Description
"Julia Gabriel does an amazing job with this devastatingly, heartbreaking love story." -- RT Book Reviews, 4.5 Stars, Top Pick
Return to the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in Julia Gabriel's new series about love, family, and second chances ... The
300-year-old town of St. Caroline, Maryland, is part fishing village
and part summer playground for the wealthy and powerful. Meet the Trevor
women--Michelle, Becca, Charlotte, Natalie, Cassidy and Lauren--and
their popular quilt shop, Quilt Therapy. Across town, the men of the
Wolfe family have been the backbone of the St. Caroline fire department
for generations--and Tim, Jack, Matt and Oliver are continuing the
tradition.
The girl who couldn't get anything right ...
No
good deed goes unpunished. That pretty much summed up Becca Trevor's
life. Help out a woman being harassed in a bar--and get fired? Check.
Come home for parents' anniversary party--and cause her mother's quilt
shop to burst into flames? Check again. Help a geeky classmate and
family friend lose his virginity before college--and get pregnant? Check
check check.
The boy who could do no wrong ...
Jack
Wolfe was the golden boy of St. Caroline. Smart, Ivy League-educated,
law school-bound. He has a nice, steady job as an attorney with a
hotshot tech company in California ... well no, scratch that. The
thought of spending his life in an office pushing paper filled him with
such existential dread that he dropped out of law school a year ago
without telling anyone. He'd much rather follow his father and brothers
into the family business--firefighting. But he's also the namesake of
his uncle Jack, who was killed in the line of duty. It would kill Jack's
mother to see her youngest child join the fire department, too ... and
she's dying already.
And a secret that will change their lives forever ...
The
last thing Jack Wolfe needed was a baby. All those Ivy League dreams
would go right down the drain--and Becca knew she would get blamed for
it. So seven years ago she left town without a word, had the baby by
herself, and arranged for the adoption. She never intended to see Jack
Wolfe again. But now they're both back in St. Caroline and falling into a
friendship ... maybe even more. Becca always planned to keep their baby
a secret forever. But now that secret needs her and Becca can't say
no--and can't keep the news of their daughter from Jack any longer. Can
their budding love survive the revelation that they are already a
family?
Can the biggest mistake of their lives be the best thing that ever happened to them?

Second book in the series but can also be read as a standalone.
This was so full of emotion with the 2 main characters both struggling to find themselves, achieve and live up to what they think their families expect of them. This had me enthralled right from the start and I laughed and cried more than once.
I enjoyed the whole story and learning about these 2 characters and watching them both grow. I also liked how the whole thing ended and really look forward to reading more in this series.

Beautifully written story that pulls at your heart strings with powerful characters that will grip you from the very first page and hold you prisoner until the turn of the very last page!
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.
Claire S, Reviewer
Struggled with the first book in this series, but i'm glad I read this one, it was such an emotional story that leaves the reader emotionally drained, but in a good way, will definitely read the rest of the series

Wonderfully written !!!!!!!!!!
I just enjoyed the book.All the emotions jack goes through - grief for his mother,love for Becca,sweet relation with his father and brothers - were depicted beautifully.
I just loved Becca's character - so much of self-doubt but always trying to be strong.And by the time I reached point of Jack and Becca's marriage I had tears in my eyes.Each relation was portrayed so realistically in this book,it made you connect with all the characters and feel their grief,happiness,anxiety - basically everything.
Awesome read for someone who loves books which can make them cry out of happiness or sadness.

I assumed that this would book would be one thing, but it was so much more. There are great characters and several stories intermixed in the one main story. I did not see the major twist coming until it was too late and it made the book that much better. This was my first read by this author but I am now looking forward to reading her other titles.
