Join USA TODAY bestselling author Sheila Roberts for a seaside escape to the beaches of Moonlight Harbor

Celeste Jones has plans for a perfect summer with her boyfriend (and hopefully soon-to-be fiancé)—until he dumps her to be with the woman he’s had on the side for months. Heartbroken and furious, Celeste resolves to move on. When the going gets tough, the tough…okay, the not-so-tough go to the beach.

As soon as school lets out for the summer, she waves goodbye to her first-graders, packs up her bikini and heads for Moonlight Harbor, where she knows her big sister, Jenna, will receive her with open arms. Jenna could probably use some help at the Driftwood Inn, and Celeste is happy to do chores around the place in exchange for a relaxing summer escape. She just needs something—or someone—to distract her from her troubles.

Finding The One can be tricky, and Jenna is determined to make sure Celeste gets it right this time around. Not that Jenna’s an expert. She’s still trying to sort out her own love life. But if both sisters listen to their hearts, eventually they’re bound to discover that life—and love—is good at the beach.

Celeste couldn't wait to be married to her boyfriend until she found out he had someone on the side. Heading to her sister to help out at the Driftwood Inn and lick her wounds anything is better then wallowing in what she was dealing with. Now her sister is doing a bit of meddlings and trying to steer her sister to the right type of guy while Celeste is just trying to figure her life out. She doesn't seem to trust herself when it comes to the love department and is just looking to settle.

This was such a nice summery read, you can't help but just want to read this book at the beach. I loved getting to know the characters and seeing what Celest was dealing with. It was clear Celeste didnt trust her judgment and yet still seems to jump into situations and it made the book all the more enjoyable with the bit of drama and tension between characters. I loved getting to see how celestes summer was going after what she went though you can't help but hope for the best and choose sides to who she should choose. It was just such a nice contemporary book and I really enjoyed it. Perfect summer read!
