About this ebook

She already left one fiancé. She didn’t need another.

When Bree Garrett’s former college roommate invites Bree to move to Starlight Ridge, a small tourist town on the Californian coast, she is all too happy to leave the deserts of New Mexico and the memories of her former life. She only has three conditions:

One- No one can find out about her fear of water—totally embarrassing when you live next to the ocean.

Two- No seafood. She can't stomach it. Yeah, she sees the irony of points number one and two.

Three- No blind dates. The last thing she needs is a relationship. Her ex-fiancé would agree.

Easier said than done when the only job available is at a surf shop and the owner, Caleb, is under the impression that Bree has applied to be a scuba instructor, and not a cashier, as she had intended. Bree tries to clear up the misunderstanding, but it’s hard when she seems to lose her voice—and her breath—every time Caleb is near. How could she not when he happens to be attractive, single and, as it turns out, also doesn't like seafood?

Bree and Caleb struggle against the pull of the tide that seems determined to bring them together. But, despite their differences, maybe this is one battle that is okay to lose.

Diving into Love is the first book in the Starlight Ridge romance series. If you can’t get enough of witty banter, moonlit strolls on the beach, and swoon-worthy kisses, you’ll love this sweet romance.

Ratings and reviews

This audiobook is the first story in the author’s series titled Starlight RIdge as well as the first book I read/listen to by this author. So I honestly, did not know what to expect. It’s a sweet, clean romance about engineer Bree Garrett and scuba dive shop owner Caleb both in their twenties and still unsure of their futures and their lives. When life throws Bree a few lemons, loss of a job, break up with her fiancee etc, she decides it’s time for a change of venue and travels from New Mexico to a small coastal California town to visit her college roommate. Never realizing that she would not only face her fears but that a young man would capture her heart. The author’s description of the small town and it’s inhabitants reminded me of Key West, a place I have enjoyed visiting multiple times. The story wasn’t without conflicts and complications and as you read it , you hope that not only Bree and Caleb find their HEA, but also that you’ll get a chance to revisit Starlight Ridge. Lastly, the narration by Claire Duncan brought the story to life.

The book is a good sweet small town romance read. The story has a good story line. The characters are good, and they have good chemistry. The story is an enjoyable inspirational romance read that is good for a day at the beach. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Was a nice book... felt a bit slow in the beginning, but the characters was likeable and even though it took me time to get hooked.. it still kept me interested enough to finish.

About the author

Kat Bellemore is the author of the Borrowing Amor sweet romance series. Deciding to have New Mexico as the setting for the series was an easy choice, considering its amazing sunsets, blue skies and tasty green chile. That, and she currently lives there with her husband and two cute kids. They hope to one day add a dog to the family, but for now, the native animals of the desert will have to do. Though, Kat wouldn't mind ridding the world of scorpions and centipedes. They're just mean.
