I set a new speed record for reading when I came to Barbara McMahons Rocky Point Reunion. I read it in 15 minutes.
The story concerns small town girl Marcie Winter who is pining for her high school sweetheart, Zack Kincaid, who left her at the altar to become a race car driver in Europe. Now hes returned to Rocky Point, Maine, and Zack asks Marcie for a second chance.
Now, if I were 18 years old and in love with Zack Kincaid, I would have married him (even eloped) and lived in Europe while he raced cars for 10 years. Then we would have returned to Rocky Point and started a family. Which is what an intelligent person would have done. Instead, we get a heroine who martyrs herself for her family and who will, in all probability, fine somebody on Facebook in the future and leave Zack because shes never really seen the world that exists past the end of her driveway.
I am utterly, completely sick of this tired trope of small town life beats big city life. Can you imagine the fun of living in Europe in your 20s? The sights you would see: Venice, Paris, London? Anybody who thinks that living in a town with one stoplight and a diner is somehow better than living in a vibrant city with culture such as museums, art, and theater needs to pull their head out of their ass. Read it only if youre bored.

Rocky Point Series Book 2
Zack Kincaid had a dream and it was not going to come true in the small town of Rocky Point, Maine. He receives a phone call that is dream could come true, too bad he had to leave the night before his wedding to Marcie Winter. Now ten years later he's back in Rocky Point to help his brother. He found his dream was lacking all these years without Marcie in his life, could he get her forgiveness and a second chance?
Marcie was happy never to leave her small home town. She bought a cafe and had a good life. So what if the hope of marriage and children would never happen, she just never met someone to replace Zack. Now he's back in town but she knows that Rocky Point can't replace all the glamor and lights of the big cities he's used to. She just has to hold onto her heart until he leaves again, and he will leave again.
The first book is The Family Next Door and that story is about Zack's brother, Joe. They are stand alone books but if you enjoy series you may want to start there. The third book is called Rocky Point Promise.
These three books look to be the first for Love Inspired but Barbara McMahon has been a familiar name with over 80 books published through Harlequin. For the complete listing of her books check out fictiondb.

Marcie has a hard time admitting that she never quit loving the man who left her at the alter the night before their wedding. He never quit loving her either.
Circumstances and situations push them together. Will they finally admit their love? A very, very good romance
that keeps the reader reading!
