Summary:

Newly divorced Polly Morgan is feeling jaded. She hopes that extra time in the oceanside town of Indigo Bay before her friend’s wedding will help set herself straight again. However, she doesn’t expect to have to save the entire event alongside the man she measures all kisses against—her first love, Nick Wylder.

Nick hasn’t seen Polly in almost two decades, but that doesn’t mean he’s stopped thinking about her. He’s pretty sure she feels the power of their rekindled love too, and he’s ready to make a move. To his Texas ranch, to her home in Canada—anywhere as long as she’s there.

But what will he do when his fast moves send Polly running? Can these two exes overcome their past and claim their second chance at love? (Goodreads)

Review:

Sweet Troublemaker is the first in the Indigo Bay Second Chances series by Canadian author Jean Oram. This is a “new to me” series by this author, whom is also fairly new to me as well. I found her writing style engaging, witty and with a bit (or a lot) of romantic angst.

I found the main characters (Polly and Nick) both had depth and substance as characters. Both were flawed as well as slightly injured with respect to their individual past romances, which added to their relatability. And for this Canadian reader – I found that Polly was from Canada and Nick from the US kind of fun.

Nick and Polly were involved as teenagers but have not seen each other in over two decades. You could tell that the “spark” from their teen years was still present. They come together to celebrate the wedding of Nick’s uncle and quickly become involved in the preparations for the wedding when the wedding planner quits. Can these two work so closely together to pull off a wonderful wedding? I quite enjoyed the ingenuity of Polly and Nick when problem solving various aspects of pulling together the wedding. Let me tell you – there was also some HEAT between the two – and that certainly added a fun dimension.

In the end – would the cowboy from Texas end up with the gal from Canada? Guess you will have to read this engaging romance and find out! I anticipate you will enjoy the writing of Ms. Oram as much as I have. So much so that I have gone ahead and gotten more of this delightful series (Indigo Bay Second Chances) to read 🙂 Happy to have found another Canadian author that I can support wholeheartedly!
