works together. As we read more about the lives of those on Gansett Island, we get a better picture of the goings on in the community as a whole, effectively making the island its own character. I can’t wait to see what else Force has in store for this series, and I know that once I get to know even more characters from this island I’ll fall in love all over again.

Fool For Love is the second book in Marie Force's Gansett Island series, and it is a great addition!
Joe Cantrell has been in love with Janey McCarthy for years. Unfortunately for him, Janey has been in love with someone else, and is set to marry him in a year. But as things would happen, Janey and David break up, giving Joe the opportunity to explore if things could work out between him and Janey.
I loved the love that I could feel from Joe. His love for Janey has been unrequited for so long, that you can't help but hope that things could work out. I loved that Janey found her strength when things ended in her previous relationship. One thing that just didn't sit real well with me was just how quickly she moved on, emotionally. While there is a part of me that understands that her old relationship was really over a while ago, she seemed to move past it a little fast for me. But I truly loved Joe and Janey!

I actually really liked this one, it fit in well with the first one and it is nice that you get to catch up on some of the back stories. the ex-fiance was a real ass so i am glad that she didn't end up with him!
