For years Rowan Flynn distanced herself from Bayberry Island and its infamous mermaid legend. But after her investor fianc� lost what was left of her family’s fortune, Rowan reluctantly agreed to run the Safe Haven Bed-and-Breakfast, determined never again to fall for the ridiculous fantasy of the mermaid matchmaker.
Now Rowan is just biding her time until she can return to her “real” life in New York, fixing up the B and B and avoiding neighbors who are angry that the Flynns won’t sell their land to a developer set on turning the island into a glitzy vacation destination.
But when a handsome stranger arrives at the B and B the night before the annual Mermaid Festival, Rowan’s life takes a turn for the interesting. Could it be the divine hand of the town’s patroness? Or is Rowan being set up for another disappointment?
My Review: Rated 5 out of 5 stars
It is truly a remarkable book with a story that will make even the non-believers of true love believe! I loved that this story was about an island that worships a mermaid after a family legend. It is said that a man who is searching for true love and asks the mermaid with an open heart , she will grant there forever love. The Flynn family is a down to earth family that has family drama like a normal family. Mona, which is Rowan’s mother, was my favorite character since she is bossy and dragged everyone to do what she said. Loved that Ash was a character that only cared about work and money. He was the perfect character to see develop to a man who is truly kind, loving, and determined to be part of a family again. Great book, perfect for the beach.
