Rating: 3 out of 5

This is my 4th book that I have read in this series, each one has a special theme and each character is connected back to the Saunders Family. This one has the focus on Robbie Saunders, the younger brother of Jack Saunders who has recently taken over leadership of the multi-million dollar family oil business (we met Jack in Saltwater Kisses). Robbie has always felt like he was in his brothers shadow, and could never measure up; he never had any desire to be involved in the family business, and felt that his Father, the patriarch of the Saunders family saw him as a failure. In Robbie's mind, the only thing they ever shared was the love of sailing. As a young boy, Robbie and his friend Samantha took sailing lessons together, until she had to move away with her family and they loss touch over the years. Now as adults they have reconnected again over their love of sailing. Both are struggling with loss and things not going as they had planned, but the one constant is their love of sailing and their love for each other. It is a sweet story, and the author took great care in her details regarding sailing and boats (which would be extra special for someone with a passion for sailing). It was nice having the connection back to characters from previous stories. This was a nice addition to the collection, not my fav in the series, but a sweet read all the same.  I'm hoping that Samantha's sister Grace will get a story, and I'm wondering if she will connect with Matt, who we originally met in Champagne Kisses (which is my favorite of the series so far), I guess we shall wait and see.
