What Matters Most

GIVEAWAY

WALSH, COURTNEY

WHAT MATTERS MOST

Emma Woodson is hoping the cobblestone streets of Nantucket and the charm of her late husband's family cottage will be the fresh start she and her young son, CJ need. Securing a dream job at an art gallery is one more step along the path to a new life...and away from a piece of her history she hopes will never be revealed. Falling in love with the kind and handsome guy she hires to clean out the rental apartment above the garage wasn't part of the plan.

Jameson Shaw comes to Nantucket for one reason: deliver his letter to Emma and never return. But when he sees an opportunity to help her, he takes a chance, desperate to atone for his past. He never planned to keep his connection to her husband a secret or to fall in love with her. After all, he knows that their new relationship might not survive the discovery of who he really is.

My Review:

Another Courtney Walsh emotional sucker punch read! She had me on tenterhooks from the very start, cunningly keeping secrets...well, secret...and just hinting at them for well over half the book. I was going out of mind with curiosity. Which means why, yes, I actually did read this book in one sitting.

Why does Jamie feel he has to atone for something connected to Emma? Why is it so hard for him to tell her? What deep, dark secret has been eating him alive? And then there's Emma, life on hold as she struggles with grief and regret for five years. She's been going through the motions of living without really feeling alive and I so wanted to understand why!

And then, by chance (not!) Emma and Jamie meet in Nantucket. Attraction ignites, but romance is rife with pitfalls as they both keep parts of themselves hidden. Such an emotional roller coaster ride! Depression, anguish, fear gradually vanquished by the gift of forgiveness and grace which ultimately leads to acceptance...and, no spoiler here, a hard-won happily ever after.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!

Goal Update: #7 Start a new-to-me series.
