Review: Good but earlier books in this series are better

I’ve been enjoying Christina’s Sherbrookes of Newport series from the first book and I had to wonder how she could manage to do a book four since all of the Sherbrooke siblings were partnered off now. For this book, we get to see Callie Sherbrooke’s best friend Lauren find love.I can’t say I enjoyed this book as much as the previous three. Perhaps it is an example of going to the well once too many times. The heroine, Lauren, has been in love with her high school sweetheart despite the fact the man went off to join the military without a goodbye. It’s been 15 years and she is still carrying a torch, even though she tries to tell herself otherwise.Lauren is in a relationship with a “seemingly” great guy. He’s rich and successful and he can give Lauren the kind of life she only imagined. But does she really want that life? When Lauren’s high school love, Nate, returns to town the attraction between them is still as strong as ever. And Nate wants to make up for the past by winning Lauren’s heart back.I thought Lauren was a very wishy washy character who didn’t really know what she wanted. She wasn’t a great judge of character either since she didn’t see that rich Kevin was only using Lauren to gain access to her friendship with Callie.This story played out very similarly to how the other books did and the writing is still well done but overall I can’t rate it as high.3 out of 5 starsI received a copy of this novel for an honest review
