Two of my favorites wrapped into one, family series about three sisters and a romance about lost love...Couldn't get any better!

In a trade-off she's lived to regret, Emily Castle left home years ago to become an interior designer. The youngest of three sisters, Emily desperately wanted to prove herself. Success, though, came at the cost of leaving behind the man she loved.For Boone Dorsett, losing Emily left his heart shattered, but another woman was waiting in the wings. Now a widower with a young son, Boone has a second chance with Emily when a storm brings her home. But with his former in-laws threatening a custody suit, the stakes of loving her are higher than ever.

Will fate once again separate them—or is the time finally right for these two star-crossed lovers?

I have to tell the truth...this is my FIRST Sherryl Woods book EVER...and I am so ashamed to say, because I had SO MUCH FUN reading it!  As a transplant from Long Island, NY to Wilmington, NC, I can vouch for the well-written coastal description, it was like taking a ride down to the beach, I think I could even smell the salty air.

Sand Castle Bay is the first book in the Ocean Breeze series, which involves the Castle Sisters, and their wonderful Grandmother, Cora Jane, LOVE HER!!  The first sister, Emily, has come home after a hurricane struck the coast, to help clean-up the beach side restaurant owned by her gran.  She expected missing shingles, and broken windows, what she doesn't expect is Boone Dorsett, the man she left behind ten years ago. 

These two have A LOT of built-up emotion between them, even after all these years.  The hurt never left, as and betrayal that Emily and Boone feel towards each other is something that neither has soon forgotten about.  But the spark between then is as strong as ever, all it takes is a look!!  WHOA BABY!!

Emily and Boone have a rough time at a second go.  Not only does he have a child to consider, he has his still half broken heart and she has her reservations as well, but this time around, it might just work out, if they don't let old hurts get in the way of a new beginning. 

Might I just say...I adored this romance and I can't wait to get my greedy little hands on more of the Ocean Breeze series.  I know there is a great story to be had for Gabi and Samantha, and I can't wait to see where Sherryl will take us!!

I highly recommend Sand Castle Bay, and I know the rest of the series will be just as good!!
