Maggie Sinclair has tried everything to save her family's business. Her options are dwindling, and she needs someone who can turn things around--fast. Problem is, the only person who can help her is trouble with a capital T. The Sinclair and Pierce families have been feuding for nearly 30 years, but that hasn't stopped Owen Pierce from noticing Maggie. And he likes what he sees--a lot. But getting involved would mean risking his family, his inheritance, and above all, his heart. Can Maggie and Owen keep their simmering attraction at bay--or will mixing business and pleasure bring nothing but heartache?

My thoughts:
A sweet little book about forbidden love. Though, they were best friends in a way as kids. They always played together. Then he did not show up at the beach or stayed away. And now they are grown ups who can tell their dads to shove it. I mean come on, dads. Ha. SO yes they do not really care.

Maggie loves her work, but her dad can be a handful and does not like changes. And the business is not going well. She is so busy, so stressed, and I must say, work really played a big part in this book. At least her did. His, well he was at work, but we did not see as much as we did with her work. And her love for it really made me like her.
Owen works with his dad in rel estate. And sure he is busy too, but not as stressed as a certain Maggie. He is more stressed cos his dad is being a pain. He was a really sweet guy, normal you know.
And these two meet here and there and finally take the chance to see if there can be more. Fathers be damned.
And there is lie that will cause drama, but it is not a lie told to her, but still she gets all angry and honestly, there drama was a bit forced. Why was she angry over it? It was not about her directly. Well it is and is not. But it is not a lie told to her. And I felt she over reacted. I am glad that it was over quickly. It is not a spoiler cos when you see it you know that is the thing that will cause drama.

Friends, the beach, and romance. What more can one want.
Narrator Veronica Worthington
I took me a while to warm up to her. I mean I liked her voice from the start, but her male and female voices sounded the same. Her female voices sounded the same. Which means that almost everyone sounded the same.
But she was a truly good narrator that still made me enjoy it. That made me forgive the range
It looks good! If I remember correctly I heard great things about this author
ReplyDeleteI read some of her works aaaages ago
DeleteSign me up! Friends, Beach and Romance is my type of book!
ReplyDeleteWoot!
DeleteIt's been a while since I've read one by her. Thanks for the review. I know what you mean about the narrator, glad you did finally warm up to her, only a few narrators I can think of do a great job between sexes and same sex character voices.
ReplyDeleteSame here.
DeleteI know some great ones too, and it does say something that I still liked her even if her range was not that good. But I do feel that she can become better
"Friends, the beach, and romance. What more can one want."
ReplyDeleteA bit of darkness? A murder? Poison? ;p
No murder and poison! Kittens and ice cream!
DeleteI've only read one of her books but this sounds like a good one too.
ReplyDeleteIt was
DeleteAlmost! YAY
ReplyDeleteI like a friends to lovers with forbidden elements, too bad about the drama being forced, but it sounds like it still was a good listen.
ReplyDeleteIt was still silly thing that she just blew up
DeleteLOL yep, forbidden love until you grow up and can tell your dad to shove it. Being an adult has its perks ;)
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Haha, yes I did like that they just went for it
DeleteOh dear those dads sound like a pain!
ReplyDeleteWell, one ws good!
DeleteAww, this sounds sweet! Except for the dads...what jerks. Thankfully it sounds like these two know when to tell them to butt out, lol.
ReplyDeleteHehe, yes screw u dads
DeleteI haven't heard of this one before. I am happy to hear that you liked the narrator despite her use of the same voice for all of the characters. What is with these dads?
ReplyDeleteDads are aholes
DeleteNah, there was a good reason
Forbidden love is like my favorite kind of love in books and films.
ReplyDeleteSame!
DeleteHmmm... I'm tempted because Beach, friends, romance... but sounds like too much drama for a lazy summer day.
ReplyDeleteThe drama was luckily at the end, but it was just so...I mean come on girl, he never lied to you
DeleteI do enjoy forbidden love ;)
