Dr. Sylvia Greene is taking a bold step for herself. She goes to the Tarrin’s Bay Wishing Festival and makes a wish. One she doesn’t share with anyone. Then she soon finds her life flipped upside down. Some of the changes are hard, like her boyfriend walking out on her when he discovers she had a baby as a teen. Sylvia is strong, though, and rises to every challenge! Including the handsome Mark who’s struggling with his own set of issues. Then there’s Sylvia’s daughter Grace Forrester. Grace’s character brought so much to this story. Plus, she has a crush of her own growing.I thought this was an amazing story that was so much more than just a romance. I’m a sucker for romance; it’s my favorite genre. But, I want a book to be more. This book is! I often times felt like I was on an emotional rollercoaster. There’s plenty of humor and heart-warming moments, but this book is also a real tear-jerker. I teared up more than once, and that’s not usual for me! The characters were so real, and I felt like I was right there with them.The only downside for me at all was the bittersweet ending. I won’t give any details away, but that was the hardest for me to take. I really, really hope Ms. Madison follows this book up with Grace’s story – and I’d really, really love to see a particular reunion for Grace – hint! hint!I recommend this to all those romance lovers out there that like a bit of depth to their stories! An easy 4 Stars!!*I received a copy of this book via NetGalley, Harlequin Enterprises Australia, and Escape Publishing in exchange for an honest review.*
