Forever on the Bay: A Novel

Delightful plot, the settings and characters. A place where forgiveness and healing are tested. When the past comes to test Evan but with Cassie and the love and hope for a more fulfilling life. A good clean heartwarming story, of reaching out for what you want. GivenARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

What a great way to wrap up the series. Just like in the previous books, I fell in love with the characters. I liked Evan and Cassie from the first. I loved how Evan was looking after Cassie’s safety while looking for her brother’s killer. Cassie was used to being treated like an invalid all her life and wanted to be her own person, and I liked how the author was able to accomplish this. I thought this was a great book and I recommend it. I received a copy of this book from the publisher and was not required to write a positive review.

Forever on the Bay by Lee Tobin McClain is book six in her The Off Season series. The standalone books in the series continue to get better and better. Evan Stone is the only single cop on the Pleasant Shores police force. His presence next door to the Victory Cottage is intended to deter criminals. Cassandra Thomas is the little sister of Evan’s best friend; only, she’s not so little any more. Living in Victory Cottage was supposed to help Cassie, not cause her more emotional pain. Will these two find a way to comfort each other without the complications attraction brings? More of the same is a good thing when it comes to Ms. McClain’s The Off Season series, and Forever on the Bay is more of the same. Readers familiar with the series will remember Evan Stone, and we’re introduced to Cassie Thomas, the latest inhabitant of Victory Cottage. These two characters are very well-conceived and interesting. The plot is intriguing and holds the reader’s attention. The setting still holds a prominent place, giving some local ambiance. This is yet another 5 out of 5 star read in this series. I recommend it to all readers of chaste romance and romantic suspense. My thanks to the author for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book. However, the opinions expressed in this review are 100% mine and mine alone.
