Find out why more than 5 million readers have landed on Gansett Island and never want to leave!

After unspeakable tragedy, will her heart take a new journey…or walk a well-worn path?

For four of the best summers of his young life, Luke Harris was in love with Sydney Donovan, a wealthy seasonal visitor to Gansett Island. Then Sydney went off to college and never came back. She married another man and had two children while Luke remained on the island, working at McCarthy's Gansett Marina and wondering what had gone wrong between him and the only woman he ever loved. Fifteen months after Sydney suffers the tragic loss of her husband and children, she's returned to Gansett to figure out what's next, and that may very well be a rekindled love affair with the one man from her past she’s never forgotten. But is she ready for a second chance at love?

"No one tells a love story like Marie Force or makes characters come alive for the readers. She has an incredible ability to pull you into the story and long after you finish the book the scenes still play out in your head and your heart. The McCarthys of Gansett Island sets a very high standard for all other series." Desiree Holt, author of the Phoenix Agency and Naked Cowboys series

What a heartbreaking start to this story. I’m ecstatic that Luke & Sydney were able to work though all their issues and reach their HEA. I can’t wait for the next book.

Ich lese u.a. um Englisch zu lernen, und da ich da noch nicht so gut bin, suchte ich nach einer Lektüre, die ich gut verstehen und nachvollziehen kann. Das ist diese Serie absolut. Sehr schön und liebevoll geschrieben!
Das Gute beim Lesen mit dem Kindel ist auch, dass man sich für einzelne Wörter dann schnell eine Übersetzungshilfe holen kann.
Ich freue mich, dass es aus dieser Serie noch viele weitere Bücher gibt.

A beautiful book. I love the Mcarthys of Gansett island, and have done so since book 1. I'm a late comer to them but once I'd read book one I knew I wanted more. As an author Marie Force does a fantastic job of immersing you into the characters lives, and unlike some authors those characters are not then forgotten, they remain integral in the follow on books, so you get to see how they progress and grow, which I love. I now have the whole set and am reading them back to back because with each one I'm eager to know more. Sydney and Luke's book was so emotional, and there were plenty of times I had tears in my eyes, but it was also a book full of hope and love and learning. I loved how Luke allowed Sydney to find herself by being so calm and laid back and loving. They were made for each other and I can't wait to see what's in their future.

Pour celles et ceux qui aiment les séries romantiques, The Mc Carthys of Gansett Island est pour vous. Une fois qu'on commence, on ne sait plus s'arrêter.

Les personnages sont hyper attachants, bien décrit et on rêve aussi de faire partie de leur bande de copains.

Dans ce tome, c'est l'histoire de joe et Janney, un couple qu'on va adorer!

This is the third book of the series: McCarthy's of Gansett Island by this wonderful author. I have read all her books and they all seem to captivate you with their stories and characters. This book was no exception. You don't need to read all the books in the series, they could stand on their own, but it helps with the history of some of the characters present. This is the story of Syd and Luke, who were once very much in love when they were teenagers. Syd would come back every summer and her relationship with Luke would continue, until one summer, she stopped coming and broke his heart. Syd moved on, got married, had a family of her own. She hasn't been back to the island until a terrible tragedy happens in her life and she loses her family. Luke never seemed to forget her and knowing she was back on the island, stirred lots of different emotions: he wanted to comfort her, be with her, but at the same time, he wanted answers, confront her, he was definitely torn.

This is a story about second chances, helping a person you love overcome tragedy, finding love again, a new outlook in life and friendships. This book was well written and emotionally captivating. It had humor, tons of romance, drama, sadness and joy. Reading this book will warm your heart; perfect summer reading! I can't wait to read Grant's book. Thank you Ms. Force for writing such wonderful stories and keeping your fans entertained!
