#BookReview: Christmas on the Coast (The Off Season #3) by @leetobinmcclain

Synopsis: There’s no better place to spend Christmas than on the Chesapeake Bay, where it’s always the perfect season to start over.

Former police officer Paul Thompson has come to the little town of Pleasant Shores to heal his PTSD. The prescription involves volunteering, therapy and, most of all, a stable routine for his young son. Falling for Amber Rowe, however, would make that stability impossible. Even though she immediately bonds with little Davey, Amber’s future is filled with uncertainty, and Paul can’t bear to see his son love and lose someone else.

Amber got to know Paul’s late wife while writing a book about cancer. In doing so, she learned a secret that could tear Paul’s world apart. Keeping her distance is the best way to avoid unwittingly causing turmoil for a man she’s come to care about more than she ever intended. But as Christmas draws near and their joint volunteer project develops, so does the depth of their feelings. And soon, Amber will have to choose between keeping a promise and committing to a risky love…

My Review: I don't read many adult titles but this one drew me in and I could not stop reading.  I loved the characters and how they were dealing with situations from cancer too PTSD.  It felt so real and down to earth.  I loved the little town and just everyone in it.  The story weaved from the two main characters to a few side characters and it worked so well.  I do think that the story lost some of its momentum towards the end but overall it was still so good.
