Olivia Davenport has finally
gotten her life back together. She's left her painful past behind, started over
in a new town, and become Harmony Harbor's most sought-after event planner. But
her past catches up to her when Olivia learns that she's now guardian of her
ex's young daughter. With her world spinning, Olivia must reconcile her old
life with her new one. And she doesn't have time for her new next door
neighbor, no matter how handsome he is.
Olivia may act like she's got
everything under control, but Dr. Finn Gallagher knows a person in over her
head when he sees one. He'd really like to be the shoulder she leans on, but
Olivia makes it clear she doesn't want his help. Since he's returned to town,
his waiting room has been full of single women feigning illness. Yet the one
woman he's interested in is avoiding him. But with a little help from some
matchmaking widows and a precocious little girl, Finn might just win Olivia
over.
BONUS: The eBook edition includes
a complete novel from BookShots Flames, THE MCCULLAGH INN IN MAINE by Jen
McLaughlin!
My thoughts:
Primrose Lane is the third in the Harmony Harbor series. This is Olivia and Finn's story. For the most part, I enjoyed this installment. The first in the series iss till my fvorite so far. The thing that I love most about this series is the relationship of the brothers, wives and family members. They are all great characters. I love their banter and and antics. It makes for some very amusing reading. I loved the shark scene.
As far as the romance between Finn and Olivia, I wasn't too into it at first, but they grew on me as the book progressed. What I loved more about the story was the relationship between Olivia and George. I just loved watching that relationship blossom and grow. It was gut wrenching at times and completely sweet at others. Their HEA was the one I was most looking forward to toward the end of the book. I'll leave it to you to discover who George is and how important this character ends up being to Olivia.
Of course, we are also treated to ghost Colleen again throughout the book. Her antics to try to meddle in with her family are always amusing. I am looking forward to the next book. I hope it's Aiden's story!

Excerpt:
Dana leaned down to scoop her phone off the ground. No sooner had
she picked it up than it rang. She recognized the number. Her finger trembled
when she rejected the call. She should answer and get it over with. It might be
something as simple as sending her copies of her divorce papers. But she didn’t
believe that was all her lawyer wanted. Because every time she saw his number,
the small hairs on the back of her neck stood on end, and she was overcome by a
heavy sense of foreboding.
Strong fingers closed around her wrist. “Dana, relax. Take slow,
even breaths or you’ll hyperventilate. That’s a girl,” Finn said when she did
as he suggested, his other hand going to the nape of her neck. He gently
massaged the tight muscles there, murmuring his encouragement as she got
herself under control. There was no judgment in his voice. Just kindness and
concern.
She’d heard Finn was well loved and respected by the people he
served with Doctors Without Borders. She now had a better understanding why.
Leaning against him, she was enveloped by the strength and warmth of his body
and the seductive scent of his cologne.
“Thank you.” She self-consciously pulled away. “We should probably
get going. I have to be back at the manor by two to get organized for the
children’s craft session. They’re going to paint flowerpots for their mothers.
I was going to use pink tulips but your dog trampled them, so maybe I’ll go
with hyacinths. I think there’ll be enough. They’re pretty, and they mean
constant love and fertility. That should work, don’t you think?”
“I have no idea what you're talking about. And not to be rude, but
I really don’t care. What I do care about is who’s trying to contact you. It’s
obvious that they frighten you, Dana. Why don’t you let me help?”
“No, it’s not what you think. I’m fine, honestly.”
“Sure you are, because perfectly fine people have panic attacks
when they get a call in the middle of the afternoon, take too many sleeping
pills, and wear a disguise. Come on, what do you take me for? At least do me
the courtesy of being honest.”
All she could do was blink up at him, the warm feelings of moments
ago shriveling up in response to his Arctic-cold words. She’d been right the
day she met him. He probably did have a God complex. He might be ten years
younger than her ex-husband, but he was just as sanctimonious and judgmental.
