Forever on the Bay

GIVEAWAY

MCCLAIN, LEE TOBIN

FOREVER ON THE BAY

Safe harbor and new beginnings await on the Chesapeake Bay...

Pleasant Shores cop Evan Stone has worked hard to become a man of his word, overcoming the alcoholism that sent him down the wrong path in his youth. So when his late best friend's sister asks for his help, he doesn't hesitate. He promised he'd watch out for Cassie, and the cottage next to his will be a perfect short-term refuge for her and her dog. The other half of that promise -- to stay away from Cassie romantically -- is harder to keep.

My Review:

Lee Tobin McClain knows how how to emotionally bludgeon a reader before soothing her with hope and happily-ever-afters. :-)

I'd categorize this as a clean, Women's Fiction / Contemporary Romance hybrid. That's because there's a whole lot more going on besides Evan and Cassie's romance. Like a secondary love story along with multiple character POVs and a whole lot of issue reckoning before said happily-ever-after.  

I love the depth this author brings to her stories. She isn't afraid to tackle tough topics with grace and compassion, shining light into the dark recesses of life's grittier problems. There's even a bit of suspense and lurking danger! And a whole lot of character growing besides. All spun together with McClain's storytelling wizardry which always leaves me blissfully happy and wanting more.

Forever on the Bay is the sixth book in The Off Season series but it can be read as a standalone. I've only read a few of the other books (and you can bet I'll be playing catch up soon!) though fans of the series will be thrilled to catch up with former hero and heroines and this quaint seaside town. 

Goal Update: #2 Catch up on series I'm behind in, #5 Diversify my reading
