About this ebook

He's a risk taker, she's never taken a risk in her life...now she'll risk everything to win his heart.

Seamstress, Sammy Jo Lovely has never done a risky thing in her entire life. Now, alone and with a promise to her beloved granny that she’ll actually do the things on her bucket list, she’s moved to Windswept Bay to change her life. Learning to scuba dive is top of her list, along with swimming in the ocean, taking a boat ride and feeling the sand between her toes…yes, her life has been sheltered. Maybe being near the ocean and a dive shop will inspire her to actually do something. Then she meets her handsome new neighbor and what she wants in life takes on a whole new meaning.

Adventure lover and dive shop owner, Jake Sinclair isn’t sure why his quiet, slightly klutzy new neighbor has opened her “Lovely You” women’s boutique next door to his dive shop, it’s a very unlikely combination-just like they are. But, when he catches sight of her bucket list, he’s intrigued and can't help but offer to help her check a few things off…such as “kissing on a moonlight beach.” But when it comes to “falling in love” he might be increasingly drawn to everything about Sammy “So” Lovely however that might be one thing on her list he can’t help her check off.

On the romantic shores of Windswept Bay can Sammy Jo help Jake realize that opening up to love is a risk worth taking?

So sad to see the end of this series - wish there were more siblings!!! Sammy Jo has lead a sheltered life and doesn't have the best view of herself. Jake has avoided commitment and doesn't see himself falling in love. He is her hero more than once and sparks fly. Loved the bucket list and Jake's view of it. Can these two find love where they least expect it?

Finally, we get to read Jake's story. And, it was worth the wait! I truly fell in love with Jake. He's the ultimate book boyfriend. Jake has a history of avoiding commitment. However, his new neighbor is about to challenge him on that. When he spies her bucket list, he's more than ready to help her fulfill each item on the list. Sammy Jo is trying to expand her world and take new adventures. That's why she's moved to Windswept Bay and opened a new store. But, when Jake offers to help her check off her bucket list, it might be more than she can handle. Although there's not that much conflict in the story, it does focus on the central themes of insecurity and self-confidence. Do you necessarily have force yourself to do risky things to believe in yourself? Or do you seek out things you would possibly like to do anyway and focus on them instead? And, just because you don't like to do something doesn't mean that others won't like you because of it. Romance - PG - kissing Language - clean My rating - 5 stars

I have come to love this series, and as each of the Sinclair siblings finds their HEA, a little piece of my heart goes with them. The last of them unattached is ex-Navy SEAL Jake Sinclair, the adventure seeker, and dive shop owner. The one that is never going to get attached. But when the space next to his dive shop is leased by Sammy Jo, he is smitten from the moment he sees her. Sammy Jo on the other hand, has lived a sheltered life and is by no means a risk taker. Shortly before her gram passed away, they both wrote a bucket list for Sammy Jo to accomplish in both their names. Starting by moving and opening a clothing shop in Windswept Bay, the place where her grandparents met and fell in love. Jake takes it upon himself to help Sammy Jo check off the items of the bucket list. But it’s not a smooth ride. Paraphrasing the author, will Sammy Jo be the woman to balance Jake and fill him with the peace and joy he longs for? Or will both be afraid to take that risk? Watching Sammy Jo and Jake get to know each other, and interact, was sweet , at times heartbreaking, but also heartwarming. Revisiting with the rest of the Sinclair siblings was a treat as well. A well written short novel that will touch your hearts. I was gifted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
