Flowers on Main (A Chesapeake Shores Novel, 2) Mass Market Paperback – August 30, 2016

good buy

It was good, but left me a bit frustrated. Not her best book, but still a very good read. I guess I just wanted more.WARNING.....MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW!!!Jake and Bree literally spent most of the book in just one fight after another. And then just when you finally think that Jake and Bree would quit fighting and start actually loving one another, they would have another fight and would not talk to each other for days. They even fought less than two minutes after having sex. Unbelievable!!! And then just when things were finally getter a bit better, the book ends. No epilogue, no letting the readers know if they ever actually got married.....NOTHING!!! He proposes, and then it ends. Sure, I guess if you want to get tecnical, there was a HEA of sorts, just not my idea of a good HEA. The ending just felt way too rushed.The story went back and forth between the broken relatioship between Bree & Jake, and her divorced parents, MIck & Megan trying to fix their troubled past---- which was okay----but I wanted more of Jack & Bree's story. I wondered why the author would bring Kevin back from over seas with a new wife in hand one minute, and then completely ignored the whole situation the next.I did however like the closeness and dynamic's of the O'Brien family. I absolutely loved Abby's twins.I also thought that about Jack, his sister,Caroline... and his neice,Jenny too. I have three daughters of my own---completely grown with their own teenage horrors of their own---so I could completely relate to Caroline's situation. Boys are easy, but girls???? you're lucky if you survive those teenage years unscathed.And I loved how Jack, Will, and Mack always had each other to lean on in both the good times, and the bad.I have read so many of Sherryl Woods books in the past, and this is the first time she's left me frustrated like this. But the fact that she can actually make me feel so strongly tells me she's the great author I've admired for years, otherwise I wouldn't have cared about any of these characters at all, right?

Have ordered quite a few books from you before and have been happy with them. This was no exception to that. Book was in good conditon and arrived in a timely manner and before time given to arrive. You make it easy to find the books I am looking for and I usually order the used but in good condition and have never had a reason to complain about the books I have received. Please keep up the good work and I will continue to buy online from you and let everyone know what a good deal it is and that they are generally always in the condition that you have quoted them to be in and always arrive quickly and ahead of time. I receive an email telling me when they are shipping and when I shall received them and you have always lived up to the expectations and made it simpilar to order online from you. You usually make it easy for me to find more books by the authors I like to read and with a full time job and taking care of my elderly mother it's easier to order on line as I don't have a lot of time to spare so this allows me to find what I want and not have to go to alot of stores looking for books. I don't have the time to go to the library alot so I appreciate how easy it is to find and get what I want. Thanks.

Another great book by Sherry Woods! So excited to continue Chesapeake Shores series!! The characters & storyline make you feel a part of their lives.

There was really nothing noteworthy that stood out to make this a "must read" book. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't memorable either. It was however, entertaining and well written. I bought and read the first 3 books of this series. The story lines were redundant. You read one, you basically read them all. The first two were the exact same storyline...lovers from the past separated by life, find each other again, scared of getting hurt, lots of serious communication flaws between lovers, yada yada yada, and they end up together in the very end. The third book was a little different, new lovers instead of old. The rest of the story remained very much the same with their past lives having them guarding their hearts, more communication flaws, yada yada yada, and finally together in the end. Because I had read the first two books, I had a very difficult time getting past the fictional timeline the author presented in the third book. All three books should have tied in nicely together. However, the third book did not mesh with the first two. Because this was very distracting to me, I never relaxed enough to enjoy the story. Which by the way the author continued to throw out information that should have tied neatly back in with the first two books, but didn't. I'm not normally that picky about things like that, but this one irritated the crap out of me.

I liked the characters and the plots and subplots intertwining within the book. However the ending seemed to sneak up on me. I wasn't expecting it yet.
