Finding Love in Friday Harbor by Annette M. Irby

Here’s the book review:

Will keeping his promise to win back his first love lead to another broken heart? Professor Mikaela Rhoades devises a way to benefit her students’ education while helping a family friend on San Juan Island. Launching a new marine biology program involving Cahill Touring—a local whale tour operation in gorgeous Friday Harbor—takes her back to her first love. Now she must face her past and get through the summer and on to her next assignment. Captain Hunter Cahill took over the family business after his father’s death. He’s grieving and hoping this stodgy professor Mom has lined up will help resurrect the failing business. He’s not prepared for Mikaela, his former fiancée, to drop back into his life. Years ago, he promised his father he’d pursue her if she ever returned to the island unattached. The more time they spend together, the easier it is to keep that promise. But, she’s still destined to leave. How much will it cost him to spend the summer romancing Mikaela?

And now, my review:

Love is in the air in this one!  Come escape to the picturesque, quaint island in the Pacific Northwest and see what’s happening with the main couple in this one!  It’s exciting, it’s exhilarating and it’s sure to be a page turner.  I felt the author did a great job of developing her characters and I found myself feeling their feelings throughout.  Having been to Friday Harbor myself, I felt that the scenery was well penned and made me feel like I was right there, even to the point of wanting to be there again. 

I can relate to this quote in the book: “There were three reactions to fearful things – fight, flight, or freeze.”  And I loved the wording of this quote: “Denial was the ferry from the ache of reality to the island of functionality.  Heaven help her if she ever stopped crossing that channel.”

This is an absolute MUST READ that I highly recommend!

I received a complimentary e-copy of this book from the author. I was not required to write a review, and the opinions are my own.
