“Does the journey negate the destination? Or does the journey prepare you for it?”
In one fell swoop, Maren rejected her boyfriend’s marriage proposal (her reaction is one he definitely wasn’t expecting), walked away from her job as a park ranger, and took off with her dog to Northern Wisconsin. It was the site of some of her happiest memories growing up, and it’s where the old bait shop that she inherited is located.
While her decision to uproot her life is met with some criticism from her family—especially her older brother, Liam—Maren is determined to find her own footing and restore the bait shop and apartment so she can put it up for sale. She’s not counting on the support of Joe, Liam’s best friend, who runs his family’s resort while raising his two young children.
Little by little, she finds herself becoming a part of Joe’s life. His son Anders admires Maren’s fishing skills, while his daughter Lucy, who is on the autism spectrum, feels safe with her. Even though Liam has warned Maren from getting involved with Joe, the chemistry between them intensifies until they can’t resist surrendering to their feelings.
I loved so many things about this book. It’s romantic, super steamy, emotional, and funny. It features appearances from Hahn’s last two books, but this can definitely be read as a standalone. And the characters are incredible—I fell in love with Anders and Lucy so completely as I did with Maren and Joe. Hahn has given me another example of how much I enjoy her books.
