Can these tow determined people figure out what's important and take a chance on a new beginning?

Ratings and reviews

Nice romance Laura and Matt’s story was sweet. Laura has just moved in to Pilgrim Cove. The description of the place was amazing. The small town and the sights and sounds peculiar therein were described to perfection. Laura is a cancer survivor and she has lost her mother and she moved in to the place just for the quiet there. Matt has two sons and he lost his wife four years back. Laura and Matt already know each other from their teenage days and now see each other after many years. The story goes on from there and is a lovely romance read portraying realistically the aftermath of a cancer survivor and how to cope with the loss of a loved one. Enjoyed it.

This was very cute. I especially loved the town of Pilgrim Cove, loved how the town welcomed Laura and the other new comers. It was interesting how Laura and Matt were dealing with things on the same issue but coming at them for different perspectives. I was glad that they were able to work things out, they made a great couple and a cute family.

Very good telling of a love story entangled with the fear of cancer from before and possibly now. Two hurt boys in the middle only add joy and thought. Enjoy the ride.
