Review

To say I adored the boys of Shore Thing is an understatement. I loved each individual story, but even more, I loved them as friends! And I legit felt bereft when the series ended. So, to discover that I get more of them…well, I was stoked. And this new book/series did not disappoint!

Enzo is Burke’s cousin, he lost his father and has been left with a crappy, homophobic mom. She exists in stark contrast to his aunt who has adopted all of them as her own and loves them no matter what. This is how he finds himself in Coral Pointe surrounded by the most amazing group of people ever. But still, it’s not until he meets Evian, a friend just his own, that he feels more settled and starts to believe in living his life for himself. The two of them develop a sweet friendship that brightens Enzo’s days.

Evian is pretty special, but as bright and amazing as he his, he’s also in need of something special after experiencing some nasty blows in his life.

It’s a wonderful journey, and ultimately they find a really beautiful life and love together.

Synopsis

Enzo Russo

I never thought after spending a week in Coral Pointe with my cousin, helping at his friends’ wedding, that I’d be back in this small town. Life in Sacramento is already lonely, but when my mom finds out my secret and uses it to hurt me in the worst way, all I want is to be where acceptance and love are as vast and dependable as the horizon. The place where the most beautiful hazel eyes I’ve ever seen are only a town away. Evian, the gorgeous, funny, suit designer from Barrett’s Port, has unexpectedly weaved his way into my life. The question is, can he mend this gaping wound in my heart, or will one pull on the wrong thread unravel my life completely?

Evian Skye

Young and gullible. That’s what I’d convinced myself I was after finding out what my much older ex-boyfriend was really doing behind my back. It took years for me to stop blaming the hearts in my eyes for obstructing my ability to see the snake he really is. Only a cold-hearted person would do that to me, knowing the heartbreak I was already facing. So when Enzo, a gorgeous out-of-towner, stops in my shop for a suit, I push aside any attraction for him, as I’d done with every man over the last few years. There’s no harm in being his friend, though, right? The problem is, there’s a sadness in his brown eyes I just can’t seem to forget. I’m not ready to level up our friendship to something as dangerous as love. So why can’t I stop dreaming about Enzo’s embrace?

About Jaclyn Quinn

I have been an artist from a very young age. From drawing cartoon characters and evolving into portraits, making jewelry, photography, and now writing. I have an amazing support system in my family and friends and couldn’t be more grateful.

I live in central New Jersey, love summers at the Jersey Shore, rock music, wine, sexy men, and laughing a lot with my amazing friends and family. Sunday dinners at my parents’ house are crazy, hysterical and you can count on a movie quote…or ten…being thrown out. Insults between siblings is how we show our love for each other!

When I’m not creating, you can find me reading books from my favorite authors. I’m a hopeless romantic, starving for passionate characters and always craving that happy ending, whether in reading or in writing my own books.
