This is a great first book by the author. I'm glad she has continued with the series. I agree with some of the other reviews that parts of the storyline were obvious. That's ok with me. If I wanted a suspense or mystery, I'd read a different author.I read this series out of order so I knew a little bit about some of the characters from the other book, but it didn't take away from the story. Even though I could figure out how the story was going to end, I was still compelled to read it to find out the process and paths the characters would take. I definitely have an opinion about each character - love them or hate them. That's why I think it was a successful story. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series. Spinning Forward Cedar Keys Series by Terri dulongSyndey Webster has just buried her physician husband and finds a sheriff at her house with an eviction notice to take effect in 5 weeks time.Her husband had gambled the house away without her knowing it.

Her daughter, back up in the northeast still can't believe what's happened and that she allowed her dad to do that to her mother. She rather blames her mother for not keeping track of things.She gets a new hairdo and a job locally and talks to the woman at the bank about a business for her potential yarn shop.Characters are introduced and then you find out other details about them and it's easy to keep them straight.Others tell her to go find her bio mother and there are mysteries about this during the book.With her daughter's injury she will be moving into the tree house apartment with Syndey til she gets on her feet. Syndey's friends have set her up with dinner dates. There are quite a few men that she shows an interest in, for one reason or another and one, Noah Hale that just rubs her the wrong way in every regard.There are a lot of goings on during the book that are small but combined together make the story a good one.
Mind candy. Fine for a summer read but easily forgotten afterwards.
