Lizzie Barber is very resourceful but it’s starting to weight her down. She also feels guilty when it comes to secrets. But she shows that we do what we have to do in order to help others out. Blue Ryder really loves having an excuse to help a certain someone out. I’m afraid that I ended up with a book boyfriend crush. This makes me glad that he’s fictional because I think he’d have a lot of women knocking his door down.

I’m afraid that I’ve developed an issue with this author as well as her alter ego – or vice versa. I’ve come to love both series and can’t say that I love one above the other. But I think that at some point, I’m going to read them side by side. I’ll read the sweet one first and then read the one with heat. And I’ll do this while down on the Cape – how could I not. I want the ambiance, I want the warm sea air, and I want to feel a part of this group of friends that shine in each book I read.

I know – no more crushing but it’s hard not to when you’ve fallen in love with this group of people. You know they don’t exist but it feels as if they could. They have family members who could sound like ones that exist in your world. They have problems that anyone could have but in the end they all remain friends. They boost you up when you’re feeling down and no matter what by the end of their story you’ve forgotten your troubles, even if for a little while, and can end the day feeling a little lighter and with a smile on your face. And if I get a little giggle at the end than that’s just icing on the cake. Seeing a preview of my next read in the series also made my day.

I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
