A heart-stirring novel of unrequited love and second chances by New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst.
BLURB:
Young widow Bella Sunshine-Caldwell is focused only on raising her daughter and running the family business, Sunshine Bridal. There’s no time for romance—especially with her fellow wedding planner, Gabe, whom she’s growing increasingly attracted to. He’s too enterprising to stay in Cape May for long, anyway. And too tall, dark, and handsome to be anything but a heartbreaker.
Every woman in town has her sights on Gabe Garcia. The only woman he has eyes for doesn’t seem interested. All he wants is to fall in love, be a father, and settle down. As he and Bella work together on a magical winter wedding, the distance between them closes, the nights grow warmer, and Bella might be seeing Gabe for who he really is: a man worth the effort.
But all it takes is a single rumor for these two hearts’ fragile love story to shatter. And now the happy ending Bella and Gabe hoped for is something they’re going to have to fight for.

EXCERPT:
He repeated the question. “I need to know. Why was it easier not to believe me?”
This time, she didn’t hesitate. “Because then I could pretend you weren’t the man I
really wanted.”
“And do you? Want me?”
She jerked back. Her tongue slipped out to wet her bottom lip. Her voice was barely a whisper. “Yes.”
He muttered a curse. Then leaned forward, his hand cupping her chin. “I want to kiss you, Bella. I’ve been wanting to kiss you forever, but I need to know it’s okay.”
She stared at him, pupils dilated, ragged breaths panting from her lips, and he knew this moment would be carved out in his mind—the first time he saw her face reflect her open want for him. She gave a tiny nod.
He moved closer. His lips stopped an inch from hers. “No. You need to say it.”
“Yes. Kiss me, Gabe.”
His mouth covered hers.
My Review:
My Rating: 3.5 Stars
Bella is doing her best to raise her daughter as a single mom after losing her husband 5 years ago while working at her family's wedding business. When Bella has to work with her fellow wedding planner Gabe for a winter wedding she realizes that even though she's attracted to him she is also starting to have less than platonic feelings for him. This is not a great realization for Bella because Gabe is known as a player in the small town. Not all rumors are true. Gabe just wants to settle down and be a father. He has had his sights on Bella since he moved to town. Can he prove he's in for the long haul? Will Bella open up and trust Gabe or will she believe the rumors?
This was a sweet contemporary romance with strong family ties. There were times Bella frustrated me, but her flaws and worries are what made her human. Gabe was patient and knew when to push Bella and when to give her space. Bella's daughters and sisters were also flushed out really well. This was a cute book.
