Just One Kiss A Harbor Pointe Novel

Courtney Walsh — 2019

He broke her heart. Now, he's back, and he's determined to show her what they had isn't over. . . and he can prove it with just one kiss. Single mother Carly Collins likes predictability. However, when her son Jaden's health is threatened, her neatly controlled world is tossed into a tailspin. Nothing is certain anymore, especially her feelings for Josh Dixon, Jaden's father, her first love and the man responsible for shattering her heart sixteen years ago. When Josh Dixon walked out of Harbor Pointe, he left behind his only shot at a real family. Now a successful tech mogul, the town rebel has found a cause--ensure his son's recovery and prove to Carly and Jaden that he's not the same guy he was back then. Carly and Josh are forced to wade through messy emotions and questions that have gone unanswered for years, which would be easier if not for the pesky feelings, every bit as strong and impossible to ignore as they ever were. Will forgiveness win, giving Carly and Josh a second chance at love . . . or will the past prove too much to overcome? A small town romance about first love second chances and how our most beautiful life might look nothing like we planned. This book is a standalone novel. Each Harbor Pointe novel follows a different couple. "Original, romantic, and emotional. Walsh doesn't just write the typical romance novel. . . She makes you feel for all the characters, sometimes laughing and sometimes crying along with them." ~Romantic Times Other books by Courtney Walsh Contemporary Romance Just Look Up Just Let Go Change of Heart Paper Hearts Women's Fiction Hometown Girl Things Left Unsaid Sweethaven Novels A Sweethaven Romance: Novella A Sweethaven Summer A Sweethaven Homecoming A Sweethaven Christmas Contemporary Romance CollectionRight Where We Belong

Overall enjoyed this emotional second chance love story. I had a hard time liking Carly. I could understand her want to protect her heart, but it's not much fun to read a romance about an angry, bitter woman. It made me respect Josh all that much more for being in love with and faithful to her over all the years when she was like that; and yes, it did seem like she was the one who pushed him away years ago anyway, then blamed him for leaving. The more we learned about their backstory, the more invested I became in this book. I liked the story development, and I liked Josh and Jaden, but I prefer stories with more faith content in them so I might or might not continue reading books by this author.
