I know it's the first debut I've read that has gone to my favorites shelf, and another much needed reminder of what makes romance so special.īeth is living the life of perfection.well, someone else's idea of perfection. I almost cannot believe that this is a debut novel. One that includes an island, a dog, and a man she can never have.įive big fat romantic, funny, sexy, Meant to Be Stars!! Are solitary nights and mind-numbing dinner parties really what she wants? Torn between loyalty to Lucas and her growing feelings for Joe, Beth rethinks her choices and contemplates a future different from the one laid out before her. When a demanding case pulls Lucas back to the city, Beth realizes her fiancé is already married – to his work. That means Beth is off limits, no matter how much he wants her. Though the men haven’t been close for years, Joe would never put the moves on his brother’s fiancé.
Wild-haired, sweet-natured Beth doesn’t fit the part, but she does fit Joe and his island better than any woman he’s ever met. Joe expects his brother’s fiancé to follow the materialistic, blonde-bimbo stereotype that is Lucas’ usual fare. But Beth’s human tranquilizer turns out to be her future brother-in-law, Joe Dempsey, and their instant attraction is both unwelcome and undeniable. Lucky for her, a lovable mutt and his tall, sexy, blue-eyed owner provide enough distraction to subdue her paralyzing panic attack.
Lifelong people-pleaser Beth Chandler will do anything to make a good impression on her future in-laws, including defy her fear of boats to make the ferry crossing required to meet them.
