Hearts At Seaside (Seaside Summers #3) by Addison Cole - Starting September 10th, 2020

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

Jenna Ward is vivacious, spontaneous, and confident—except when she’s around the man who stole her heart years earlier, strikingly handsome, quiet, and reliable Pete Lacroux. After years of trying to get his attention and overwhelmed from dealing with her mother’s new cougar lifestyle, Jenna’s giving up on Peter—and is ready to explore other men.

As the eldest of five siblings, with an alcoholic father to care for, boat craftsman Pete Lacroux always does the right thing and has no time for a real relationship. He’s looking forward to seeing his friend Jenna, a welcome distraction who’s so sexy and painfully shy that she equally entertains and confuses him.

When Jenna picks up a hard-bodied construction worker, jealousy ignites Pete’s true feelings, and he’s unable to ignore the desires for Jenna he never realized he had. But Pete’s not the quiet guy he appears to be, and his life is anything but conducive to a relationship. Can Jenna handle the real Pete Lacroux—the most alpha male she’s ever seen—or will she crack under pressure? And can Pete reclaim the life he once had without tearing apart his family?

(view spoiler)[Jenna has liked Pete for a long time. Now that she is trying to move on he is interested in her. So of course things are complicated. (hide spoiler)]

I'm hoping in the end that the dad will finally get help.

Things will work out, but I don't know how much drama there will be.

Chapters 14-18:
(view spoiler)[He told his dad things need to change, but he's running over to help, which won't help him in the long run. They're talking about living together here.

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

I'm up to Chapter 18.


(view spoiler)[Jenna's mother is finally moving on. Things are good between them for now. I just keep waiting for Skye to find out the truth about her dad. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[His dad went to rehab. Pete finished his boat. They are engaged. I don't like his sister. I hope that's the last time she's around. Her mom is back to who she was before. (hide spoiler)]

[☆☆Hannah☆☆]

I'm finished.


(view spoiler)[I'm glad that the dad went to rehab. It was nice that the sister stayed and helped. Most importantly I'm glad that Jenna and Pete are engaged. (hide spoiler)]
