Looking for a summer pool side or beach read? Look no further than Marika Ray’s Salt Love. This book was filled with interesting characters, fun, laughter, and two people who seem complete opposites finding a love neither one wanted or expected. Kenna is a self made woman who spent her childhood taking care of herself and managing a household for her free spirited mother. After realizing her husband is cheating on her, then during a big work presentation realizing her co-worker is the one he’s cheating with, she quits her job, and isn’t quite sure what she’s going to do until she learns that her Aunt Maeve whom she really didn’t know died and left her house to her in Sunshine Key, Florida. Deciding to take care of dealing with the estate has her leaving California for Florida and learning not only did she inherit a house, but a business with a man she didn’t make a great first impression with who also happens to be her new neighbor. Dec isn’t quite sure what to think of the buttoned up, disheveled, ranting woman who his late neighbor and friend Maeve left her estate to, but he knows there’s something about her that intrigues him and he doesn’t want to be intrigued. Finding out she has to stay a year in order to get her inheritance is a headache he’s not ready for, but he also can’t deny the connection they seem to have. I was immediately drawn into this story once Kenna and Dec met and I found it hard to put the book down. While I did figure out about most of Dec’s past from things that were said and implied I also understood why him not filling Kenna in was a big deal to her. I loved watching Kenna transform and eventually embracing the “salt life” and Dec falling for her more and more each day. Salt Love was a feel good story about embracing change and being true to yourself. A fun, flirty, and entertaining story, I loved this one.

I have to admit the town was a character in this story as much as the people and the people were quirky to say the least. Avon arrives from San Diego as she inherited something from an uncle she didn’t even know existed and while she was dreaming about what she’d do with her inheritance, the hard truth was she inherited the town’s newspaper and the building it was housed in. While the attorney looks for a buyer, Avon must step into the role of editor in chief and soon begins to appreciate the people, the town, and finds out way more about the family still living there that she never knew about. She also butts heads with Grady the police chief from the moment she arrived. This fish out of water story was heartwarming, sweet, and a bit suspenseful. A delightful small town romance with a bit of a twist, I loved Mr. Right Now. ...more
