Three broken hearts, One Shore Town, and a Second Chance at Everything

Life on the Jersey Shore wasn’t always painted in shades of regret for Rose, Casey, and Nita. Once inseparable best friends, a tragic twist of fate ripped them apart, scattering their dreams across the miles. Now, years later, fate brings them crashing back together in the quaint seaside town that holds both bittersweet memories and a promise of redemption.

Rose, a once-celebrated chef, drowns her sorrows in vodka, the ghost of a successful New York career clinging to her like the salty spray. Casey, haunted by the threat of losing her family’s cherished inn, struggles to keep her head above water. Nita, yearning for a sense of normalcy, discovers an unexpected pregnancy just as life throws her a curveball.

As the summer sun paints the sky in fiery hues, these three women, bound by the enduring threads of friendship, embark on a journey of healing. Laughter and tears mingle with the salty ocean breeze as they navigate the messy realities of life, love, and the unexpected beauty of second chances.
Will they find solace in the familiar embrace of their hometown, or will the ghosts of their past forever keep them at arm’s length? Discover the heartwarming story of friendship, resilience, and the transformative power of love under the Jersey Shore sky.

This summer romance promises laughter, tears, and a story you won’t forget.

My favorite July thing to do…

I love this time of year because it’s when I get to relax under an umbrella on the beach and read. Read, and read, and read. LOL! I just demolished some steamy romances and then decided to tackle something a little more serious: 1984 by George Orwell. It’s been a great read so far because of the ideas expounded and also the wonderful writing and development of the characters. What about you? What’s your favorite July thing to do? P.S. – If you’re looking for a beach read, check out the At the Shore contemporary romance box set which Amazon has discounted to 99 cents for a limited time!

Happy National Strawberry Sundae Sunday

Who doesn’t love an ice cream sundae? There are so many possible combinations and I have to confess, I do mix up my ice creams and toppings if I am having a sundae. Some of my favorites are strawberry ice cream with hot fudge (think chocolate-covered strawberries). Another favorite is a strawberry sundae, whether vanilla ice cream or strawberry ice cream with strawberry sauce! Are you seeing a pattern here? Yes, I’m one of those people who loves strawberry ice cream, but I also love other fruit flavors like cherry vanilla and mango. Another fav: Carvel’s Fudgie the Whale with those tasty chocolate crunchies inside. What about you? What’s your fav sundae or ice cream? P.S. – Have a fabulous Sunday! I hope you enjoy whatever you’re doing today!

Today’s the Day!

After months of planning, the big day is here! It’s baby shower time. Of course, it’s not the REALLY BIG DAY when our little baby will arrive. We can’t wait for that but in the meantime we’ll celebrate the joy and happiness that’s to come. This is one of the decorations I put together after a neighbor mentioned making one. Not bad for a first try, I think. What do you think? I know we’re going to have a fun day today and hope you are having a great day as well!
