BLURB
New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis returns to Sunrise Cove with a powerful, moving story about a young woman on a quest to find the truth about her father who learns the meaning of true love along the way.
Alone in the world, Tae Holmes and her mother April pretty much raised each other, but as Tae starts asking questions about the father she’s never met, April, for the first time in her life, goes silent. To make matters worse, Tae is dangerously close to broke and just manages to avoid financial meltdown when she lands a shiny new contract with an adventure company for athletes with disabilities and wounded warriors.
Her first big fundraiser event falls flat, but what starts out as a terrible, horrible, no-good night turns into something else entirely when Tae finds herself face-to-face with Riggs Copeland. She hasn’t seen the former Marine since their brief fling in high school, and while still intensely drawn to him, she likes her past burned and buried, thank you very much. Hence their friendship pact.
But when April oddly refuses to help Tae track down her father, it’s Riggs who unexpectedly comes to her aid. On a hunt to unlock the past, the two of them find themselves on a wild ride and learn a shocking truth, while also reluctantly bonding in a way neither had seen coming. Now Tae must decide whether she’s going to choose love … or walk away from her own happiness.
“Once upon a time, walking away was the only thing I knew how to do.”
ARC REVIEW
This is just a feel good story. Tae and Riggs are both going through their own things and both of them have their walls up. Yet, they are drawn to each other and the more time they spend together those walls slowly start to lower.
I loved all the moments that Tae and Riggs shared throughout the story. I love the growth that they both had has individuals and together. They both have overcome a lot to get where they are.
I love how much the secondary characters play a roll in this book, especially Tae’s mom, April. She played a major roll when it came to Tae’s overall story and I love how it all played out in the end.
