Details:

Welcome to Black Dog Bay, a tiny seaside town in Delaware known as “the best place in America to bounce back from your breakup.” Home to the Better Off Bed-and-Breakfast, the Eat Your Heart Out bakery, and the Whinery bar, Black Dog Bay offers a haven for the suddenly single.   Flight attendant Summer Benson lives by two rules: Don’t stay with the same man for too long and never stay in one place. She’s about to break rule number one by considering accepting her boyfriend’s proposal—then disaster strikes and her world is shattered in an instant.   Summer heads to Black Dog Bay, where the locals welcome her. Even Hattie Huntington, the town’s oldest, richest, and meanest resident, likes her enough to give her a job. Then there’s Dutch Jansen, the rugged, stoic mayor, who’s the opposite of her type. She probably shouldn’t be kissing him. She definitely shouldn’t be falling in love.   After a lifetime of globe-trotting, Summer has finally found a home. But Hattie has old scores to settle and a hidden agenda for her newest employee. Summer finds herself faced with an impossible choice: Leave Black Dog Bay behind forever, or stay with the ones she loves and cost them everything.... From Booklist *Starred Review* If Summer hadn’t been swerving to avoid a turtle crossing the road, and if a Taylor Swift song hadn’t been playing on her radio at the same time (causing Summer to inexplicably start crying), Summer never would have mowed through Dutch Jansen’s prized rose bushes. Summer would have thought that as the mayor of Black Dog Bay—the best place in America to bounce back from a bad breakup—Dutch would be at least a little sympathetic towards her since Summer’s dream-come-true relationship with Aaron Marchand has just crashed and burned. But Summer doesn’t really care that Dutch is not exactly rolling out the welcome wagon. The only reason she’s in Black Dog Bay is to get over Aaron. As the small town’s unique approach to healing broken hearts begins to work its magic, however, Summer finds there is one man she simply can’t get out of her mind, a man who loves roses. Kendrick’s impeccable sense of comic timing and flair for creating unforgettable characters make this effervescent novel a smart bet for romance readers everywhere, while the novel’s deft integration of the topics of family, friendship, and community ensure it can easily attract a broader readership, as well. --John Charles
