After Melani’s grandma passed, she decided to buy the beach house to honor her grandma’s will. However, it was not a fancy vacation house, more like a haunted house that’s been empty for a long time. While looking for a contractor, she ran into Josh who was an excellent contractor at his farewell party and soon would be moving to NYC. He decided to help Melani only till his moving day, but as the date got closer, the to-do list was growing too and so was their longing for each other.
I really liked how they tied the stories about the previous homeowner to Melani and Josh. It kept me guessing and wondering and I couldn’t put down the book! All the twists and turns and surprises that I didn’t catch till later!! I didn’t see it coming!!! Wow! Brilliant!
I also liked how Melani grew to be confident as the story goes and found her own path through the difficulties. It felt real and my heart was aching with her.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. After seeing the beautiful cover, not knowing anything about the author or her other book, I took a chance and it was such a warm, heart pounding, romantic love story of two heart broken people with mystery and twists. I would totally recommend it!!
I want to thank NetGalley and Bookouture for approving my request for ARC. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
