In Manningsport, New York, Blue Heron head winemaker Jack Holland rescues
four teenagers from drowning after they wrecked their car. The townsfolk rightfully consider the
kindhearted Jack the hero of the Midwinter Miracle; but he remains traumatized
over the boy in that accident still in a coma.
Police Officer Emmaline Neal needs a date for her former fiancé
Kevin Bates’s wedding in Malibu. Friends
suggest she ask Jack to be her guest, which he agrees. In California, Emma feels overwhelmed and not
just because she is the groom’s ex; as her family resides nearby and she
believes she is the lone failure of Dr. and Dr. Neal. When she and Jack share a wonderful evening
of love, Emma doubts it is more than just a one-night tryst; as a cop can’t
compare to his former wife Hadley who demands a second chance with him. However she doesn’t know Jack; as well as she
thought as he wants much more than a SOCAL fling.
The fourth Blue Heron romance (see Waiting On You, The Perfect
Match and The Best Man) is a charming contemporary starring two amiable
protagonists and ably supported by their families and other bicoastal locals. Kristan Higgins authors a warm droll drama as the self-doubter buries
her trepidations in Skittles and chocolate cake, and the PTSD sufferer struggles
with the accolades from his heroic act; neither know how to deal with falling
in love.
