Jenna Boltz's life is at a crossroads. After a messy divorce from her surgeon husband nearly twenty years ago, she raised her two children on her own, juggling motherhood with her beloved job as a Seattle intensive-care nurse. Now that Paul and Allie have gone to college and moved out, Jenna can't help but wonder what her future holds.

Her best friend, Maureen, is excited for Jenna's newfound independence. Now is the perfect time to finally book the trip to Paris they've been dreaming of since their college days. But when it comes to life's other great adventure--dating--Jenna still isn't sure she's ready to let love in . . . until an unexpected encounter begins to change her mind.

When Jenna's elderly mother breaks her hip, Dr. Rowan Lancaster saves the day. Despite his silent, stoic exterior, Rowan is immediately smitten with Jenna. And even though Jenna is hesitant about becoming involved with another surgeon, she has to admit that she's more than a little intrigued. But when Jenna's children approach her with shocking news, she realizes that she needs to have faith in love and embrace the unexpected--before the life she has always dreamed of passes her by

Window on the Bay by Debbie Macomber

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

such a great story. Jenna and Maureen have always been best friends and had made plans when they were younger to go to Paris after they graduated college but things kept happening to put it off. Now Jenna's mom has broken her hip and she needs to go and take care of her. Her mom's doctor, Rowan Lancaster starts taking a liking to Jenna pretty much from the start but Jenna was hurt by her messy divorce 20 years ago and not quite ready to open her heart even now. Jenna's ex was also a surgeon so she is not wanting to date another one.
I liked how the story kept alternating between the lives of Maureen and Jenna and getting to know them. Also Jenna's 2 kids needed a kick in the butt also, They are grown adults and both needy in their own way.

I received this from NetGalley for review.
