Ocean Breeze, Book 1

By: Sherryl Woods

Narrated by: Shannon McManus

In a trade-off she’s lived to regret, Emily Castle left home years ago to become an interior designer. The youngest of the three sisters, Emily desperately wanted to prove herself. Success, though, came at the cost of leaving behind the man she loved.

For Boone Dorsett, losing Emily left his heart shattered, but another woman was waiting in the wings. Now a widower with a young son, Boone has a second chance with Emily when a storm brings her home. But with his former in-laws threatening a custody suit, the stakes of loving her are higher than ever.

Will fate once again separate them - or is the time finally right for these two star-crossed lovers?

Critic reviews

“Woods proves her expertise in matters of the heart as she gives us characters that we genuinely relate to and care about.” ( RT Book Reviews on Moonlight Cove)

 good book, slow throughout

The book has a story that you’ve heard 100 times before. It was slow to get started and continued as such.It was sweet.

Either Story or Narrator are One Dimensional

I'm not sure if it is the narrator or the storyline but I found this book to be very shallow & one dimensional. I kept listening hoping it was get better but it never did really. The hero of the story needs to stand up to his irrational pushing former mother in law. Both main characters are selfish. I kept wondering if I was actually reading the book instead of listening to it would I like it better. I don't know & probably never will because I doubt that I will listen or read any more of Ms. Woods books.

Great Storyline!
