Story
Devon Douglas can’t believe it when she comes face-to-face with Sadie again. They were inseparable in high school until Devon did something she ruined their friendship on a lovestruck whim. Sadie is as dazzling as Devon remembers—and she can still hold her own surfing the wild waves of Clearwater Bay. Devon’s first priority is her five-year-old son, but getting to know Sadie all over again is taking up more and more of her headspace. Sadie is inexplicably drawn to Devon. It could be nostalgia. Or remnants of their old friendship flaring. But what if it’s more than that?

Story
Public Relations expert Emery Bates has exactly one problem she's willing to admit, and it's that she doesn't have a girlfriend to take as her date to a wedding. Not because she needs a girlfriend, but because she needs an easier way to come out to college friends she hasn't seen in five years. Her job is about controlling the narrative, and as she sees it, there's no reason why that can't extend to her personal life. When her ends up single a few weeks before the wedding, Emery realizes inviting Jordan along and faking romance for a week in Hawaii could be perfect for both of them.

Kennedy Ryan and Brooke Nicholas have circled around one another for years without getting to know one another, but getting stuck together during a post-college trip is going to change that. A growing friendship, an abandoned puppy, and no one to act as a buffer between them will upend a lot of ideas they had about one another. Kennedy finally realizes she may have only scratched the surface where Brooke is concerned, and Brooke is terrified that she's falling in love with her best friend.

Story
Her new job as an on-air reporter in sunny San Diego is a big break for Skyler Ruiz. No more covering small-town softball games or vegetable growing competitions. She’ll be working at the same station as her TV mega-crush and longtime idol, anchorwoman Carolyn McNamara, and that doesn’t hurt either. Unfortunately, people don’t always live up to expectations. Skyler’s hopes of impressing Carolyn are dashed when she discovers Carolyn has little time for newbie reporters and is downright unwelcoming.

Falling stars are supposed to be a lucky sign, but not for Austen. Her new job as a secretary in an international games company isn't off to a good start. Her first assignment - decorating the Christmas tree in the lobby - results in a trip to the ER after Dee, the company's second-in-command, gets hit by the star-shaped tree topper. Dee blames her instant attraction to Austen on her head wound, not the magic of the falling star. She's determined not to act on it, especially since Austen has no idea that Dee is practically her boss.

Above all, she has an unquenchable survival instinct. Surely a fleeting entanglement with one Audrey Avens, a bright, young, rising star in her company, won't bring down the Wicked Queen of Tinseltown. Or will it? Neve's public persona has no chink in the untouchable armor, but when the lights go out and the cameras stop rolling, what becomes of an Ice Queen whose heart is ruled by love and fear?

Publisher's Summary
When your parents name you and your three siblings after flowers, the world is stacked against you. At least, that’s how Aster Lavender feels.
The youngest daughter, Aster always keeps her head down and lets her siblings stand in the spotlight. She sells her gourmet doughnuts from Hole in One, the small drive-through stand in sleepy Homer’s Bluff, Kansas, and daydreams about seeing the big beautiful world. Love is never going to happen, especially when the only other lesbians in town are already married to each other.
Beautiful Brynn Garrett arrives to fill in for Homer Bluff’s only veterinarian, and suddenly every pet in town is sick. Brynn’s older, smarter, and way out of Aster’s league. Plus, she’s only in town temporarily and definitely running from something. Aster didn’t plan for a connection so strong it knocks the wind right out of her, but Brynn makes her feel like anything but a wallflower.

SO SO GOOD
Melissa never disappoints and this story is one of her best 👌 👍 😍 in my humble opinion, I just really loved it. I have listened to so many books but only one other has brought a lump to my throat and tears 😢 so so great, I can't say enough about it and the narrator Lula Larkin brought it to life so much, she did an excellent job.

The is the second Melissa Brayden book in a row that I have stopped listening to before the end. I have had a hard life with lots of trauma and I can’t root for weak immature people.

Couldn't understand Brinn
The story moved well until Boston, then it made no sense to me. It was like fighting quicksand for 5 years then suddenly being teleported to Shangra La.
Lula Larkin was awesome as always.

This was a beautifully written book as well as beautifully narrated.
I was totally engaged in the story and the angst between Aster and Brin’s insecurities and love for Aster.

Melissa Brayden is back to original stories. The best book since the Savvy series in my opinion and Lula Larkin is a delicious discovery, love her voice and narration. She makes a huge difference in this story. Can't wait for what this due will come up with next.

The book was overall ok, but I almost couldn’t finish it. It took too long and the rollercoaster of emotions was hard to witness. I never thought those two would get together. Stressful.

Eh, good enough but....
I did like this book, but lately it seems all her books are so similar, none really stand out on their own. I recently read "How Sweet It Is" & "Strawberry Summer" & this one was right along the same lines. Very predictable.

A wild romance ride
One I didn’t always enjoy. Of course it got there in the end which made the twists and turns seem a little less bumpy in retrospect. The author takes us on a wild ride full of disappointment, despair and eventually happiness. A good book if you’re prepared for a roller coaster romance.
