About this listen

Cindy Lawry needs a new roommate now that her sister has moved in with her fiancé. When she can’t find anyone, she puts up a flyer in the window of the Curl Up & Dye salon where she works as a hair stylist and at other places around town. With the summer season ending, she can’t afford to live alone, and she doesn’t want to move in with her mom and her new husband. So the roommate search is on, but she’s not getting many inquiries. After growing up in an abusive household, she’s anxious about letting a stranger into her home and her life.

Jace Carson needs to find a new place to live. The employee housing at the Beachcomer is right out of Animal House, and he’s way past the point in life where living like that is fun. All he wants is a quiet place to be in between working as a bartender at the Beachcomber and visits with his young sons, who live on the island. When he sends a text to the number on the flyer he saw at the grocery store, he doesn’t expect the recipient to be Cindy, the woman he’s been flirting with for weeks at the Beachcomber bar. She comes in and orders water because she suffers from migraines and apologizes for taking up a seat at his bar. He loves having her and her sweet smile at his bar, but he’s not sure that living with her would be such a good idea, especially since all he thinks about every time he sees her is how much he’d like to kiss her.

This story of Jace and Cindy is so moving. He's the biological father of two boys that Seamus and Carolina are raising and trying to get custody of. Jace is totally on board with this and is content to be the boys' friend. So much happens that could derail his drug addiction but with the help of Cindy, his daily addiction meetings and the acceptance of everyone on Gansett, he tries his best to see the best in the situation. I definitely enjoy the banter between the McCarthy family and especially between the original couple of this series, Mac and Maddie.
Here's to another 25 books! I thought the Avery Caris did a great job narrating.

What a wonderful addition to this series!

Visiting old characters is not a bad thing, but the entire book is about a trip down memory lane.

Marie never fails to deliver an amazing journey in each of her books. When Jace was introduced I wanted him Gone!! Now I adore this character as much as the rest! This book shows how people with addictions can get clean, find happiness and Love. I can't wait for the next book.

This was a sweet, funny and wonderful book of love. It gave us a chance to catch up with all the couples we have come to love so much on Gansett Island. It is always great to read a new story about Gansett Island, it’s like coming home to your family as you get to catch up with what is going on in all their lives.  

This book as with others in the series was an extremely well written, sweet, sexy and romantic book. A fantastic addition to the series and the narration by Avery Caris added to my listening pleasure. Although, having said that I do think that a male narrator for the men would really have enhanced the story, but then that is just my opinion.

Entertaining

Fantastic narration only amplifies the goodness of this honest and heartwarming feel good romance. I enjoyed every moment of Jace and Cindy’s story, even though some moments were certainly not easy for Jace, but the resilience of both him and Cindy because of their pasta will really make your heart swell. I also love the funny antics with Mac and Maddie. Poor Mac lol. Always enjoy visiting with other Gansett couples that I know and love as well as some newly blooming ones. As always I can’t wait for more from the island!

Great comeback story

Liked catching up on old established Gansett residents more than this new couple. Just could not get into all the addiction talk and awful backgrounds. I'm all for amends and redemption but don’t want to listen to or read stories about it any more than I would like a book glorifying the mafia like some authors are doing. I just can’t relate or care to with fictional characters. The gay storyline did not effect me one way or another. Can take it or leave it. For a small island a lot of folks battling addiction. Why is there such a trend toward this in all these Gansett books?

Think I'm about done at Gansett
