In this standalone novel by a favored author, Denise Hunter, our heroine Maddy Monroe has recently experienced a major dose of trauma when her boyfriend Nick betrays her. Not only does Nick cheat on her with another woman, he simultaneously steals the promotion she has long been working for. The next day, Maddy receives an urgent call from her beloved grandmother's neighbor, Connor Sullivan. He says her grandmother is missing - and could she come to Seahaven right away? Little does Maddie know that Connor has also reached out to her two sisters, who have long been estranged...and they are also on their way to Seahaven and the family cottage.
Connor is a local businessman and widower. Largely due to her recent heartbreak, Maddie also fosters a distrust of men (in general it seems) but this leads her to make several snap judgments about Connors' motives as well as make some assumptions about his relationships.
I think I have read (if not all, then most) of Denise Hunter's books. I almost always want to rave about them. I found this one to be a total departure from her usual style or "voice", if you will. I can't say I loved it fully, as I usually do. I didn't dislike it either; it was an interesting story, in a lovely setting, with a satisfying conclusion. Beyond that mild endorsement, I will simply encourage you to check it out for yourself.
I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book by Thomas Nelson Publishers in exchange for my honest review.
