Annie is back from Hollywood after a three month stay. While there, she helped adapt her best selling mystery novels into screenplays. Happy to be back on Chappy, she begins to get back into the island way of life. There are many issues when she gets back. Will she continue to be a fiancée or will her plans be hampered by circumstances beyond her control? Moves, new babies, new roles in other's lives, a felon, and a father. These are just some of the issues. This is a very busy book! Annie seems to be constantly up in everyone's business, but not really communicative with anyone. She keeps secrets from people. No bueno, Annie! She gets angry when her fiancé doesn't call, but then rationalizes her not calling because he should first. If you have a relationship with his children and they with you, why wouldn't you call? You're supposed to get married in just weeks!! The book swings back and forth between crises and at the end, you think Annie will do one thing and she does another. Is it good for her? Only time...and possibly the next book will tell. I'm not sure I'll go back and read the rest of the titles in this series, but I did get some important backstory just reading an excerpt from the first chapter of the first book in the series. An OK read for me.. Perhaps those who have read the whole series will have a different opinion. From my experience, as a first time reader of this author and not knowing this was part of a series, this series should be read from book 1 to get all of the nuanced descriptions and associations of the other characters. I had a very harsh review going in my head, until I realized that this book is part of a series. No wonder I had so many holes in my understanding of the story. Whew...I thought I was going crazy!! Now knowing that there is SO MUCH BACK STORY that I didn't have, I am reviewing the book on it's own merits as a standalone.
