DRIFTING DAWN

After eighteen years, I’ve come home to the Scottish island
of my childhood. It’s the place I vowed I wouldn’t return to so I never again
had to see the man who broke my heart into a million pieces.
Yet family has inevitably brought me back, and avoiding my
ex, Quinn McQuarrie, is proving impossible when he insists on digging up the
past every time we meet.
Quinn is now a single dad, the local contractor, and the
person the entire town is rooting for to get his happily ever after. The
problem is, he wants me to be his HEA, and I just want to move on. When Quinn
sees my plans to save the town’s volunteer lifeboat service as an opportunity
to work together, I’m stuck with him. And, unfortunately, I soon realize
there’s no denying that the chemistry we share has only grown more intense with
the passing of time.
I know Quinn wants more than just a physical relationship,
but it’s all I can promise with so much hurt and distrust between us.
However, when strange disturbances escalate to harassment,
our lives are turned upside down, and Quinn proves he will do anything in his
power to protect me. Even if it means losing each other before we ever get our
second chance…
We already met them both in the first book.
Quinn is a divorced dad of two. And Taran came back to the island after 18 years to take over her late mum's bookstore/café.
They used to be each other's everything until Taran left for university and they broke up a bit later. And then Quinn did a stupid drunk thing and felt he had to marry the mom of his soon-to-be-born daughter.
And now Taran is finally back on the island and Quinn wants her back.
That was so sweet and heartbreaking and frustrating. I loved it!I did a quick re-read of the first book - because #Bookalzheimers! Quinn and Taran are in book #1 a lot.
And now, in book #2, we really need to get that happy end for them. After almost 20 years. Ugh. Those poor darlings.
Next to Quinn doing everything to win Taran back, we also have some Island life and family problems and some threatening things and dangerous things.
Lots of stuff happening.
I loved reading this!
I loved Quinn's kids and the friendships between all our island darlings!
Like I already said about the first book:
Amazing location.
Perfect Cast!
Can't wait for the next books in this series!
London and Cammie with Murray and Forde!
DRIFTING DAWN was the perfect second book in this amazing new series!
