Finding Love on Bainbridge Island by Annette M. Irby

Here is the book summary:

Neither of them is ready for a relationship, but love may not give them an out. 

Jenna-Shea Brown considers herself a broken therapist. Years ago, she witnessed something that caused PTSD. She can’t let her boss or her patients know about her battle. Who would want to trust her to help them, when she can’t help herself? She’s finally able to find a fresh start in her family’s beach cabin, but the renovations aren’t complete. Her parents have hired her ex-boyfriend to finalize them, but his negligence led to her being in the wrong place at the wrong time all those years ago. 

Liam Barrett is trying to prove he’s nothing like his deadbeat dad. He’s working hard, yet still failing. Adrenaline and adventure offer him a diversion, but maybe he can’t escape his genes. He’d like to make things right with Shea, but he’s unsure if she’ll forgive him. Meanwhile, he’s challenged to forgive his father. He’s also worried about Shea and all these episodes she won’t explain. Now that they’re back in close proximity, he’s falling for her again. But can anything heal the past? 

And now, my review:

This book had me hooked from the dedication to the authors closing thoughts. I found this book to be a beautifully painted romance with the settling of the gorgeous Pacific Northwest.  I loved the "zany" aunt and I think we all should go with whatever accent befits our situation/day. There are several real situations and need for God's restoration in the relationships of family and friends. Forgiveness is quite a theme. You'll definitely want to check out this great summer read and take a trip to the beautiful waters of Washington State with an amazing author. 

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.
