Playing for Love at Deep Haven by Katy Regnery is the first book in her Enchanted Places series.Violet and Zach are best friends in college. Each one inspires the other. His music inspires her poetry and her poetry inspires his music. It's only a matter of time before they fall for each other. Things don't go very smoothly after Violet professes her love and nine years later is still dealing with the scars that Zach's walking out on her left on her heart.Zach has only ever loved one woman and was too stupid to realize it until it was too late and she had already moved on. Now he feels like a sell-out and is taking a break to follow his dream. Little does he realize that his dream has been double booked into the same vacation house as him and after nine years he may get a chance to set things right.A beautifully written tale of love and loss and overcoming past hurts. Both characters were given such depth and feeling AND they had some steamy love scenes. You won't find this girl complaining. I'm curious to see how Zach's twin sister Cora's story plays out in the next anticipated book in this series Restoring Love at Bolton Castle (Enchanted Places #2).No one came closeto the place she still occupied in his heart, and sometimes, when her voice echoed in his head, the sudden burst of agony-of regret-could take his breath away. Angry songs came easily. Fury came easily. Sad came easily, but he hated sad.Sad was weak and useless and he refused to write it.As for beauty? Zach scoffed. Beauty felt impossible.-Zach Aubrey
