"After a devastating hurricane on Prince Edward Island, Kelsey Ahern sets out to save her beloved community theater-and her job.

My Thoughts
Any book that is set in Prince Edward Island is a book for me. One of the places I have been to that I absolutely fell in love with.
This is the final book in the Prince Edward Island Shores series and while I have read the first one I haven't read the second one and I did not have any trouble following this one. You do see the other characters from previous books in the story but they aren't the main characters so you will be okay if you pick this one up without reading them in order. This book is all about the last brother Levi and Kelsey.
Levi is a huge introvert who shut down at age 15 due to something dealing with his dad, you will have to find out what caused this while you read it. He is a giver and has a huge heart. He has been in love with Kelsey for a long time so when she needs help due to a hurricane damaging the local theatre Levi is there to pick up the pieces and helps her come up with a plan to restore everything making a huge impact on the whole town.
Overall I enjoyed the story but I felt like it dragged in places. I completely understand the introvert aspect of it because I could relate but it was just a bit much for me during the story. Sometimes it felt like Kelsey was doing all the talking because Levi was too nervous to speak. There was a very light faith thread happening through the story.
If you enjoy contemporary romance then you will enjoy this series and book. A perfect end of summer read!

When Meg Whitaker's father decides to sell the family's lobster-fishing business to her high school nemesis, she sets out to prove she should inherit it instead. Though she's never had any interest in running the small fleet--or even getting on a boat due to her persistent seasickness--she can't stand to see Oliver Ross take over. Not when he ruined her dreams for a science scholarship and an Ivy League education ten years ago.
Oliver isn't proud of what he did back then. Angry and broken by his father walking out on his family, he lashed out at Meg--an innocent bystander. But owning a respected fishing fleet on Prince Edward Island is the opportunity of a lifetime, and he's not about to walk away just because Meg wants him to.
Meg's father has the perfect solution: Oliver and Meg must work the business together, and at the end of the season, he'll decide who gets it. Along the way, they may discover that their stories are more similar than they thought . . . and their dreams aren't what they expected.
Bestselling author Liz Johnson invites you back to Prince Edward Island for a brand-new series about family, forgiveness, and the kind of love that heals all wounds.

My Thoughts
I really enjoyed this book not only because it was set in one of my favorite locations, Prince Edward Island, but the storyline itself was lovely. Liz Johnson really captures the essence of the fishing industry in Prince Edward Island and made you feel like you were part of the community there. The characters were truly believable and relatable. I really enjoyed that the characters were both flawed and were not your typical hero and heroine.
Although this story is a romance, for me it was more about forgiveness, dealing with grief and acceptance. Both Oliver and Meg have hurts from the past that they must come to forgive each other in order to have a future. I definitely had to have my tissues nearby as I got teary a few times while reading.
The author does a great job at weaving a subtle faith element throughout the story. If you enjoy Christian Contemporary Romances this one will not disappoint. I now have to patiently wait for the next in the series and hopefully see a glimpse of these characters once more!
