Praise for this book
"Phenomenal must read
I loved AJ and Kate in the Rydell series. I ugly cried when she passed away and hated AJ the quiet one alone. It's crazy to think of Cami and Charlie having twin adults I feel like I've known them since they were teenagers playing at the river beach.
I love Isla. She isn't Kate but she is perfect for the older version of AJ.
I love how AJ went into the bakery but doesn't eat sweets but loved her cupcakes.
I can't wait to read more of this series.
I highly recommend this book to everyone who loves a great second chance of love."
"I’m thrilled to have a new chapter with the Reeds and the Rydells! Even more thrilled at the second chance romances of mature adults. While I love a good romance, being a mature woman myself, it’s often hard to relate to the young characters. It’s refreshing to have commonalities and shared experiences with these older couples."
"Another Amazing Story
AJ Reed, who had been married to the love of his life & matriarch of the Rydell family falling in love again after the death of his dear Kate. No one thought it would ever happen, least of all AJ himself. That is until Isla moved into town, newly divorced after being married 40 years. This story had such raw emotion, it drew you in. I literally couldn't put it down. Here I am at 1:30 in the morning writing this. This is another must read by Author Leanne Davis! Can't wait for the next book in the series."
"Loved this story. Every time I think I am over the loss of Kate, it comes up again and my heart breaks more. But, this story is heartwarming and gives hope."
