Rørende, reflekterende, dyb, realistisk, sød, charmerende, dramatisk, second chance, slowburn, klasseskel, fortid, true love, ja jeg kunne blive ved. Jeg er mega vild med skrivestilen, troperne, karakterne og det de udsættes for. 
Det er en serie med gode og utrolige lækre mænd og skønne stærke kvinder. 
Der er plottwist, hemmeligheder, løgne, misforståelser, tiltrækning og spicy scener i denne second chance, one true love fortælling og kan kun give mine varmeste anbefalinger. 

5/6 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

❤️ I loved this story maybe more than the other two.
No words.
Small town romances are my favourite

Seems like a pretty decent read, but it’s not something I want to invest my time into. Read a summary of what happened and it seems like it would have been interesting, but it’s not my type of novel.

Otherwise, it’s well-written, interesting, and the characters’ reactions and actions aren’t so OTT that it makes me want to scream.

Carrie Elks takes us back to Angel Sands for the second chance romance between single mom Brooke Newton and "brought up on the other side of the tracks" turned success story, Aiden Black. I've loved getting to know this little group of woman and Brook is the last of the Angel Sands trio to get her story. She has a surprisingly edgier story with an interesting twist surrounding her son Nick. Seems that little miss socialite has her limits and like any good momma bear when push comes to shove, she's ready to stand on her own two feet.

Carrie Elks writing is always stellar. Her characters are so well developed and the characters arcs are always strong and cohesive. With Brooke, we've seen glimpses of her trying to take back her life. Born out of love, her parents provide her housing and childcare, but always seem to be strings attached, expectations. With the re-entrance of Aiden back into her life, she seems emboldened to break away from her all too controlling socialite parents.

Aidens's return to Angela Sands is a way of showing anyone who might care that he is a changed man. He was young and driven when he left, but he's still weighed down by his families history in the town. He, Brooke and her son Nick have great natural energy and connection to each other, but Brooke has a pretty massive secret that will shake up everything in her life. I loved how this played out as this secret is a doozy. Aiden is very protective of both of them and will be tested by his desire to shield them. There is no way but up for this family.

If you are looking for a series to binge read while enjoying the beach or your final summer vacation, Angel Sands series is the answer. there's just the right amount of angst, redemption, and romance. 5 Star book and series recommendation.

If I had half stars, I would have rated this book 3,5, leaning towards 4. I really like the story, I don’t remember seeing this anywhere else before (or once or twice)

I still love the small beach town vibe of this series, the found family and the ‘soulmate’ couple we get to read about. Although I really think book 2 and 3 are similar… Obviously there’s some things that are different but because I read one after the other, I guess it really jumps to my eyes.

I didn’t really like Nick that much, in the other book I was under the impression he was younger and I don't know.. He wasn’t as present in the book as Riley (Nate’s daughter in the previous book). I really like when children are part of the story, especially when there are single parents in the story !

Anyway ! Good thing is that the spice is slowly getting heavier and heavier so maybe the next will be the perfect amount !

I love the trope ‘poor’ boy and ‘rich’ girl having a secret romance in their teens, parents mixing and destroying said relationship and them finding each other again later in life. Seriously I love it, and honestly this one was pretty great !
