Returning to Laguna Beach after four tours in the Middle East, Christian Wolfe leaves the military behind and buys a wine bar, vowing to keep his life simple. He fights to keep his devastating PTSD a secret and refuses to burden anyone else with his baggage. When stunning Kelly Prescott and her red stilettos saunter into town, she drives him past the bonds of his self-control. Successful in her father’s stuffy law firm, Kelly’s too compassionate to survive in the cutthroat world of corporate litigation. Leaving behind both family and courtroom drama, she moves to Laguna to become general counsel for a nonprofit veterans’ organization. She didn’t bargain on a gorgeous modern-day Heathcliff, and in Christian, she sees another kind of challenge—one she can’t resist.
I had a book to read and I’m glad I picked this one.
This was my first Claire Marti novel. I noticed it is book three in the Finding Forever in Laguna series. The fact that I didn’t read the first two always makes me nervous that I’m going to feel like I am missing something but let me reassure you that isn’t the case. I read this book in one sitting and never felt left out, lost or confused. The only feeling I felt was interest in reading the previous books. The fact that I read this in one sitting demonstrates that it was a quick read for me.
The heroine, Kelly, was a beautiful woman all around who I found easy to respect. She was well matched with the hero, Christian. Together they made an adorable couple with a splash of spice. Each had their own internal conflicts to overcome with the support of their friends and eventually each other. Their relationship was two steps forward and three steps back. I could feel the tension and attraction between them and I was more than ready to stop the back stepping and just move forward. Fortunately the writing style was skilled enough to keep my interest in the back stepping parts otherwise I’d have gotten in my car to go to Hobby Lobby.
I have to comment about the plot surrounding Kelly working for her father’s law firm and her reasons for leaving. I knew this was a contemporary romance vs. a suspense romance but that plot thread easily could have been so much more. I was greatly disappointed that nothing evolved from her findings. Christian could have been the perfect hero to come to her rescue. Kelly saved the incriminating evidence for what? I felt like a few chapters were edited out. However, chapter 21 it’s all resolved. I appreciate a book that provides closure and no loose threads but I felt deprived from the thicker plot possibilities.
Overall it was an entertaining read. I love how Kelly and Christian made me laugh a few times. I enjoyed watching them fall in love. Sunset in Laguna was an easy feel good read. I know Christian is going on my book boyfriend list. I’d like to personally thank him for making this read fantastic.
