Thoughts:
Rosa Galvez is attracted to Wyatt Townsend, but with him
being a police officer she feels her past will make it hard for things to work
out. However, when Wyatt and his young son need an apartment while their fire
damaged house is being repaired Rosa knows it will be next to impossible for
Wyatt to get a place. Cannon Beach is in the middle of their busy tourist
season, and Rosa feels she obligated to offer up one of the empty apartments
she manages at Brambleberry House.
When Rosa’s past was revealed, I wasn’t sure why she thought
it’d be a problem between her and Wyatt, as her actions were completely
understandable. It wasn’t like she was a lawbreaker or anything either. It
didn’t end up being a huge obstacle in the story. I appreciated the romance was
low angst. Wyatt and Rosa were around each other a lot because of the forced
proximity and ended up spending more time together making it hard to ignore the
attraction they felt from the start. I enjoyed Rosa’s relationship with Logan,
Wyatt’s cute seven-year-old son, as well.
Cannon Beach is one of my favorite places to visit in
Oregon, with its gorgeous Pacific Coast beaches and forests that spill out onto
the sand. The small town is cute with picturesque shops and restaurants,
surrounded by greenery and planter boxes filled with flowers, and the author
described it beautifully making it feel like another visit!
A Brambleberry Summer was a feel-good, easy going romance with
a beautiful setting brought to life so vividly I could almost feel the ocean
breeze!

The covers of these books always make me want to step inside them. And low angst in a romance is good thing! :)
ReplyDeleteTerrific review Rachel. I've also read this book and found it a nice heartwarming book.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a good romance.
ReplyDeleteNeat that you've visited the location before. A low angst feel good romance sounds good for these sweltering hot days people are having. :)
ReplyDeleteI just love when a setting is done so well that you can practically see it and smell it. :) I've read a handful by Thayne and they've been perfect for when I wanted something easy and low-drama. She seems very dependable.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a book I would love. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat's good Rosa's past wasn't made into a big deal in terms of the relationship since it wasn't anything crazy or lawbreaking. Sometimes drama just seems to be added without a big reason, so I'm glad that wasn't the case here!

Awww feel good is never bad
ReplyDeleteHmm, an anti-climatic secret. Still sounds pretty good to me. I seems to have a soft spot for single dads too
