Book Summary:

Elite ballerina Allie Rousseau is no stranger to pressure. With her mother’s eyes always watching, perfection was expected, no matter the cost. But when an injury jeopardizes all she’s sacrificed for, Allie returns to her summer home to heal and recover. But the memories she’s tried to forget rush in and threaten to take her under.

As a Coast Guard rescue swimmer, Hudson Ellis knows that hesitation can mean the difference between life and death. He’s always prided himself on being in the right place at the right time, especially when it came to Allie Rousseau…until the night he left for basic. After the biggest regret of his life, the secrets he keeps mean he can never be with the one woman he wants more than his next breath.

When Hudson’s niece shows up on Allie’s doorstep, desperate to find her birth mother, Allie finds herself in an unimaginable position. Allie and Hudson’s past and present might be endlessly complicated. The thread that tied them to each other all those years ago may have unraveled, but the truth could pull them back together, or drive them apart forever.

My Thoughts:

 

This was a fabulous love story. I loved the storyline, characters, and all the emotions that played out. Allie the MFC is a professional ballerina who gets injured and returns home to recover. She has a love-hate relationship with her career. There are a lot of expectations and she is just making her way through the day one day at a time. Then there is Hudson the MMC. He is a Coast Guard rescue swimmer. Every time he gets into the water he is risking everything. But he already lost everything 11 years ago when Allie left town. Hudson is there to bring Allie back to herself and help her learn to love again. Even if he has to let her go again, this story makes you feel you know the characters and root for them to work it out.

I listened to this on audio and highly recommend the narrators Teddy Hamilton and Carly Robins. They did a fantastic job.
