Who May Not Like This Book:
If you're after a steamy, action-packed thriller or can't suspend disbelief for a romance between a pregnant mom of four and a dreamy Navy SEAL, this might not be your cup of tea. Some readers found the plot and the nearly perfect, always angelic kids a tad unrealistic, and the heavy focus on family and healing over drama or suspense may not be to everyone's taste. Also, if you prefer slow-burn romances, the instant connection between the leads could feel a bit rushed.

From The Publisher:
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Prepare to be swept away by a talented debut author with a passionate, powerful story to tell.
They meet on a beach. . . . Abby Davis isn't wearing a skimpy bikini or sipping umbrella drinks, not when she's busy chasing around four little ones. And Matt McKinney isn't looking for fun-he's a Navy SEAL, a grown man with a long list of missions . . . and fallen brothers.
They only have a week. . . . Abby has brought her children to this beach to start over, to give them the enjoyable memories they deserve. Matt's been sidelined by a combat injury, and haunted by the best friend he lost and the promise he made: to remain a SEAL-focused and dedicated. This leaves no time for what he's always wanted: a family.
But a week is all it takes. . . . Matt opens her heart while Abby soothes his soul. And though they plan to say good-bye when the week is over, something magical happens on that beach, something neither can forget. Something utterly, completely worth falling for.
