Two souls, two secrets, one happy ending?

I’m new to the work of Morgan Malone and this was a great introduction. The writing flowed well and once I started the book, I couldn’t put it down. I fell in love with the characters and needed to know what would happen next.

Missy is feisty, as described in the blurb. The woman knows what she wants and what she doesn’t. I liked her forthright approach. It was refreshing to read about an older heroine (over 25 yrs old) who had her head screwed on straight. I loved Missy immediately. Then there’s Don. This man… wow. I could see him and I would love to see him on the big screen. He’s sad, but sweet, a painter and the brooding… I was sucked right in. The chemistry between Don and Missy is fun, but tender, too. Oh and the cat. I loved Lady. She’s a pistol.

The cast of characters is wonderful and even though I hadn’t read the other books in the Barefoot Bay world, I didn’t feel lost. Great reading.

If you’re looking for a warm holiday read that’s perfectly quick, but just right, then this might be the one for you.
