NO SUNSHINE WHEN SHE'S GONE is the newest installment in
Kate Angell's fun Barefoot William series. I love
reading
about the beachside town of Barefoot William. No matter the
weather, this series always brings the beach to me -- the
feel of the sun, the smell of the great junk food, and the
overall feeling of relaxation that comes with hanging out
on the beach. Kate Angell does a great job of creating a
sense of place with this series.
I liked the dual romance storylines in NO SUNSHINE WHEN
SHE'S GONE -- the main romance between Jillie Mac and Aidan
Cates, and the secondary romance that develops between
Jill's friend and co-worker Carrie Waters and Aidan's
friend and co-worker Mike Burke. The romances are very
different and go in different directions but are equally as
engaging and don't distract from each other.
I love how, at
the beginning of the book when Aidan is mentally listing
all of the things that bug him about his current female
companion, without knowing it yet, he is describing the
antithesis of the kind of woman he needs and eventually
falls in love with. Their first meeting is unique and
amusing. This is the complete opposite of Carrie and Mike's
first meeting. While it doesn't take long for Jill and
Aidan to get on friendlier terms, Mike acts like a complete
jerk when he first meets Carrie. I was able to appreciate
how Jill's friendship with Carrie parallels Aidan's
friendship with Mike.
The characters in NO SUNSHINE WHEN
SHE'S GONE are three-dimensional and make me care about
them. The romance is at times sweet and other times
extremely hot. I thought it was great that one of the
things that make Aidan fall for Jill is how wonderfully she
takes care of his dog. I also loved how Carrie and Mike
both make each other better people. I enjoyed seeing
recurring characters from previous books.
NO SUNSHINE WHEN SHE'S GONE is another fun, sweet, sexy
romance by Kate Angell and full of great characters. I look
forward to reading more books in this fabulous, beach town
series, and other things by Kate Angell.
Life's a Beach
Though his family owns the charming beachside town of
Barefoot William, Aidan Cates is as down-to-earth as the
locals. He's also practical to a fault and doesn't believe
some psychic on the boardwalk can predict his future.
Jillie Mac is as free as an ocean breeze, so when the hot
stranger and his date mistake her for a fortune teller,
she's ready to have some fun. But one devastating secret
told, one mistaken identity revealed, and numerous long
summer nights later, it's Jillie and Aidan who discover that
sometimes love comes with a simple twist of fate.
