Title: TANGLED LOVE ON PELICAN POINT

Sophie Bristol works two jobs—sometimes three—and is surrounded by people
falling in love and that’s great. Really, it’s great. It’s not like she ever
thought she’d find that perfect someone. After all, she learned he probably
only exists in some far away land with talking wildlife and glass slippers, and
that works perfectly for her busy schedule. Not to mention she experienced the
worst divorce in island history between her parents, and she got to be there
for every painful second to warp her view on the subject. And let’s not forget
her stepmom has only learned to like Sophie once she began helping take care of
her dad after his stroke.
So to say love isn’t a priority is an understatement. Life hasn’t been
easy, not that she ever expected it to be, and she’s fine with the hand she’s
been dealt.
Really, she is fine. But when Sophie falls for a rock star, it will take
more than a fairy godmother to make love work in the real world.
Anthony Hill is the lead singer of the Crimson Strings and his band has hit
it big. Really big. Huge, actually. And he should be thrilled. It’s what he’s
always wanted. However, sometimes there is a big disconnect between dreams and
reality. With his nonstop touring schedule and pressure to repeat success on
his next album, he flees to the one place that scarred him the most, Fireweed
Island. He hopes if he confronts the demons of his past, he’ll finally get to
experience the happiness he so desperately craves, but he soon finds out coming
back to the island might be the worst decision he’s ever made.
Until he meets her.
What Anthony wants, no—needs— is simple. He needs Sophie Bristol to fall in
love with him. What he gets is a tangled mess involving two very complicated
people, who refuse to see what is right in front of them. He realizes the
fantasy of love he’s conjured up over the years will take more than finding the
one because he has apparently found the “one” who has no interest in love or
dating. He knows the only way he has a chance with Sophie is to get her to
trust him, but given his current profession that won’t be easy.
My take...
Have I ever mentioned how much I love
this series? I need to live on this island and become BFF's with all these
amazing characters. Because seriously. They. Are. Amazing. And I have probably
mentioned before that whichever book I am reading, that guy is my favorite of
favorites by Bolton. And Anthony is that leading man right now. I absolutely
adore him. He is a rock star for goodness sake.
I really enjoyed Sophie’s story and her
struggles are real. Real, every day struggles that so many of us are facing:
debt, caring for our loved ones, and working more than one job. She is such a
relatable character. One many readers will love and will love seeing her get
her happily ever after. Yep, you can always count on Bolton to give us the
happy in the end. And the romance. And the feels. She does it all!!
And once again the secondary characters
play a huge role in this story. I loved Nick even more and cannot wait to read
his book. It is coming soon!! I know for sure I have said it before but it’s
always fun to see all the past characters show up from time to time in each of
the books. A wonderful treat to those of us who have been following (and
loving) this series. I felt like if you were just coming into the series, you
could get away with reading this one first. To a certain degree. However, I
think it would be best to start at the beginning and allow yourself to grow a
relationship with the characters before they tell their own story. It just
makes sense, right?
I am about to start the next book in the
series and cannot wait to get to know who Jewels really is and how her story
will play out. Way to go Bolton on giving us readers another fabulous read that
had me smitten from start to end. 5 Rocked My Socks Right Off Stars!
