Jordan Velsor and Nick Rinaldi have each had serious issues in their past that they have had to overcome/ When fate (and a little family meddling) brought them together during a major storm when Nick found Jordan seriously ill, a spark definitely ignites between them. Now as the days turn into weeks together the question is really going to be can they work through their own heartache and nightmares to realize that you can trust and depend on someone you could love forever to help you through it. Or will they allow what happened in their past to overcome them and stop them from having a future together.
I have had the opportunity to read all of Jeannie’s books and each of them has wowed me, a few are on the read over and over because you can’t get sick of them list. This one though I can honestly say, was different than the others. I am not sure if it was lacking somewhere or slow in some sections or what but it didn’t hold me like her the previous ones. I am not saying it is bad at all because I know that many will love to read it and rave over it. For after all who doesn’t love to read a story about love, families and beating the odds.
The second book in the Compass Cove series, You Send Me is emotional and heartwarming. As always, Jeannie Moon writes realistic, believable characters the reader can relate to. Nick and Jordan both have emotional traumas they must work through before they can have their happily ever after.
This book was awesome from the beginning to the end. When Jordan gets pneumonia and is so sick Nick takes care of her. Her father is in Hospice and she can't go visit him so Nick goes instead. He truly is perfect except he has secrets that he doesn't want to share with anyone. It is a truly amazing book that keeps you wondering if they can work things out and truly be a the perfect couple.
Jeannie Moon has done a great job with this series and I can wait til the next book is here to continue the series. A truly amazing storyteller and you won't want to miss this one.
This could have been a 5 star book if the author would have left the F bomb out. It was well written and had a great story line with lots of emotions. Thank you Tule Publishing via NetGalley for the copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.
A cheating fiancé, caring for her sick dad, nearly demolishing her car in a wreck during a bad storm Jordan Velsor doesn't know how much more she can take, but her landlord's grandson Nick, might be the salvation or ruin.
You Send Me by Jeannie Moon is such a classic love story that you just have to read it. You will just fall in love from the very first page, both with the main characters and the town surrounding them. It has the right flow through out the book and the author won´t disappoint it´s readers.
This series has not disappointed in delivering a second story to touch your heart. Nick and Jordon provide the warmth, depth, and emotions that pull you into their story...keeping you invested in the journey they take in realizing that their HEA has a bit of magic leading them in discovering their True North.
I have no doubt that the remaining stories in the series will pull me into the lives of the characters who’ll also find the magic in their own HEA.

Loved this book. Haven't read this author before but will definitely be looking out for more. Would love to live in Compass Cove. Don't want to give too much away but it's a must to read
Another book that is part of a series that hasn't been listed that way on here so I won't be picking it up as I am not invested enough to pick up the first one.
I really want to live in Compass Cove. I want to go for coffee at Rinaldi’s cafe only to be talked into a full meal by Lina. I would really love that. But I digress…
I think my favorite part of this book is that event thought Jordan was so sick and looked her worst, Nick still flirted and thought she was the most beautiful woman.
Nick is so sweet and caring. Who wouldn’t want the good doctor?
A beautiful love story.
This was a contemporary small town romance full of friends and family and the cutest dog in the world. This is the second book in the series and I did not have a hard time understanding the book.
What I loved about this book was that family was at the root of everything in the fictional town of Compass Cove and family takes care of each other, even when they don’t want you to.
Nick and Jordan are two people who have been through their own personal “stuff”, but have come out stronger despite it, and have had their friends and family to help them get through it. They both are determined, tenacious, stubborn, and loving. They both have family in town, and family is very important to both of them.
They both grew up in the same small town, they both have deep roots within the town, they know a lot of the same people, and people talk, and rumors start.
Their relationship starts out unconventionally, and it spirals out of control after that. I will let the reader find out what happens if they decide to read the book, but needless to say, it was funny to read and I found myself laughing on the plane on the way to RT 2018.
I like that they are willing to communicate with each other, and not lead each other on. I like that they both have a lot on the line with each other and they both know it. They are on an even playing field with each other and they both depend on each other through this relationship. It’s a partnership right from the beginning.
I have to mention Nick’s Grandparents as they are a large part of the story. They were great; they really made the story even better. Nona doesn’t know how to stay out of people’s business, but instead of finding her annoying, or interfering, I found her to be funny, helpful, and loving. She can be interfering, but she does know when to back off and leave well enough along. I found myself giggling at Nick’s grandparents and it was great.
If small-town romance is the readers’ choice, then I would recommend this one. Give it a shot it’s not bad.
I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy. This is the first book that I have read from this author and I will definitely read more. Jordan is engaged to be married and finds out her fiance is cheating on her, so she dumps him. In the middle of a raging storm and battling pneumonia, she finds her true love. Their journey is not an easy one, but love finds the way!
I REALLY liked this story! It was a good read and I really connected with Jordan Veslor. She’s a strong, independent woman who has sworn off men since she broke off her engagement. I really understood why Jordan was so guarded in all that she did and her line of thinking. I REALLY loved how all that she thought to be true was changed when she met Nick. Nick, a strong, sexy and the slightly damaged doctor entered her world like a gale force wind and rattled her cage in the best way possible. Both of these characters had very real flaws and very real life lessons to learn. I liked seeing that struggle and watching these two overcome the obstacles they faced.
I wasn’t a fan of the story flip-flopping from third person description to first person dialogue immediately after. There was quite an abundance of details given in the third person that could have been left out. I did enjoy the dialogue and conversations between all characters. Certain parts were quite witty and slightly comical.
Overall it was a good book with a big lesson to be learned. Emotions were felt from angst, heartbreak and healing. This was my first read by this author and I’m interested to see this author progress in her future books
You Send Me has just enough angst to draw readers in and the perfect pitch of heart to never let go. Moon is a soul whisperer. Her tales of bruised hearts move me to tears, even as they uplift my heart. Jordan and Nick could be anyone. The ever winding road has not always been kind to either, yet it manages to guide them to each other. At their most vulnerable, they have much to teach each other. She has to find the strength to be weak and he has to find the courage to heal. You Send Me is about accepting weakness and gaining strength because not despite of it.
I fell in love with this book from the first page. The characters and story line were so well thought out and written that you felt as though you were part of their story. It is definitely a book I could go back and read over and over and still fall in love.

