Love On Spruce Island by Daisy Landish

From Goodreads:

Anna Dawson is a divorced, single mother who works too hard and claims she has no time for a love life. The truth is, at 48 years old, she’s still bitter about her ex-husband. When she’s sent on assignment on a dreamy island, she meets a man that may very well rearrange her priorities.

Tyler Marshall is a charming, African American, 50-year-old ex-military man who never even considered having a committed relationship. But a streak of odd situations puts Anna Dawson on his path. Will he take the hint and give love chance?

My Take:

I give this novella 3/3.5 stars because it felt more like the outline of a story to me. There is a lot of potential here, but the story is so short that I never really got a feel for the characters, and the timeline felt strange. Maybe more time passed than I thought during the story? It felt like he proposed to her on the fourth time they were together.

For my clean reads only followers--there is some innuendo and the f-word is used once but nothing other than kisses happens.

I received a copy from storyorigin in exchange for an honest review.

1-5 scale and what it means:
1: I couldn’t even finish it / just plain bad
2: I hope I didn’t pay for this / disappointing
3: I didn’t hate it, but it was still missing something / forgettable but inoffensive
3.5: On the line between good and ok / like, not love
4: Solid mind candy / worth reading
4.5: So very close to perfection! / must read
5: I could not put it down and I’m still thinking about it! / a true treasure
