Jenna Ward is vivacious, spontaneous, and confident – except when she’s around the man who stole her heart years earlier, strikingly handsome, quiet, and reliable Pete Lacroux. After years of trying to get his attention and overwhelmed from dealing with her mother’s new cougar lifestyle, Jenna’s giving up on Peter – and is ready to explore other men.
As the eldest of five siblings, with an alcoholic father to care for, boat craftsman Pete Lacroux always does the right thing and has no time for a real relationship. He’s looking forward to seeing his friend Jenna, a welcome distraction who’s so damn sexy and so painfully shy that she equally entertains and confuses him.
When Jenna picks up a hard-bodied construction worker, jealousy ignites Pete’s true feelings, and he’s powerless to ignore the desires for Jenna he never realized he had. But Pete’s not the quiet guy he appears to be, and his life is anything but conducive to a relationship. Can Jenna handle the real Pete Lacroux – the sexiest, most passionate alpha male she’s ever seen – or will she crack under pressure? And can Pete reclaim the life he once had without tearing apart his family? This contemporary romance series features alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They’re flawed, funny, passionate, and relatable to listeners who enjoy new adult romance, contemporary romance, and women’s fiction. While each book may be listened to as a standalone, you might enjoy listening to the entire Love in Bloom series.

Missed the gang 3.5 stars. I missed the whole gang in this one. This is Jenna and Pete’s story and it was good, the rest of the seaside community made appearances but we’re few and not as fun as the first books. The girls did nothing funny or prankish, there were no late night chunky-dunking aka skinny dipping or drinking wine. Vera wasn’t in this one and the story itself had a more intense subject with divorce, mid life crisis and alcoholism. It was still a good read I just miss the connection between the…