You Send Me by Jeannie Moon
Love hearing about connection with the compass-we have many in our possession.
Jordan is about to get married but...she had found him with another woman...
Story also follows Nicky who's staying at his grandparents house at the beach who also rent out the house Jordan lives in. She found her new pet helped fill the void.
He's recuperating from surgeries to his hip and there are more to come.
Love the very descriptive details of the area-love the ocean and water scenes.
He, an ex Navy doctor came to her resuce during the storm when she had just left her car with supplies to help make her better, when the oak tree fell on the car.
She not only had a chest cold but bronchitiis. He helps take care of her and her dog during the storm.
Love how she treasures her dog and father and allows Nick to help her out with both.
There is a lot to this story! Such tender caring moments shared. Major misunderstandings occur after Nick's visit with her father...he's attracted to her and she to him but they are still hiding things from one another.
She wants her father in hospice to die happy and to show him how she will be loved after he's gone. Adult situations, swearing and sex scenes. Love how realistic this is, the location and learning new things. Would love to read more from this author. Love hearing of the connection the compass has to this whole story-priceless! Funny scenes and hilarious ones when she meets his whole family for dinner and she stays longer...and yes very tragic teary eyed scenes as well.
Other works by the author are highlighted at the end along with 'about the author'.
Didn't realize this was a series because I read it as a stand alone and it was perfect. Will probably get my hands on the first book.
Received this review copy from Tule Publishing via Negalley and this is my honest opinion.

This book was a good read! It was low on steam but high on charm! It's about Jordan and Nick, Jordan is caring for her sick father and a fierce storm hits! Her cold has developed into pneumonia, lucky her landlords son Nick a former navy doctor comes to the rescue! They start a slow burn, emotional, sweet love story! It was a little dad for me and I don't do sad books but definitely try it for yourself! Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!
Such a sweet romance!
I love the history behind Compass Cove--the story of the town's name origin is just delightful, and the legend worked into this particular romance in a fun way. Jordan and Nick are great characters, and they make it easy to root for them to get a clue--man, does it take them a while!--and to finally get to their HEA.
The story was a bit longer than it probably needed to be, and the reasons for starting the whole "fake relationship" part of the plot were a tad flimsy, but it's hard to argue with the results. This was my first book from Ms. Moon, but definitely not my last--book one in the series ( Then Came You ), with the librarian and the former football star, sounds particularly intriguing... :)
Rating: 4 stars / B+

Favorite Quotes:
The dog sighed— sighed her annoyance at Jordan. A dog with an attitude. Didn’t it figure? Gertie practically rolled off the plush cushion and settled on her back on the blue patterned rug. Her short little legs were straight up in the air, feigning death.
Nona was wringing her hands, and when she reached in her pocket, Nick thought she might break out her rosary. Whenever someone was sick, Lina hit the beads.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want a wife and kids, he did, but the Navy was his first wife and she hadn’t let go easily.
Even her dog was in love with him. As if she was staking her claim, Gertie laid at his feet and rolled over with a moan. The slut.
He wasn’t afraid of much. In fact, Nick could only think of one thing that truly scared his grandfather. His grandmother.
My Review:
You Send Me was a slowly developing, tender, sweet, and somewhat angsty read with frequent bites of amusing humor and wit, and just a tiny bit of steam. It is always refreshing to me when the main characters aren’t in constant conflict with each other but are miraculously kind, nurturing, and supportive of each other – why is that such a rare occurrence in novels? I adored these characters, they were people I’d like to know and spend time with. The storylines were relevant and the writing was fluid, easy to follow, and held my interest. I’m enjoying this sweet series and look forward to a return to this pleasant community and circle of friends.
I really fell in love with this book. The characters pulled me right in. What really made this book work for me was I felt like part of Compass Cove. I felt liked I lived there. I also enjoyed Jordan's dog Gertie. She's a little character. I knew I was going to cry while reading this one and I did. It gets quite emotional for me and the tears started flowing. My heart broke for Jordan. I wanted both Nick and her get their HEA. Both Nick and Jordan have some inner demons to work through if they want to reach that HEA. This was a beautiful story that grabbed me right from the beginning and wouldn't let me go. It's definitely not one you want to pass up.
