Emily Donovan hates the sea but Puffin Island offers her a
place to hide while she sorts out the huge changes in her
life. A recent job loss along with the sudden guardianship
of a six year old niece she'd never met before would be
difficult enough to handle, but now sexy yacht club owner,
Ryan Cooper, is showing an interest in Emily. Will the
peace
and camaraderie of Puffin Island help Emily learn to love
again?
FIRST TIME IN FOREVER is the first book in Sarah Morgan's
Puffin Island trilogy, featuring three best
friends.
I absolutely love the ambience of Puffin Island, from the
warm and welcoming residents to the cute little shops like
the Summer Scoop. Sarah Morgan does a marvelous job at
creating the perfect place for Emily to heal, as the
concept
of the puffins fits perfectly as a central theme.
Emily is a wounded woman, still hurting from a childhood
lacking in love. Puffin Island allows her to blossom, as
she
is treasured and nurtured. I love her spunk which shows
through as she faces her gut-wrenching fear of the ocean
head on rather than continuing to quiver in fear. What a
great heroine, as Sarah Morgan shows us a woman surviving
a
horrible tragedy and learning not only to survive but to
thrive on Puffin Island.
Sarah Morgan has a gift for crafting magical places for
her
deeply emotional romances. FIRST TIME IN FOREVER is a
beautiful tale of finding hope, love, and family after
some
of the deepest wounds. I laughed, I cried, and yes, I even
fell in love just a bit with FIRST TIME IN FOREVER. If you
love romances, then you must read Sarah Morgan and FIRST
TIME IN FOREVER!
Windswept, isolated and ruggedly beautiful, Puffin Island
is
a haven for day-trippers and daydreamers alike. But this
charming community has a way of bringing people together
in
the most unexpected ways.
It's been a summer of firsts for Emily Donovan. From
becoming a stand-in mom to her niece Lizzy to arriving on
Puffin Island, her life has become virtually
unrecognizable.
Between desperately safeguarding Lizzy and her
overwhelming
fear of the ocean—which surrounds her everywhere she
goes!—Emily has lost count of the number of "just breathe"
pep talks she's given herself. And that's before
charismatic
local yacht club owner Ryan Cooper kisses her.
Ryan knows all about secrets. And it's clear that newcomer
Emily—with her haunted eyes and the little girl she won't
let out of her sight—is hiding from something besides the
crazy chemistry between them. So Ryan decides he's going
to
make it his personal mission to help her unwind and enjoy
the sparks! But can Puffin Island work its magic on Emily
and get her to take the biggest leap of trust of all—
putting
her heart in someone else's hands?
