Description:
The Sunshine Hideaway, with its big bay windows and stunning view of Sunflower Island’s golden beaches, is the only place Madison Skylar has ever truly thought of as home. Could returning to the island be the second chance she needs?
When twenty-three-year-old Madison arrives at The Sunshine Hideaway, she discovers the beautiful little guesthouse is falling into disrepair. With the help of old friends Amy and Connor, Madison throws herself into creating a gorgeous wellness retreat, introducing yoga sessions, adventure walks and ice-cream sundaes with a delicious twist. But will it be enough to save her childhood home?
Handsome and mysterious Connor has lived on Sunflower Island his whole life. He works hard as a builder, with his faithful dog Jaws by his side, but something is missing and he dreams of bigger things. As Connor helps to revamp The Sunshine Hideaway, this could be his opportunity to tell the woman he’s secretly been in love with for years how he really feels…
As spontaneous and fun-loving Madison settles into life on the close-knit island, sparks fly between her and shy Connor as they clash on the reinvention of the guesthouse. Are the they too different to make things work or will Madison and Connor finally find true love this year?
An utterly perfect, feel-good romance about the power of friendship, the meaning of home and the joy of falling in love in the sunshine. Perfect for fans of Carole Matthews, Milly Johnson and Debbie Macomber.

MY REVIEW:
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Such a great story of how someone can turn another person around and how a small town is there for each other. Madison arrives at The Sunshine Hideaway. Which is owned by her Aunt and Uncle. They have gone on a cruise and she was there to surprise them. She has decided that after 5 years of traveling that she wants to be here and make this her home. She wants to add Yoga and walks on trails to activities at the Hideaway. We do know from the beginning that her Aunt and Uncle plan on selling and her Aunt had a heart attack. But Dee and Connor are not to tell her. Connor grew up with a father who had never shown love and everything was work, work and work. Now Connor is in the same mindframe but Madison is trying to show him he needs time for fun.Madison has had a crush on him since she was 15 but he always made her feel like a nuisance. You can see that he has feelings but he doesn't want to. She keeps working her way into his life and showing him there is more to just working.
