Im just a bit sad as I write this review. Why? Because book three in the Manawa Summers series has come to an end. A very satisfying end, but an end none the less, thus the part of me that is sad.

Once youve traveled to Lake Manawa, Iowa, you will never want to leave. Having spent three books there, felt the sand between my toes, the sea breeze on my face and made friends with Marguerite, Emily and Lilly, I promise you I will be visiting again and again and again

Lilly is the star of The Ride of Her Life and the poor woman definitely has a ride and its not all roller coaster thrills. A budding romance that might require more daring than shes willing to chance, in-laws that should (Im sorry) be hung by the toes for the torture they put their former daughter in law through and the cutest little boy you will read about in todays Christian fiction.

The novel is darling. I love the characters. The romance. The little boy (yes, I know I already mentioned him, read the book and youll know why). The setting is truly escape-worthy. Tension abounds, along with the scent of flame-torched fried chicken. Nick is a stand-out hero, one I really wanted to see get his happily-ever-after. Perfect.

A hidden escape that becomes an intimate gathering of all that makes a good novel so incredibly enjoyable. Escape to Manawa Island, youll be so glad you did!

This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers for my copy to review.
