First book in Charleston Trilogy

Book 3. "Waking Up In Charleston"


Dinah Davis has been a big time, big name reporter for the past 10 years spending her days on the front lines of war to cover the stories to share back home. After suffering a terrible tragedy while overseas that killed her lover/ best friend/camera man, she is forced to take some time off to get herself together and figure out what to do with her life. Returning back home to Charleston, SC seems like the only thing to do. I mean, there she has her family, who adores her, a best friend who supports her, and good ole Bobby Beaufort, the boy who once said he would marry her if she ever decided to come home to saty.

When Dinah gets home she discovers that Bobby is nowhere to be found - well, at least nowhere that anyone will talk about to HER. Instead she is left to deal with his brother Cord, her sworn enemy - the thorn in her side - a lying weasel - who makes her hot and bothered even when she does her best to deny deny deny.

Dinah is trying to recover from a tragedy and battle scars that cause terrifying panic attacks and major bouts of PTSD. Cord has been there and done that after serving time in the Gulf War. He becomes her lifeline when the world seems to be falling apart and a shoulder to cry on when she can't hold back her tears any longer. Through it all she finds a man who is not the same silly boy he once was and a love that heals her broken heart for good.

Another great great book from Sherryl Woods. This first installment of the trilogy has all the humor, romance, and friendship that all of her books have, but this one is a bit more serious than books 2 and 3 because of Dinah's story and her struggles. Couldn't put it down!!!
