About the book:
Flight attendant Summer Benson lives by two rules: Don’t stay with the same man for too long and never stay in one place. She’s about to break rule number one by considering accepting her boyfriend’s proposal—then disaster strikes and her world is shattered in an instant. Summer heads to Black Dog Bay, where the locals welcome her. Even Hattie Huntington, the town’s oldest, richest, and meanest resident, likes her enough to give her a job. Then there’s Dutch Jansen, the rugged, stoic mayor, who’s the opposite of her type. She probably shouldn't be kissing him. She definitely shouldn't be falling in love. After a lifetime of globe-trotting, Summer has finally found a home. But Hattie has old scores to settle and a hidden agenda for her newest employee. Summer finds herself faced with an impossible choice: Leave Black Dog Bay behind forever, or stay with the ones she loves and cost them everything..
I really enjoyed this book. Well, except for the plane crash part. But yeah, I always forget how much I love a good Chick Lit book.
Black Dog Bay--it would be awesome if this was really a place! I could so see myself going there (if I wasn't married of course). Somebody get Beth Kendrick's permission and take off with this idea! (The Whinery, Retail Therapy, Better Off Bed-and-Breakfast...the whole nine yards!)
Anyways, I liked Summer. She was a bit more wild than I'm used to. But she also had a sweet side too (even though she didn't want to admit it). I love how she handled the old ladies. She had this great sarcastic side that made me laugh out loud several times. And I liked Dutch (although for always saying no to the women, he sure said yes to Summer pretty quickly. I think she should have had to work harder). And I liked that Ingrid was okay with her brother dating. It was refreshing that she was so eager to see their relationship work instead of brooding like most stories would have her do.
As my favorite stories always do, this book ended with a great happily ever after. I look forward to reading more books by Beth Kendrick!
I gave this book a rating of 4/5.
