Book Description:

Lucy Marinn is a glass artist living in mystical, beautiful Friday Harbor Washington, with a boyfriend, Kevin, who she believes is her soul mate. She has always had a magical side-a gift that finds its way into the breathtaking glasswork she creates-and she struggles to keep it contained. But when Lucy is blindsided by the most bitter kind of betrayal, she questions many of her choices. Her boyfriend leaves her and his new lover is none other than Lucys own sister. Lucys bitterness over this devastation is multiplied by the fact that she has constantly made the wrong choices in her romantic life.

Meanwhile, facing the sever disapproval of Lucys family, Kevin asks his friend Sam Nolan, a local vineyard owner on San Juan Island, to "romance" Lucky so that she can more easily move on. But when Sam and Lucy begin to feel real sparks between them, Lucy must ask her self if she can easily risk her heart again.

As Lucy questions her beliefs about love, loyalty, old patterns, mistakes, and new beginnings, she explores the possibility that some things in life-even after being broken-can be re-made into something beautiful. And that it is only by discovering who you really are that you can find the one who truly deserves you.

My review:

So, I started reading this book while in the middle of reading another book ( The Madea Complex), for no other reason then because I wanted to read in the bath and I don't dare take my kindle in the bath with me. :) To tell you the difference, I finished this book in less than a day, compared with the other one. I really enjoyed learning a little bit about glasswork and also vineyarding. I liked the story and the characters, they added a little bit of magic into the story which I liked, as they did it in a way that wasn't too unbelievable. Her sister and ex-boyfriend made me dang mad. I don't know if I could get over something like that. I love a good love story, it doesn't take much to suck me in and keep me entertained. A word of caution, this is an adult book, with a few "F" words and a few sex scenes. But other than that it was a entertaining, easy read and I really enjoyed it.

My rating:

4 out of 5
