My thoughts on the book:
I really enjoy this author so I was excited to get this book and sit down and read it. I really feel like this book was about healing and forgiveness and finding your true self. I really liked Emma she wanted to have it all together but she still wanted to please people as well so she really was looking to find herself. She really had her heart broken in the past and turning 30 has her really thinking and making hard decisions. Jack was easy to fall in love with. I liked how the author didn't try and make the characters perfect. I liked reading again about Dawanda and her cappuccino readings you truly never know what's going to come out of her mouth next. There were so many fun sub characters that I want to know more about and read their stories. I love how the story draws you in and keeps you going to the end. There is adult talk but over all this book was totally worth the read and you can't go wrong. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."

My thoughts on the book:
This is the second book in this series I have read and what a fun read it was. I liked how the author took two very broken people each in their own way and made them feel completely relatable and made them feel more like friends. The storyline was short, sweet and to the point but it was also a page turner kept you wanting to know what was going to happen next. I love small town romance and this book fit that perfectly. In the end there was on character who was super fun and quirky and totally had me laughing at it's antics, you will have to read to find out who only because this person played a hard head in the beginning and I don't want to give much away. This book does have sex in it so it may not be for all reads. Over all I would recommend this fun book.

Description:
After her estranged father is indicted for insider trading, wealthy heiress and morning talk show personality, Evelyn Barclay, returns to Paradise Key. She takes a job with a friend, only to discover she's now in charge of Paradise Key's sexy mayor, Paxton James.
Pax wants nothing to do with the video Evie needs to produce for the town's new website. But he can't deny that every time he's around her, sparks fly. Not only is she beautiful, but when Evie steps up to help his daughter, he sees another side of her.
Just as Pax and Evie grow closer, her dad's appearance in Paradise Key threatens to send her into hiding again and ruin their budding relationship.
My thoughts on the book:
Evelyn just can not get away from her dad and his mistakes. After finding out he's is being indicted she heads back to Paradise Key where she can hide from the press and spend time with her friends she has always felt like family. Pax has always loved Paradise key but now he is being pulled in every direction when the Pistol Evie decides he needs to be the face of Paradise Key whether he likes it or not. They have this attraction and both are healing can they come together or will it be too much for both of them and they are better off as friends?
I have read this series from the beginning and I just love these four girls they are fun and unique in there own ways and that goes with Evie as well. I loved Sam she is a pistol even though she is 12 she was just so easy to love reading about. I feel like while reading I was catching up with friends. Pain and forgiveness is a funny thing sometimes you have to get through the pain to get to the forgiveness and that was very much the case in this book. Both Evie and her Dad needed to stop dancing around each other and face the pain head on so they can get to the forgiveness to get to the living. This book was so worth the read and super fun. Some adult language but very mild. Grab this book you won't regret it.
I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. I was under no obligation to post a review and have given my honest opinion
