Brides & Beaches Romance Book 4
A doctor, a wedding planner, and a flat tire... Can Shannon and Jeremiah make a love connection when they work next door to each other?
Shannon Bell has been the owner's assistant at Your Tidal Forever for five years. She's content in her single life and fearful of ever having an intimate relationship with a man due to previous abuse. She sees Jeremiah Yeates in line to get coffee every morning, and sure, he's the drop-dead doctor who works next door to her wedding planning office. But actually starting a relationship with him? Shannon's not so sure about that.
For a year now, Jeremiah has timed his coffee runs so he can run into Shannon. They've been friendly, but he doesn't know how to take his flirty to the next level—until she gets a flat tire in the parking lot and needs a ride to work. He's being honored at an island-wide event for his counseling work with children, and he needs a date. When he asks Shannon, she says yes.
As Shannon and Jeremiah get to know each other, the connection between them is undeniable. He's busy helping his aging parents with their yard work and dealing with his client load. Then the owner at Your Tidal Forever starts training Shannon to take over the whole business. Combined with her still-healing wounds from the past, can Shannon and Jeremiah make it to their own beach wedding? Or will their happily-ever-after go out with the tide?

My Review:
Shannon and Jeremiah are a difficult pair to read. They’ve both got some pretty extensive traumas in their pasts that affect the way they interact with other people, especially in a romantic relationship. I loved that most of the time, these two were very careful with one another’s feelings. Because it’s a complete mess when they aren’t being quite so considerate. I adored Jeremiah. My heart broke for him every time he wasn’t feeling his best self. I know I should have had the same feelings even more intensely for Shannon, but somehow, I felt blocked from her. And when everything goes sideways, she’s not the character who has my full sympathy. I have to say, I really appreciated that this book spotlights the value of therapy (and therapy animals) for good mental health.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.
