Summer on Sunshine Bay - by Debbie Mason (Paperback)

About the Book

"Lila Rosetti Sinclair is headed home to Sunshine Bay to make the final plans for her wedding day when she is shocked by two life-changing surprises: a positive pregnancy test and the news that her family's business is struggling. Lila is determined to give this baby the close-knit family that she never had growing up. But the second surprise provides a complication when Lila learns that her fiance's family has invested in the competitor to her family's restaurant. Her perfect vision of the future is further muddled when she runs into her childhood crush, Luke Hollingsworth, and gets two more surprises: the crush was mutual and she finds herself confiding in him. Lila's mother, Eva Rosetti, loves life, her family and friends, good food and wine, dancing and singing, and sex with no strings attached. But when she blew out the fifty candles on her birthday cake three months earlier, it was as if she'd extinguished a part of herself. She's lost her joie de vivre, and her restaurant La Dolce Vita has been failing too. Helping to plan her daughter's wedding brings her in close contact with her ex-husband, and Eva finds herself reconsidering her views on life and love. As mother and daughter work to rebuild their lives and reconnect after years of estrangement, can they each find a second chance at romance?"--

Book Synopsis

Welcome to Sunshine Bay, where the joys of summer last all year round.
Lila Rosetti Sinclair returns to Sunshine Bay a bundle of nerves. After being gone for years, sharing the news that she's engaged--to a man her mother has never met--is going to be difficult to navigate. But when her fiancé David surprises her with an engagement party at Windemere, the upscale inn his parents recently purchased and that just may put her family's restaurant, La Dolce Vita, out of business, Lila's got a whole new set of problems.
Eva Rosetti is so ecstatic to finally have her daughter home that she pushes aside her misgivings about having to come face-to-face with Lila's father again. That is until he sweeps into town and feelings Eva thought far behind her resurface....
With a family business to save and a wedding to plan, Eva and Lila's reunion is more than either bargained for, but with a little luck and a whole lot of support from friends and family, it may just turn out to be the best summer of their lives.

Review Quotes

"I loved everything about this book. One of the things I most enjoy about Debbie Mason -
- besides her multi-layered, fully-developed characters - is her willingness to tackle tough situations in thoughtful, emotionally sensitive ways. I'm hoping Summer on Sunshine Bay won't be the last we see of the Rosetti women."--TheRomanceDish.com

"The characters and plot are layered and interesting, and the setting has such wonderful small-town charm and beachy vibes. I totally want to be part of the Rosetti family and eat all of the delicious-sounding food they create!--OneBookMore.com
