One More Time

Jack & McKenna story in One More Time is an excellent story. I loved how they met on the ferry just before the wedding of her brother Kenan. Jack becomes her knight in shining armor when he comes to McKenna’s aid an introduces himself as her boyfriend to her ex from high school and they become friends. This story deals with bullying and dating someone just because the family is well known and the effects it has on their adult relationships. The story is emotional and is heartwarming and you will love McKenna. I throughly enjoyed reading this book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

4.5 Stars This is book 4 in the Fireweed Harbor series and it features Jack Hamilton and McKenna Cannon. Their meeting was unconventional to say the least but their chemistry was OFF THE CHARTS! They each have their issues for not getting into serious entanglements but when your chemistry is this strong, can you even resist. This was a fantastic story with amazing characters. I really NEED to find out what happens with Derek! Hopefully he’ll get his own story or at least we’ll hear about him in someone else’s story. I’m not sure how this author does it but her stories are always fresh, which keeps me coming back for more.

Jack and McKenna’s story has them meeting at her bro’s wedding. They both have past that shaped their perspective on relationships. But what they don’t count on is chemistry and hormones.

It started with a black eye and a wedding. It kept getting more and more interesting -- meetings and passion. Friends and family, secrets and communication. Possibilities. I am new to the Fireweed Harbor but I will have to change that. I have followed several other series by JH Croix and they are all very good. Bravo!.

I loved reading this book. Each chapter further solidified my feelings. The characters had my attention from the moment they met. That scene was priceless and felt realistic. The way the author crafted their journey was such an intriguing ride. Great story.
