Tia Gets a Second Chance at Love When an Old Crush Suddenly Reappears
Tia D'Amico is thrilled to move to San Francisco to help her aunt transform an old luxury yacht into an upscale floating restaurant. What's not to love? Sunset dinner cruises, upscale wedding receptions--the possibilities are endless and far more appetizing than staying in a monotonous job in her Podunk hometown. Besides, some of her best memories are tied to San Francisco--especially the memory of Leo Parker, her crush from a long-ago sailing camp.
When Leo Parker himself turns out to be the yacht's captain, Tia is floating on air. But will it all come crashing down around her when she discovers his heart belongs to someone else?
Get ready for a romantic summer in San Francisco, where the future glistens brighter than the bay at sunset.
**********************************************************************************************************************************************
I was looking forward to reading this book by Melody Carlson as I love her Christmas novels, but sadly I was disappointed and let down. While the premise for the book sounded promising, there was a lot left to be desired. There were no lessons to be learned, no great truths to be attained, and sadly there were a couple of places where sin was made fun of and taken lightly. It is never right to laugh at sin or make jokes about sin, and I did not appreciate it in the least. My sister was planning on reading this book, but I told her about my issues with the book and she agreed with me that it is not worth her reading. Just like I could not recommend this book to my sister, I cannot recommend it to anyone else either.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Revell Publishers in exchange for my honest review.
