I did the audio book, it was boring to me unfortunately esp since I have read or listened to this storyline / beach/cottage backstory several times before. This one just seemed very bland one sided repeat story.

Wow this story was amazing, i mean the way Susie & Mack were so "not dating" for past three years, their shotgun marriage, painstaking cancer faced by both of them was Wow!! Hats off to sherryl for ending their story this way :) <3
Another sexy sweet & cancer salty romance

This book tugged at my heart strings but, surprisingly, did not make me cry. Another endearing story from Woods, but did not give me the same emotion as Will and Jess' story. I just though that after reading about Mack and Susie for so long that their story would be a bit more.....more. Adding in the siren song of Kristen was nice but she seemed like she was being used as an extra rather than someone who could have really been a serious threat. And Mack being totally clueless about her? Not buying it. I did like the forbidden romance of Laila and Matthew and will enjoy reading about them soon.

7 of the series, halfway through! Didn’t enjoy this one as much (for personal reasons - cancer has affected my family greatly). Ready for the next one as it’s Christmas related!

When will I learn that a box of kleenex must be with you at all times when you read one of Sherryl Woods’ books? So word of warning...have them handy, you’ll need them.
Mac and Susie have been exclusively “non-dating” for years. Both have wanted more out of the relationship, but for the sake of their friendship have never pushed for more.
Just when Mac’s ready to push for more (he’s got his symbol for how ready he is already purchased and waiting for that special moment), he loses his beloved job as a sports columnist at a Baltimore paper. Reeling, Mac takes to hiding the information from everyone. Too humiliated to show his face in town or to even take a call (or thirty) from Susie.
When she does find out, it doesn’t go so well for Mac. But soon, Susie finds out that sometimes when you find out something devastating you can’t share that information, even with the person you love the most, until you’ve processed that information yourself.
Through some very heart wrenching moments, Mac and Susie manage to make the commitment to each other that should have been done a long time ago. They also vow to fight for the future both of them want, along side Susie’s very involved family and their close knit friends.
This was a great read and I think it’s my favorite of the series.

What is it with the people in this town refusing to acknowledge that they love each other??? Every. Single. Couple. It’s beginning to get frustrating.

More like a 2.5 star book. I liked it but there were some aspects that I found annoying.
