This second book of the Lake of the Pines series features the youngest sister's romance. Socially awkward Maddy is content to stay in the background and let other's shine, guarding herself from rejection, second nature. So when she meets handsome Mason, Maddy is convinced she is setting herself up for rejection.  But, Mason's had it with superficial women and thoughtful, sweet Maddy is a breath of fresh air. Rejecting her is the last thing on his mind, but Maddy needs to be convinced that it's alright to take her time.Shar Dimick writes the progression of their romance with authenticity, each character evolving naturally. Falling in love really does give courage to the shy and focus to the undecided. It's a pleasure to read a romance based on not only chemistry and attraction, but emotion and vulnerability too.After reading Take a Deep Breath and Take Your Time, I'll buy the next for sure.
