This is Sherryl Woods welcoming us back to Sand Castle Bay and continue the saga of the Castle sisters and their wonderful matchmaking grandmother. I know that this is the story of Gabi Castle and Wade Johnson. But believe me; be prepared to be swept away with the love story of Cora Jane and Jerry. Cora Jane is the three sisters' grandmother who has been a widow for some time now. Jerry has been her husband's best friend and obviously had hidden albeit not all that well deep feelings for Cora Jane for many years. Now it seems they have found that they really complete each other and after all don't they say love is lovelier the second time around.

Okay now back to this lovely story of Gabi and Wade, in some ways it too is a second chance at love for both of them. This is the genius of Sherryl Woods. The central theme comes through as gently as a sigh and you are hooked.

Gabi is returning home single and pregnant. Really single as in there is no hope with the worthless slug who impregnated her and practically ran away. We aren't sure Gabi had much of her heart invested in that relationship anyway. But now back with her grandmother at Castle she is taking her time reevaluating her choices. Doors have closed behind her rather abruptly leaving her undecided which is totally foreign to this woman with a highly structured career path. Many questions are left unresolved for Gabi including whether or not keeping the baby is the right choice for herself and the baby.

Wade should proceed more cautiously then he does in his pursuit of Gabi. His past has definitely left him vulnerable and yet there isn't anyone in town that doesn't recognize how deep his feelings are for this woman he hardly knows. And let's not forget Gabi is a package deal complete with some other man's unborn child. But again that's not how Wade sees it at all. His challenge is for Gabi to see that his feelings are true and include her entire family - which of course includes any children she would have. You could use the argument of is there a difference courting a woman who already has a child versus one whose child is yet to be born.

Wade has some hurdles to conquer. An important one is for Gabi to facedown her insecurities about keeping this baby and her future career path. And of course whether there is a place for Wade in her future plans.

Gabi and Wade are an amazing couple who instantly grab your heart but there's no denying the challenges they will face. But isn't life easier or better when you have someone by your side for support and unconditional love. Maybe Gabi should take a really close look at her grandmother. You don't have to make life more complicated than it normally is. Sometimes you do have to take a leap of faith or heart and accept changes as a natural course of events in life. And embrace them.

If you haven't had the chance to read SAND CASTLE BAY, the first in this lovely series, that's okay. Woods does a great job of reintroducing the stars of that book. But why miss out on a beautiful story that easily segues into WIND CHIME POINT. Beautifully written with wonderfully witty and warm repartee between siblings pretty much the trademark of a Woods story.
