The Claytons and Harringtons are back!
Drew
Harrington loves baseball, drumming and Cassie Anteros, although not
necessarily in that order. After his parents die, Drew finds comfort
in all the wrong places, until Cassie discovers him passed out,
facedown, in his own vomit.
Cassie
Anteros is a big-hearted, sheltered princess who Drew abandons when
he leaves school to get himself together. After graduation, with an
Ivy League degree in hand and years of grooming behind her, Cassie is
well-positioned to take over her father's Wall Street firm, but a
lump in her left breast sets her life on a different path.
Now
eight years later, he's the very sexy general manager of the Boston
Blues baseball team, and she's an award-winning baker in Baltimore.
When the two come face-to-face, the earth trembles under their feet,
threatening to swallow them whole. She still owns a piece of his
soul, and he lives-on in her heart, but is that enough for Drew and
Cassie to get a second chance at love, or has time and suffering
already sealed their fate?
4.5 Stars
Petite Madeleine is the third book, in the Meadows Shore series. Much like the two previous books in this series, this book is well written, and a wonderful blend of heat and sweetness. Petite Madeleine is an emotion filled, moving and heartwarming read that delves into some difficult topics. Cassie and Drew parted ways after he was devastated by the death of his parents, ten years later fate intervenes and they are given a second chance at finding their happy ever after.
Drew is a lovely hero, like any realistic and relate-able character he has his flaws but overall he makes for a lovely book boyfriend. He's fun, flirty, loving and incredibly loyal. He's particularly family orientated and has incredibly strong bonds with his siblings and cousins alike.
Cassie is a lovely, sweet heroine. Although she and Drew found love at a young age, she has changed both physically and emotionally since their relationship and carries scars and insecurities that she has to overcome if they are to find happiness.
I love how this book can be read as a standalone, but the characters from the previous books are still integrated into the story line. I can't wait to see which of the Claytons or Harringtons has their story told next.
I thoroughly recommend Petite Madeleine, especially for anyone who loves a romance series, or family focused contemporary romance.
Eva
Charles is the author of the multi-titled Meadows Shore Series that
chronicles the lives and loves of the Clayton-Harrington family. She
invites you to visit their beloved Meadows Shore nestled in the
charming seaside town of Fair Harbor, where you will enjoy love,
laughter, loyalty, and an abundance of mouth-watering food,
Portuguese style.
After
being a confirmed city-girl for more than thirty-five years, Eva
moved to beautiful Western Massachusetts in 2014. There, she found
herself living in the woods with no job, no friends (unless you count
the turkeys, deer, and coyotes roaming the backyard), and no children
underfoot, wondering what on earth she'd been thinking. But as it
turned out, it was the perfect setting to take all those yarns
spinning in her head and weave them into a romantic tale.
When
she's not writing, trying to squeeze information out of her
tight-lipped sons, or playing with the two cutest dogs you've ever
seen, Eva's creating chapters in her own love story.
A
Wedding at Meadows Shore
A Meadows Shore Novel
Meadows Shore
Book 1
Prepare
to fall in love with the Claytons and Harringtons, a wealthy and
powerful New England family with a rich Portuguese heritage. Visit
their beloved Meadows Shore nestled in the charming seaside town of
Fair Harbor, where you'll enjoy love, laughter, loyalty, and an
abundance of mouth-watering food.
A
Wedding at Meadows Shore is Sophie Clayton's story. Smart, stubborn,
and strong, family means everything to her. After a failed marriage,
she creates a new life for herself, one that excludes men. Sophie
doesn't trust men, or maybe she doesn't trust her judgment when it
comes to them. Then she meets Max, a man who leads his life in a way
that challenges those very trust issues.
Max
Parker is a handsome playboy with a taste for younger women and a
past that haunts him. He keeps what's left of his heart well
protected behind a cool exterior, and fills the emptiness with
lucrative business deals, punishing exercise, and women he'll never
love. But there's another side to Max, one that he keeps well hidden,
until Sophie blows into his life like a whirlwind and knocks him off
his game, threatening to expose his darkest secrets.
There's
an Old Portuguese adage that translates as, "the rooster crows
loudly, but it's the hen who's in charge". And so it is with the
Claytons and Harringtons: strong women, alpha males, and of course,
Avó Angelina, the family matriarch who keeps them all on their best
behavior.
Bem
vindo à família,
Welcome to the family!

A Meadows Shore Novel
Meadows Shore Book 2
Meadows
Shore is the childhood home of the five Clayton sisters and the six
Harrington brothers, the family seat where these irresistible
characters gather regularly, or whenever they need the comfort of
Portuguese home cooking and the love and wisdom of elder women.
Cole
Harrington, the oldest of those swoon-worthy Harrington brothers, is
a gifted trauma surgeon with a cocky smile and a whole lot of
swagger. He’s assigned an executive coach after he smashes the
thermostat in the operating room to smithereens.
Alexa
Petersen is a nice girl from Minnesota who’s been tasked with
shadowing the naughty trauma surgeon, and writing a report to end his
promising career. While she might prefer pretty lace panties, Alexa’s
not afraid to slip on a pair of steel-toed boots when Cole needs to
be knocked down a notch or two.
Hospital drama and small-town
woes, the truth obscured by secrets and lies. Where nothing is as it
appears—not even Cole and Alexa.
