This is the 3rd book in Kimberly Lang's Magnolia Beach series. We first meet Shelby in the first book-Something to Prove-and see her personality. In this book, we see how her family treats her as she's the only girl in a family full of boys/men. She loves working at the family business at the marina.

Declan seems strange to most of the natives there-he is staying on a boat but has no knowledge of how to steer the boat. Plus he stays on the boat most days & nights instead of mingling with the townspeople. But he needs Shelby's help & it is fun to watch him start to interact with the other people in Magnolia Beach.

It was also fun to see other characters & see what they've been up to. It was very hard to put down.

If you enjoy small town stories you will definitely love More than Anything. It is the 3rd story in this series and it brings you back to Magnolia Beach where everyone knows everything about you and has a hard time letting you forget. Shelby Tanner knows that for a fact considering she has lived there her whole life and family and friends have a hard time letting go. She runs the marina and was woken up during the night because a person has stranded his boat nearby. Turns out Declan Hyde has been staying aboard a boat at her marina, and doesn’t know the first thing about boats. Declan is a man in transition moving to Miami from Chicago and is taking time for himself waiting for his new job to start in January.
City boy meets small town girl. I like this premise and it works for Shelby and Declan because he’s out of element in Magnolia Beach so she shows him life in a small town. Declan doesn’t have close family and Shelby has hers in abundance. He has big goals and dreams and she is content to live her life in a small coastal tourist town. They feel an attraction and both know it would just be temporary. He really gets to know the real Shelby that she keeps hidden and with his encouragement she takes a stand for herself with good results. It feels good when you see growth in the characters and that lightbulb moment when they realize what makes them happy. It was a slow and sweet romance between Declan and Shelby and it was a delight to see them fall for one another.
Kimberly Lang has created a small town you wish you could visit because she brings it to life with good and likeable characters. Shelby and Declan seem like an unlikely pair but they love one another and they work it out to be together. What I hope is a good thing is that there are plenty of Tanner cousins and hopefully more stories to come. More than Anything is a great addition and will leave you with a smile on your face.
