My Review:
The Love List is a women’s fiction read about starting over, the power of friendship, and falling in love again.
Bea is just coming off a divorce and is learning what being single means. She was so used to being in sync with her ex and just following his lead. Now, she is making a ‘love list’. A list of items she loves that she has always wanted to do like fly a kite and walk along a beach. When her friends send her to a beach for a vacation, she is surprised when she starts to feel chemistry with a man, Grant.
Grant is a kind and relaxed man who is in charge of the place where Bea is staying. He is also going through a divorce and is too surprised that he is feeling a connection to another woman so quickly. He tries to play it cool but he just wants to spend time with her.
Bea and Grant have amazing chemistry and really help each other find themselves again. It’s really a beautiful romance to read about.
