Receiving news of her beloved grandmother 's death, Kimberly (Kay) Turner returns to the beach home on the Jersey shore where she was raised by her grandmother for the funeral and to settle her inheritance of the home. Returning home from a photo shoot in Greece after receiving the devastating news, she also finds her live-in boyfriend with another woman. Trust of a man is no longer an option for Kay.

Kay encounters the dreams of her teen years when she runs into town to grab some dinner at the fish market. James Magolis is just as virile and heart arrestingly handsome as she remembers. As a mere girl her visions of James were completely unrealistic and secret. Rekindling a friendship through their joint efforts using her grandmother's recipes, they soon become more to each other followed by mind boggling sex. Kay is faced with a once in a lifetime job offer which will take her away from home for long periods of time. Unable to believe that James can actually put her first and be true to her when she is gone, unlike her ex, she makes a choice to end the relationship with James. Being a man completely devoted to giving her what will make her happy, James does not try to change her mind. Both of them are totally sick at heart without the other, Kay realizes that losing it all might have been the answer to giving her what she really needs.

Once scorned, this lonely woman cannot believe she is capable of finding that devoted lasting love. I loved the characters in this story. James is a man made of every woman's dreams and Kay is the lonely but successful woman unable to believe she is capable of finding that forever love. The story line flows well and is amusing as well as heart wrenching. This tale will be remembered with nostalgia and a warm and fuzzy feeling. Definitely a must read written by a very talented author!
