Synopsis:

Under summer skies, New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods evokes family, friendship and heartfelt emotion.

With her two younger sisters heading for the altar, will Samantha Castle exchange old dreams for new ones? Lately she'd rather be on the North Carolina coast with family than in New York with agents and actors. Though she vows not to let her teenage crush on Ethan Cole influence her decision, it's hard to ignore her feelings for the local war hero.

Ethan lost more than his leg in Afghanistan. He lost his belief in love. Even being surrounded by couples intent on capturing happily-ever-after won't open this jaded doctor's heart. It's going to take a sexy, determined woman—one who won't take no for an answer.

We pick up the story almost immediately after the end of Gabi and Wade’s story in Wind Chime Point.  Emily is in full wedding planning mode for her dream wedding to Boone.  With the help of Cora Jane the sisters are tying up loose ends and getting things ready for the big day – which is only a few weeks away!

Samantha has come home from New York City to be there for Emily and see her family.  Things haven’t been going as well as Samantha had hoped in NYC.  Her acting career seems to have hit a snag and isn’t sure what she wants to do.  Emily suggested a move to LA and start over but she just can’t see herself there.

Samantha has had a thing for Ethan since high school but he never noticed her.  Until now that is!  Cora Jane, Emily and Gabi have been scheming ways to get the two together.  They use all sorts of tricks and not so subtle pushes to get Ethan and Sam into each others arms.

I really enjoyed the 3rd book in this series.  The Castle sisters are a lot of fun and have had to jump through quite a few hoops to get their happily ever after's.  This book was filled with a few surprises – which I won’t spoil!  I’d love to find out more about Cora Jane and Jerry!

Would I recommend this book?  In a heart beat!  If you loved the others in the series then this is a must read for you.  If you are a lover of fun, cute contemporary romance then you should give this series a try!  Would I read more by this author?  Most definitely!

Book Tour: Bring Me Back by Karen Booth

I’m Karen, a Midwestern girl transplanted in the South, raised on 80s music, Judy Blume, and the films of John Hughes. An early preoccupation with Rock ‘n’ Roll led me to spend my twenties working my way from intern to executive in the music industry. Much of my writing revolves around the world of backstage passes and band dynamics. My first full-length novel, “Bring Me Back”, is a story I had in my head for nearly eight years before my fingers hit the keyboard. Sleeping and eating quickly became a luxury, a plan I have since dubbed the Writer’s Diet. I channeled teenage memories of plastering my walls with posters to weave the tale of music journalist, Claire Abby, and the dreamy British rock-star crush of her youth, Christopher Penman. “Bring Me Back” is a work of women’s fiction, published by Turquoise Morning Press. When I’m not creating fictional musicians, I’m listening to everything from old-school Cheap Trick to Duran Duran to Superchunk with my kids, honing my Southern
