Summary

Sometimes love is sweeter the second time around.

Tested by the years of career ups and downs in New York, attempting to salvage a loveless marriage for the sake of his daughters, science fiction best-selling author Frank Borges always wonders what happened to the girl he left behind when he vacationed in Sunset Beach, Florida in order to write his next novel.

Carmen remembers the troubled man who poured over his writing like a fiend from the black lagoon. His struggle with alcoholism and neglect is a difficult enemy to overcome, yet she tries, as she begins to fall hard for this older man—who could never be hers to keep—to help bring the spark and magic back to his world. He’d been held in the vicious grips of debilitating writers’ block, but Carmen’s healing touch peels the negative layers away and uplifts him, restoring him to the power he once felt—the power he once had with his words.

But fate plays a cruel trick on them both when he is forced to return to New York to harvest the success and fame he’s garnished at Carmen’s hand.

What has made him stronger, invincible, also splits them apart.

He often wonders what ever happened to her—until he learns she has returned to where they began. Does he deserve a second chance at love?

Second chance meet-cute

This was a well thought out tale of second chances and new beginnings. This story ebbed and flowed like the Floridian tides.

Recently widowed Carmen reflects on her life and makes plans for a different future. Frank, a fairly successful author is in a rut (he'll never admit to writer's block), and is looking for a way out of it. Their lives crash like the waves on the shore and nothing is the same again.

I enjoyed this story of redemption right up until the final chapter which attempted to wrap everything up in a neat bow, but just seemed a little rushed and left me with a couple of questions. This surprised me as 99% of the book was so well written. I will however read this author again because I liked her style.

The narration began fairly slow but picked up as the story unfolded. All in all a very good effort.

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC for an honest review.
