Synopsis

 

He ticks every one of her “never again” boxes…

Jo Weaver loves her job as a boat mechanic for her family’s marina in River’s Edge, Indiana. But when she’s pulled away from her high school reunion with her sisters to fix a stranded yacht, she can’t restrain her irritation. Jo doesn’t like wealthy men who think they can have whatever they want, and she has no intention of falling for rich and charming again.

Born into the international Briggs Hotels empire, Alex Briggs has never felt comfortable with his life of privilege. Abandoning his family’s business to pursue medical research, he’s far more at home in his lab. When the yacht he restored himself breaks down on the way to an important conference, Alex begrudgingly goes in search of a boat mechanic and falls, literally, into Jo Weaver’s arms. The fireworks he feels are impossible to ignore.

Jo does her best to keep Alex in the business zone, but he keeps slipping into something more. Can she trust her fragile heart, especially when Alex and his life-altering research are so far from River’s Edge?

Review

 

This small town, River’s Edge, has become quite endearing to me. I always enjoy small towns where everyone knows one another, but at the same time, there are still secrets that aren’t known by all. This trilogy revolves around a set of triplets. The youngest, Jo, is the focus of this story. She had a tragedy in her past that has jaded her against relationships, that is, until she meets Alex. Alex has his own family burdens that he has carried for many years. I really enjoyed watching his story unfold and the forgiveness he gives himself for those past events. I won’t go into detail because I believe that would give away a lot of the plot line.

There is something that just clicks with these two, and that is how it should be when it is the right person for you. It just clicks, and while the path won’t always be easy, it does become somewhat easier with that one person by your side.

There are a few heart-stopping moments in the book that might take your breath away.  But I loved the resolution and the fact that both Jo and Alex learned a lot about themselves in the process of falling in love with each other.

I have to admit that I love that Jo’s job is as a boat mechanic!

You can read this book on its own, but Jasmine’s story is referenced in this book, so it might make more sense to read it first. We give this book 4 paws up.
