We are back in Raven’s Cove and this time it is middle brother Logan’s story and none other than Marina Manager Sophie, Logan was Sophie’s teenage crush and it went a bit further when she was eighteen but he left and broke her heart, Sophie went a bit wild after that and now is the single mother of eight year old Biyen. Sophie and Biyen are living with her grandfather but Sophie is still a little mad at Logan will she ever be able to forgive him?

Logan has arrived back to the place he grew up with his estranged half-brothers after the death of their father, he left years ago to design luxury yachts and lives in Florida, but him and his brothers must now get the renovations at Raven’s Cove done so as they can sell it and all move on, but the longer he stays here especially getting to know his new baby sister, Storm and spending time with Sophie and Biyen will he be able to walk away again?

This is such a great second chance romance, there is lots of emotion throughout this story Sophie and Logan have a lot from their pasts that they need to put behind them that is if they can open up first because the chemistry between them is strong and fiery. I loved being back in Raven’s Cove and catching up with Reid, Emma and Storm, Trystan as well and getting to now Biyen I do love Biyen.

This is one that I would highly recommend, it is sure to keep any romance reader turning the pages and feeling every emotion and I can’t wait for Trystan’s story.

My thanks to Tule Publishing for my digital copy to read and review.
