Young widow Bella Sunshine-Caldwell is focused only on
raising her daughter and running the family business, Sunshine Bridal. There’s
no time for romance—especially with her fellow wedding planner,
Gabe, whom she’s growing increasingly attracted to. He’s too enterprising to stay in Cape May for long, anyway. And
too tall, dark, and handsome to be anything but a heartbreaker.
Every woman in town has her sights on Gabe Garcia. The only
woman he has eyes for doesn’t seem interested. All he wants is to fall in love,
be a father, and settle down. As he and Bella work together on a magical winter
wedding, the distance between them closes, the nights grow warmer, and Bella
might be seeing Gabe for who he really is: a man worth the effort.
We're back in Cape May on the Jersey Coast with the three Sunshine sisters who run their own wedding planner business.
Bella is the 2nd sister to tell us her story.
And it started as a dream story ... Bella married her childhood sweetheart, they had a daughter ... and three months later some drunk driver killed her husband.
Now, five years later, she's a busy single mom working for the family wedding planner business. And she loves it.
Then there's Gabe. He's been working with the sisters for three years now.
And since day one he's been in love with Bella. But she just doesn't see him that way. She thinks he's a ladies man - on a date every other night - soon to leave town for bigger and better things.
But that's so not Gabe. He wants Bella. He wants to be little Zoe's daddy. He wants it all.
He just has to convince Bella that he's worth it.
Let the fun times begin ...
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH BELLA & GABE?
WILL THERE BE A HEA??
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT ☺
___________________________
I loved the first book in this series ... so much!
And this second book is just as adorable.
Also kinda sad though. First of all because Bella is a widow. But even more because we feel so bad for poor Gabe! He's so in love with Bella and she doesn't get it! Ugh. I wanted to hit her over the head with my kindle! LOL!
But I just loved reading this.
We're rooting for those two to finally figure things out!
It might take a little while though. ☺
This was a great love story.
It's an amazing series. Perfect location! Great cast!
I can't wait to read Taylor's story!
Also - I want to move to Cape May asap!
And I so want to see this whole thing on Netflix!!!

TEMPTATION ON OCEAN DRIVE was an adorable & sad & sparky & emotional & wedding-y New Jersey Beach Town love story! I loved it!
Run to your nearest amazon for your own Gabe - this one is mine!

You know when you pick up a JP book you are going to get a heartfelt, wonderful story that you are going to fall in love with.
However, I have renamed this story "Frustration on Ocean Drive". Because oh my lord, did our leading lady Bella frustrate the heck out of me - and our gorgeous leading man, Gabe.
We have met them both already - Bella is one of the Sunshine sisters, and Gabe is Avery's assistant - and in my opinion, way to good for Bella.
Yes, I understand Bella has her reasons, but FFS woman, he is laying his heart at your feet and you keep trampling on it. I want to hit you over the head with my Kinde... and then come and steal Gabe from you all for myself.
I love the interactions and banter between the Sunshine girls. I adore getting more of Carter and Lucy, and man, my heart also belongs to a little girl called Zoe.
It was a journey, but man it was good for our lovelies to finally get to their HEA.
I am looking forward to Taylor's story in the future.
