This is quickly becoming one of my favorite small town romance series!

First off, I absolutely LOVE this friend group. They are all SO great and have their own personalities that all mess together so well.

Steve, a local police officer, lost his wife Heather nine months prior when he gets on the scene of fatal car accident that leaves Erica Shaw in the hospital and her fiancé Dom dead.

Erica is completely new to town and trying to figure out this new life without Dom. She moves onto Maddie’s houseboat, which is on Steve’s property.

The two of them become friends and connect on a level that no one else can understand based on their traumatic pasts.

I really loved this book so much. Steve and Erica were the most unlikely couple and had to overcome so much, which when I read the blurb, didn’t think would be possible.

One thing that I love about this series, is that we always get hints of the future couples, not just for the next book in the series, but the one after that. With that said, the next one is going to be an interesting one with Hannah Jane and Issac!
