"Delightful Tale of Unrequited Love"

Fresh Fiction Review

Sunset in Central Park
Sarah Morgan

Reviewed by Kristen Donnelly
Posted September 26, 2016

Romance Contemporary

For American audiences, Sarah Morgan may be an unfamiliar name. Prolific in the UK, I discovered her work in a Belfast charity shop, attracted to the colorful cover and the need to distract myself from my onerous PhD work. I inhaled the book quickly, and discovered an author I would follow from that point forward. Upon my return to the U.S., I was frustrated to discover the lag time between releases of Morgan's in the U.K. and their subsequent release in the U.S.; meaning I've been waiting for SUNSET IN CENTRAL PARK for a while now!

But, petals, it was worth the wait. A delightful tale of a man who has loved a woman forever, and a woman who wakes up to that love and lets it change her. Frankie is a garden architect, someone who has always been more at home with plants than people. Matt is the aforementioned fella who loves her. When a job project he's on allows him to hire Frankie, he thinks this may be the 'in' he needs.

What unfolds after that is a tale of two people who learn that knowing yourself, and freeing yourself of your past demons, is key before finding that happily ever after. Full of fun side characters and a literary version of New York that will have you booking a ticket first and asking questions later, SUNSET IN CENTRAL PARK is a must for any contemporary romance fan looking for a gentle read in these dog days of summer.

SUMMARY

In the chaos of New York, true love can be hard to find, even when it's been right under your nose all along… 

Love has never been a priority for garden designer Frankie Cole. After witnessing the fallout of her parents' divorce, she's seen the devastation an overload of emotion can cause. The only man she feels comfortable with is her friend Matt—but that's strictly platonic. If only she found it easier to ignore the way he makes her heart race… 

Matt Walker has loved Frankie for years but, sensing how fragile she is beneath her feisty exterior, has always played it cool. But then he uncovers new depths to the girl he's known forever and doesn't want to wait a moment longer. He knows Frankie has secrets and has buried them deep, but can Matt persuade her to trust him with her heart and kiss him under the Manhattan sunset?
