Holiday in the Hamptons by Sarah Morgan

From Manhattan with Love, Book 5

Synopsis: The perfect summer escape…?

Professional dog-walker Felicity Knight loves everything about New York…until her ex-husband starts working at her local vet clinic. She hasn’t seen Seth Carlyle in ten years, but one glimpse of him – too gorgeous, and still too good for her – and Fliss’s heart hurts like their whirlwind marriage ended yesterday. So when her grandmother in The Hamptons needs help for the summer, it seems the perfect way to escape her past…

Their relationship might only have lasted a few scorching months, but vet Seth knows Fliss – if she’s run away to The Hamptons, it’s because she still feels their connection and it terrifies her. He let her go once before, when he didn’t know any better, but not this summer! With the help of his adorable dog Lulu, and a sprinkling of beachside magic, Seth is determined to make Fliss see that he’s never stopped loving her…

Review: When you want to read a good romance, Sarah Morgan is usually a very good choice! That’s why I started with pleasure Holiday in the Hamptons, putting forward characters from the previous novel and I must say that I had a good time.

Fliss is a bit disillusioned when it comes to love. Her first marriage, very young, with a man she thought she loved only lasted a few months, so when she learns that he is in town, ten years later; she absolutely wants to run away from him, unable to face him. But then, as she leaves in the Hamptons to take care of her grandmother, she is convinced that she has succeeded, until she falls on him … and pretends to be Harriet, her twin sister.

As I said, I had a good time with the novel. Fliss is a character broken by her childhood and she will have to face it now, something that will not be easy for her. However, it is also what will show her that people are proud of her, that she is not obliged to internalize everything and that many people are there for her too.

It was a touching romance and Seth is adorable! It’s very easy to fall under his spell and I was very curious to see how they were going to solve things together!
