"Barbara Freethy is a master storyteller!" Romance Reviews Today Emmalyn McGuire has finally found her rhythm as a kindergarten teacher, but she's still searching for that special someone and the kind of love she has only read about in books. Enter Hunter Kane, a brooding military pilot recovering from a life-altering accident. Struggling with grief and his new reality, Hunter hides away at Ocean Shores, only to have his world upended when his late buddy’s ex leaves her spirited daughter in his care. Overwhelmed and out of his depth, the usually guarded and cynical Hunter turns to the sweet and generous Emmalyn for help. Despite her initial nerves around the sexy, injured pilot, Emmalyn's heart goes out to the little girl who needs them both. As they stumble through the chaos of makeshift parenthood—pancake explosions, petting zoo pandemonium, and hide-and-seek mishaps—their bond deepens. Hunter's darkness is brightened by Emmalyn's happy glow, and she finds a man with whom she can lighten the heavy load of secrets she has carried too long. Amidst laughter and tender moments, they discover that love isn’t just about romance—it’s about finding someone who stands by you through the mess of life.

PRAISE FOR THE OCEAN SHORES SERIES… "Great start to a new series. Ocean Shores is the kind of apartment complex we’d all want to live in, where the neighbors are all friendly and look out for each other. The cautious financial planner and laidback Australian surfer wouldn’t seem to have much in common at first glance, other than physical attraction. But leave it to the talented Barbara Freethy to bring these two together in a way that is believable, entertaining and hopelessly romantic." Mary – Goodreads on Hopelessly Romantic "The story grabbed me immediately and made me fall in love with it. The characters were well-developed and multi-faceted, not only the two main characters but all the minor ones as well. The location is a place I would want to visit, and the Ocean Shores community is where I would like to live. I am excited to read the next one as soon as it’s ready." Bonnie – Goodreads on Hopelessly Romantic "This story was so much fun to read. The characters are quirky yet strong willed. The setting is idyllic. And the plot line was laugh-out-loud fun. I’m looking forward to following along as each tenant gets his/her own happy ending, especially the wounded warrior who’s keeping to himself while he heals." Robin – Goodreads on Hopelessly Romantic
