About this ebook

Tandy Blakemore spends her days running her New England ice cream parlor, single-parenting her teenage son, and trying to keep her head above financial water. No easy feat when the shop's machinery is aging and her son is thinking about college. Tandy hasn't had a day off in a decade and wonders if she'll ever be able to live a worry-free life. Engineer Deacon Withers is on an enforced vacation in the tiny seaside town of Beacher's Cove. Overworked, stressed, and lonely, he walks into Tandy's shop for a midday ice cream cone and gets embroiled in helping her fix a broken piece of equipment. Can the budding friendship that follows lead to something everlasting?

Ratings and reviews

Peggy Jaeger's books never let me down. I knew I was in for another flavorful read, between Tandy's spunky personality (I loved all her expressions) and Deacon's warm soul. How could you not fall in love with both characters? As a New Englander myself, I could see, feel, smell, and taste all the nuances of a small touristy seaside town (yum, I am hungry now for some fresh ice cream or garlic knots). Tandy is a hardworking entrepreneur and single mom with trust issues, and along comes handsome and says-all-the-right-things successful engineer Deacon trying to find that missing piece of his life (hint: it's a love partner!). I have a soft spot for a man who likes to tinker with machines and such and for a woman that needs to protect her own wounded heart. Jaeger writes with a deep voice/point of view that embeds you into the characters shoes and heart. This one will not disappoint. It's a sweet (and tasty!) beach read for sure. Highly recommend.
