I'm reading the stories in Last Chance Beach: Summer's End, and I'm reviewing them, one story at a time.
So far, I've reviewed:
Today, I'm reviewing Paradise Perfume by Connie Vines.
Tempest has a business as unique as her name. She grew up as a military brat and never had permanency in her life until her widowed mother remarries and deeds Rose Cottage to Tempest.
Her life seems complete. Then she meets Abby Bennett, a tween who is vacationing with her dad. Abby is sweet, vulnerable, and a little lonely. She reminds Tempest of herself.
Abby is fascinated by Tempest and by her perfumery. She's also eager for her single dad to meet Tempest. When Tempest finally meets Sam, she is immediately attracted to him.
Paradise Perfume gives you a delightful picture of a girl ready to grow up, and a heroine willing to help her navigate that journey. The romantic short story also offers a lesson in perfume and scents.
Find a recipe to try and stock up on ingredients so you'll be ready for a cocktail party of your own—even if you and your significant other are the only guests!
You'll also get to read an excerpt from each story in the boxset.
Takeaway Truth
I hope you're enjoying the stories in Last Chance Beach: Summer's End. If you haven't bought your copy yet, it's only 99 cents.
