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.
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?
