Book Review: She's Like The Wind by Carrie Elks

Title: She's Like The Wind

Author: Carrie Elks

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: May 16, 2019

Cover Designed by: Najla Qamber

He’d be a fool to fall for his long-legged, barefoot employee. But bad decisions have never stopped him before…

Successful businessman and single father, Nate Crawford, doesn’t need any more complications. That’s why he’s moved his business – and his life – to a small beach town. He’s expecting sun, sea and tranquility, but what he gets is a whirlwind in the form of town sweetheart, Ally Sutton.

Ally’s used to dealing with heartache. But losing the café she’s owned for years is the final straw. Being offered a new job feels like a lifeline – that is until she meets her much-older and impossibly handsome new boss.

In the space of a few weeks, everything changes. And when an accident forces them closer, Nate and Ally can’t ignore the fascination between them any longer. But neither of them are ready for the storm they’re about to unleash.

**She’s Like the Wind is the second book in the Angel Sands series, set in a small beach town on the California coast. If you like a heartwarming read that’s low on angst and big on feels, this stand-alone romance is for you.**

My Rating:

Favorite Quotes:

“If I kiss you will you shut up?” Ally’s mouth dropped open and she stared at him with those big blues. “Probably not. But you should do it anyway.”

Gossip moved faster than the speed of light in Angel Sands… Having social media was pointless around here. By the time you opened your phone up to look, all the news was old.

My Review:

This engaging book had all the feels and a bit of everything including a fresh start for several, a new relationship for the main characters, sensual sizzle, loads family drama, small-town quirks, relatable characters, easy humor, and a mercurial and obnoxious teenager. And all of that was well packaged within several eventful yet easy to follow and entertaining storylines. I adored this couple and am eagerly looking forward to the next in the series, which was promised to arrive in a few months time.
