So, she seizes on a project—helping returning showrunner Ryan Saylor jump into the dating pool after his divorce. She doesn't count on wanting to be first in line to date the brilliant writer, but can Ryan see her as a woman first, actress second.

Ryan doesn’t feel like part of the Sawyer’s Cove family anymore, but he’s still going to finish the show on a high note now that he’s back in charge. That means keeping a lid on all distractions, especially those provided by his charming star, Ariel, who is determined to find someone to date a one-armed divorced television writer. He's willing to put himself out there, but he can’t stop thinking about the brainy redhead, even though she's off limits in more ways than one.

When he finds out Ariel has feelings for him, all his carefully constructed walls start crumbling. But guys like him only get the dream girl on TV—not in real life. Right? As the run of the show comes to an end, their future is the only thing left to write.

Revisit all your favorite Sawyer’s Cove couples in this final installment in the Sawyer’s Cove: The Reboot series, perfect for fans of Dawson's Creek and Gilmore Girls, where Hollywood meets small-town Misty Harbor, Connecticut.

Ratings and reviews

"She'd had men confuse her for her character before. It wasn't a nice feeling." This steamy/sweet story is a great addition to a wonderful series. It's not complicated, action-packed or filled with angst and drama. It's a love story between two interesting and likeable characters who haven't had the easiest in life. I can't help but think everything that happened to both Ryan and Ariel in their pasts led them to each other and their chance at a true hea. Extra props to them that they found something "real" in their celebrity world. This is just a beautiful story from beginning to end.

I enjoyed this read and loved Ariel and Ryan. These two start as friends and their connection grew stronger as the story progressed. I enjoyed their back and forth, the strength of that connection, and how they handle the obstacles that they face. The story flows well with a group of lovable characters.

This is a good addition to the series. Ariel and Jay have a good connection that needs to get around his rule to not date actresses.
