Chrissie
Jenkins always thought she was ugly and not worth anything in life. So when a
handsome guy sweeps her off her feet, she figures she found her very own prince
charming. Except he wasn’t a prince nor charming. With more courage than she
thought, she runs away and hides back on Cannonball Island and into the arms of
her Great Aunt Ruby. Being back home soothes Chrissie’s soul and battered heart
in many ways. But when she meets Jared Chandler, she finds an honest and
sincere man who she becomes friends with. With her newly rebuilt life moving
forward., Chrissie is determined to not fall for another man if she can help
it. But what happens when she helps Jared out at his family wedding, they see
things in one another that they never imagined. The question is will they
embrace what they see in each other or will they ignore it and have their
hearts break?

Stewart’s Chesapeake Diaries is a fun filled romp filled with captivating
characters, intriguing bits of information about the locals and the history of
Cannonball Island and St. Dennis filling the pages of DUNE DRIVE. I love this series since the first book, Coming Home,
and was thrilled to see the author move onto the residents of Cannonball Island
that is across the bridge from St. Dennis. The author does an amazing job in
capturing the slow-paced life that makes up Cannonball Island and the few
residents who live there are a treat. I loved seeing Ruby, the island’s oldest
resident and one who cracks me up whenever she is on the page. Chrissie is
hurting and trying to reclaim the person she was before her life became
shattered. What I love the most are the characters in this series. We meet some
new ones and a few old friends from past books. I love seeing how everyone is
doing, what they are up to and all the gossip. The author does a marvelous job
in capturing every character’s individual personality just perfectly. I like
the diverse cast of characters and we got to see some older folk take center
stage at times in the book.
Chrissie
still can’t believe she is back on Cannonball Island. She couldn’t get enough
dust behind her when she left. Coming back to the island to heal her battered
heart and soul is just one aspect of Chrissie’s life now. The other is find out
where the girl she was is again. I love Chrissie. She was hurting and ran to
something familiar in this case her Aunt Ruby and family she has in and around
St. Dennis & Cannonball Island. She is
quite relatable and is the perfect foil to Jared Chandler, a salvager
who is determined to never fall in love. Except when these two meets, its pure
combustion. The sparks fly between Jared and Chrissie as they get to know one
another as well explore the tiny town of St. Dennis and Cannonball Island. I
love Chrissie and Jared together. They complement one another, and I found
myself rooting for them to have their own happy ever after. The author captures
their attraction perfectly amid the pages of DUNE DRIVE and ramps up the sexual tension between them just right.
DUNE DRIVE is
a sweet tale of a woman who feels she list herself and her life and has no idea
how strong she really is. With the right amount of tension, sweet romance and a
small town that fairly brims with life, I long to see for myself what Bling has
for the casual shopper, what the flavors of ice cream are at Scoops and more.
If you haven’t read The Chesapeake Diaries series, I highly recommend you start
from the beginning with Coming Home and just run with it. I love each book and
hope the author returns to this quaint town and island.
