Kayley Loring

This is one of those second-chance brother's best friend trope romances that should follow a format, but this writing duo gives it a fresh take with wonderful characters, so many puns, and a lot of tension. I wasn't sure how the ending would be resolved, even if I knew it should be a HEA.
Claire is the little sister who stayed in Beacon Harbor, Maine, to run her bakery. Grady couldn't leave fast enough, set on becoming wealthy and running his conglomerate. When he returns home because of a family issue, Claire is one of the first people he runs into. Before, he thought she was too young for him besides being his best friend's little sister, but twelve years have passed, and maybe things have changed. Claire has always loved Grady but now is more immersed in financial woes with the bakery. But guess who has the best business knowledge?
I love Kayley Loring's books, and the addition of Connor Crais to the writing team only adds to the fun. There's a lot of quirkiness, and did I mention the puns? Also, I live in Maine, and they managed to capture the setting perfectly (I mean, Boston's More Than a Feeling was a mainstay on Portland radios for years).
I can't wait for the next book in the series. Either Jake or Damien works for me, but anyone in Beacon Harbor will do, even Crabby Crawford.… (más)
