Bookshop by the Sea is a glorious read. I picked it up too early for beach season, but reserve the right to read it again in the summer.

Sophie Lawson is a dream heroine. Her flaw – being all together too kind to others. This manifests itself by turning Sophie into a doormat for her family, but not one without a spine. After missing out on college to care for her dying mom and effectively raise her siblings, Sophie isn’t down or out. Not, she’s opening her dream bookstore, on a deadline and a shoestring.

First, she’s got to get through her little sister’s wedding, complete with the man who broke her heart as the best man. Nothing could prepare her for seeing Aiden Maddox again, not even the hurt she wear like anger to protect herself from falling in love all over again.

Aiden never stopped loving Sophie but couldn’t miss out on his dream shot to run an extreme sports business. The move cost him his heart but he left without knowing Sophie’s father had also abandoned the family on the same day.

As a hurricane tears through town, Aiden feels compelled to stay and help Sophie clean up the damage and save the shop. Risking his heart in the process.

This is a brilliantly crafted and beautifully delivered second chance romance. I especially liked the little cameo from Hunter’s previous series. Highly recommend this book and can’t wait for next release..
