Michelle has received a notice that she has to vacate her coffee shop in 60 days. She doesn’t realize that it’s come from a customer she considered a friend, Grayson Reed. Soon, Michelle’s friends who also have businesses on the waterfront admit they have received the same notice.
Grayson Reed wants to see Twin Waves develop into a place that has more to offer than just small town charm. Michelle is not necessarily against Twin Waves becoming more progressive, but she is against it losing that charm that brings in the tourists and the community that the local businesses have made for the residents.
Watching these two circle each other in heated debates after sniffing around each other for seven years has the whole town talking, and placing bets on when these “enemies” will realize that they both want to be lovers.
The secondary characters provide comedic entertainment, but one that I feel can easily be overlooked is Scott, Grayson’s business partner. While I didn’t like Scott at first, he grew on me because he is observant. He sees that Michelle and her crew aren’t being difficult just to be difficult, they do truly want what's best for the town. Scott helps Grayson see that the answer to their problems could be working together to make something that could keep both sides happy.
One of my favorite moments that brought some levity to the romantic tension between Michelle and Grayson was the children’s debate on which is better: mermaids or pirates. The main arguments being that mermaids can breathe underwater, which is basically a super power, but pirates have swords and treasure.
As advertised in the book, this is “Romeo and Juliet with better coffee and hopefully less tragedy”.
I’m hoping that Scott gets his own happily ever after in a future book, and I can’t wait to see what shenanigans the bookclub women get up to in the series.
