Escape to Matchmaker Bay in this hilarious and heartwarming second chance romance from the USA Today bestselling "master of witty banter" (Entertainment Weekly).

Eve Abbott has a problem-actually, make that a lot of problems. And they're all going to get worse the moment her toes hit the sand in Matchmaker Bay. Once a blissful summer escape, now the tiny town just reminds Eve of loss. Inheriting her aunt's beloved Mermaid Inn is the only reason Eve is coming back. She's definitely not ready to handle nosy neighbors, extensive renovations, or the discovery that a certain heartbreaker still lives down the street...

Police Chief Sawyer Collins always does the right thing, even when it costs him everything. Like Evie. He's spent the past ten years trying to forget her--to forget how right she felt in his arms, to forget the pain in her eyes the day she left. The last thing he expects is to see her back in town or to find that the spark between them is as strong as ever. Sawyer knows this is his only chance to prove that his feelings have always been real... before Eve turns tail and leaves for good.

Includes the bonus novella Meant to Be by Alison Bliss!

After the loss of her aunt Eve is left with her aunts Mermaid Inn. At the state of the house the place could use some TLC but after Eve plans to do the bare minimum then leave. But when a part of the will requires her to keep the Inn for year, Eves plan to quietly come in and out of town goes out the window. Now shes back to seeing the people of her past which includes the now Police Chief Sawyer Collins who broke her heart. It seems old feelings haven't went away and there is a clear deadline so well see whats in store for the two.

I love books with second chances at romance theres something hopeful about them. I love seeing the people work them out and getting the full picture. I loved getting to know the characters, seeing thier backstories and really caring and hoping for the best. There are bits of drama here and there that arent so bad. I loved seeing them work together and work on fixing the house and working on what happened to them in the past that the only problem that was looming ever closer was the deadline knowing things are going to end soon and decisions need to be made. Overall I really enjoyed this book.
