Publisher Description
Single mom Heather Donovan’s dreams of home and family are tantalizingly within reach when she settles in Chesapeake Shores. The welcoming arms of the boisterous, loving O’Brien clan embrace her and her son. But accepting their support seems to further alienate her son’s father, Connor O’Brien. His parents’ divorce and his career as a high-powered divorce attorney have left him jaded about marriage. Then everything changes. Will the possibility of a future without Heather make Connor look at love and his career differently? Heather’s just about given up on her old dreams—of love, of family, and especially of Driftwood Cottage, the home she secretly wishes were hers. It’s going to take a lot of persuasion—and some help from the O’Brien family—to make her believe that some dreams are worth fighting for.

"This book centers around Conner O'Brien and Heather Donovan. Heather is looking for more in a relationship then what she has with Conner she wants the ring, commitment and marriage. Conner after dealing with his parents failed marriage wants to be as far from the altar as possible. Of course it doesn't help that he is a divorce attorney. Heather thought with the birth of their son Mick that Conner would want more, but seeing as that isn't possible she has left him and moved to Chesapeake Shores and opened a quilting business. Most of the book is spent with Conner and Heather going round in circles. They both adamant to what they want and won't cave. Conner finds his job is not what he wants and is offered a job in Chesapeake Shores instead of living in Baltimore. So he takes the job and leaves his city life behind. When Heather gets in a car accident Conner has a turn about with regards to Heather and wants to marry her, now she is the one stonewalling him. I loved how Heather loved Driftwood Cottage even with it's falling apart kind of like men care about cars that they rebuild. I love this series so much!"

" Just to sweet. I started reading Sherryl Woods with the first Chesapeake series. They started out pretty good but now with the fifth one they are all the same. You know who the next book is going to be about before finishing the one you are reading. "

" Light, fun and predictable read. I must admit I was surprised that a romance novel beginning with the boy and girl already in love, and no one trying to break them up, could be so long and hold my attention so well. "

" This installment seemed to drag. The angst between Heather and Connor got just a bit tedious, and the sub-plots could have been more developed. Still and all, I'll finish up the last 3 books. Don't get me wrong, this book wasn't painful...just could have been half the length. "

" I really like getting to know the O'Brien family. I felt that it dragged on in some areas and kept repeating the same scene but it was still a good book. I do like how Heather had her own insecurities too along with Conner. "

" There was no doubt from the beginning that Heather & Conner would end up together. It is afterall a Chesapeake Shores book. The question was how many creative ways were they going to fight it before it happened. An easy read, Great escape after a long day. "

" So dull. And the premise was so stupid--if there really are people that make the choices that these two did and struggle with the consequences of those choices, I don't want to know them or read about them. The whole book was a blah blah blah sort of read. "
