About this audiobook
Charlotte Madsen's whole world came crashing down six months ago with the words, "I met someone else."
Thirty-seven, recently divorced, and childless. That's Charlotte when she disembarks from the plane in Getaway Bay. She wants to get away, that's for sure. She thought the best way to do that was to buy a run-down house overlooking the bay, knowing she'll need all her fixer-upper skills to get it in shape. Which is just fine. She's hoping as she overhauls the house, she'll get a life makeover too.
She was not expecting a tall, handsome man to be under the kitchen sink when she arrives at the supposedly abandoned house. She wasn't expecting to get drenched when the non-plumber twists something the wrong way. And she certainly wasn't expecting her heart to be well enough to feel anything for anyone.
But former Air Force pilot, Dawson Dane, has a charming devil-may-care personality, and Charlotte could use some carefree laughter in her life. But everything with Dawson isn't sunshine and unicorns. He's estranged from his family, though he does speak to one of his brothers. And he's never committed to anything except his career, even choosing flying over an engagement years ago.
Can Charlotte navigate the healing process as she renovates the island house? Can Dawson finally make a commitment to a woman? Or will he and Charlotte decide a relationship is just too hard?

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed this book, however, the narrator’s voice was extremely robotic. It was very difficult to listen to for hours.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Quick, sweet and I was able to finish in one sitting.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great first in the series. Mostly a believable story and thank you for putting feeling into this couples relationship without them jumping into bed immediately. It's a refreshing change.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I didn’t love the narrator’s voice, but the story was short and sweet. I was so happy that there wasn’t language and no salacious sex scenes. The characters are all likable and the story pulls you in immediately. I also greatly appreciate that drama was not drawn out.
