Beach Lane Book Review

The last book that I had from the library so I should have savored it but I used it as my break from packing and unpacking boxes. Beach Lane (A Chesapeake Shores Novel) by Sherryl Woods was the next book in the Chesapeake Shores series for me to read and the book that I had was a nice new paperback from the library so it was like I got it brand new from the bookstore.  I love being one of the first to read the book!

In the close-knit community of Chesapeake Shores, Maryland, Susie O'Brien and Mack Franklin's "not dating" claim befuddles everyone, especially since the two spend every spare minute together. Susie's thrilled when their friendship finally heats up. Then, just when happily-ever-after seems within reach, Mack loses the job he loves and Susie faces a devastating diagnosis.  But O'Briens always unite in a crisis. Even her cousin Jess, Susie's rival for most of their lives, becomes her staunchest supporter—especially when Mack's former lover comes to live and work in town. The stakes are higher than ever before, but Susie's definitely up to the challenge…as long as Mack's right there by her side.

This book had a lot of crying for me but it was an amazing book.  I have been reading the whole series with Mack and Susie "not dating" for at least three years and it was great to see them finally come together.  The emotions that they both go through are very raw and anyone that has had family go through a medical battle will appreciate this book because it really hits home.  There are rays of hope that shine through even with the tough subject so make sure you pick it up and see how much you enjoy the happy times.  I hope that you check this out at your local library or bookstore.  It was amazing and a great book to read even by itself but especially with the rest of the series.  I hope that you enjoy it as much as I have.
