MY KIND OF YOU opens with Emily, a woman who loves to buy
and flip homes. Along with her partner, Jewel, Emily has
successfully made a living doing, but all good things must
come to an end. Emily and Jewel invest in the wrong home,
and after paying more than it was worth in fixes, the pair
are out all their savings and out of business. Emily works
out a deal with her grandmother, Gigi, who offers to pay her
debts if she moves back home. Although moving home was never
in Emily's plans, she knows you cannot bite the hand that
feeds you.
Eventually she meets Ryan, a man who has also come to
Wenniway Island on his own mission -- to find out about his
dad's retirement plans and meet his new, young girlfriend.
Lily, Ryan's potential new stepmom, also happens to be
Emily's sister. Ryan and Emily met each other
while they were both waiting for a plane to fly them to
the small home town. Little do they know that they
have that their paths are going to continue to cross as Tag,
Ryan's dad, and Lily continue to tangle with each other.
But, time eventually reveals other motives behind Ryan's
visit to Wenniway Island. His company wants to buy up land
blocking Gigi's house. Emily has to put her feelings for
Ryan aside as she tries to keep her family together and her
grandmother's home from being forgotten.
Tracy Brogan, I loved this book. You show how everyone's
business is everyone's business in a small town. Secrets
that you thought would stay secret, of course don't. I also
liked the way that you show how two people can put their
heads together and try and come up with a solution to a
problem. I have always wanted to live in a small town.
While people know your business, they also care.
Tracy, you have done this with MY KIND OF YOU. My niece just
went though this, younger woman dating an older man.
Sometimes it just doesn't work out. I loved that you made
me care for these characters, so much in fact that I already
want to know how everyone ends up with another book. I was
so invested and enchanted by these magical people.
Wall Street Journal bestselling author Tracy Brogan
is back with a sweet, hilarious series about family,
forgiveness, and what it means to go back home.
Emily Callaghan never expected to spend another summer on
Wenniway Island. Yet here she is, back in her quaint
northern Michigan hometown of Trillium Bay, divorced, flat
broke, and dragging along her precocious twelve-year-old.
It’s a simple arrangement: Emily, a house flipper, will
renovate one of her grandmother’s rental properties in
exchange for a much-needed loan. Once a wild child, the
reformed Emily also hopes to remodel her reputation and show
her family she’s all grown up.
But coming home is never simple. Emily’s dad is more distant
than ever. Her younger sister is dating a much older man,
and Emily’s worried it’s a mistake. The cottage remodel
grows increasingly daunting. And then there’s handsome
out-of-towner Ryan Taggert…
Ryan has his own family drama. A smart, ambitious land
developer, he’s come to Wenniway to rescue his father from
the grips of a new girlfriend and protect their family
business. But he’s quickly distracted by gorgeous, witty
Emily Callaghan.
There’s no denying the attraction between Emily and Ryan.
But will their conflicting interests destroy any chance at
love? Or will Emily finally get the chance to rebuild her
life—and repair her heart?
