Blurb
Love, loyalty, or letting go—Some decisions break more than hearts. They change everything.
Lauren MacMillan needs two things in a beach to ground herself and a project person to fix. When she meets Taylor Montgomery on a Southern California beach, he isn’t quite project material, but he is friend material. As their friendship cements itself, Lauren’s interest in Taylor is platonic. Until it isn’t.
Taylor isn’t in the market for a relationship, and he doesn’t need fixing. Lauren may have broken through his crusty exterior, but brutal med school schedules do not coexist with relationships—romantic or otherwise. Doctor ambitions will always trump happily-ever-after delusions.
When a hunky Texas cop takes up the pursuit for Lauren’s heart, her friendship with Taylor will have to take a backseat. Making a life altering decision is never easy. Jumping into the unknown is hard. Healing your heart is hard. Sometimes, picking your hard is the easiest choice of all.
Review
Lauren and Taylor meet when they’re teenagers and form a strong friendship, but life and goals pull them in different directions. Lauren later marries and has children while Taylor builds his career as a doctor. As the years pass, their friendship ebbs and flows until suddenly they have a chance for something more. But will heartache and too much lost time destroy the happiness they could find in each other’s arms?
This kind of love story isn’t what I typically read. In fact, it felt like women’s fiction to me, like a Hallmark or made-for-TV movie. It was actually refreshing to read something different from my norm. Lauren and Taylor are wonderful characters, each flawed in their own way. Lauren’s husband, Trent, was a great guy, and with him, various family members, friends, and lots of other secondary characters, the book was very fleshed out. I didn’t notice any typos, so I’m always amazed and pleased by a properly edited story.
Readers, if you’re looking for a tearjerker romance story that you can’t put down, “Three Waves, One Ocean” is the book for you.
